We also provide targeted tick treatments for properties in high-risk GTA zones where ticks thrive, especially in shaded, grassy, and wooded areas.

• Detailed Flea & Tick Inspection
We inspect carpets, baseboards, furniture, bedding, pet resting areas, yards, shaded spots, and moisture zones to identify flea activity, eggs, larvae, breeding pockets, and potential tick habitats.

• Whole-Home Flea Life-Cycle Elimination
Our approach targets all four flea stages (egg, larva, pupa, adult), ensuring long-lasting results and preventing re-infestation — much more effective than store-bought sprays or DIY solutions.

Fleas and ticks are persistent, fast-spreading pests that can affect both homes and pets across the Greater Toronto Area. The GTA’s humid summers, dense residential neighborhoods, and active pet communities create ideal conditions for these pests to thrive. Vanguard Pest Control tackles every stage of the infestation — from eggs and larvae to biting adults — ensuring your home stays safe, clean, and protected.
Flea infestations in carpets, sofas, and pet bedding
These hotspots trap eggs and larvae, allowing infestations to spread quickly throughout the home.
Tick activity in yards, basements, and shaded outdoor areas
Ticks often hide in grass, wood piles, and foundation gaps before entering the home.
Recurring fleas brought in by pets
Pets can unknowingly transport fleas from parks, kennels, grooming facilities, or other animals.
Flea bites on children and adults
Small, red clusters of itchy bites often indicate an ongoing infestation hidden within the property.
Tick bites posing health risks
Ticks in the GTA can transmit illnesses such as Lyme disease — early control is essential.
Flea eggs hiding deep in flooring, cracks, and upholstery
Eggs can survive for weeks, re-triggering infestations if not properly treated.
Pest migration from neighbouring units in apartments/condos
Shared walls and hallways allow fleas to move between units, especially in pet-friendly buildings.
Outdoor-to-indoor pest transfer during summer
Seasonal spikes lead to high flea and tick activity in suburban neighbourhoods and wooded areas.
