Flea & Tick Control in Edmond, Oklahoma
Murray Pest Control — Free Inspection — 405-377-7777
Edmond’s greenbelts, retention ponds, parks, and abundant wildlife make flea and tick pressure a year-round reality for homeowners. Fleas reproduce fast — a handful can become hundreds within weeks. Ticks present a genuine health risk, especially the Lone Star tick common throughout the Oklahoma City metro. Murray Pest Control uses professional-grade treatments that break the full life cycle, not just knock down visible adults.
Flea Control in Edmond
Over-the-counter flea bombs and sprays miss the eggs and pupae stage — which means the infestation rebounds within weeks. Murray Pest Control uses insect growth regulators (IGRs) that prevent flea eggs from hatching combined with adulticides for immediate knockdown. We also treat the yard to eliminate the outdoor source that keeps reintroducing fleas through your pets.
Tick Control in Edmond
Edmond’s landscaped neighborhoods, creek corridors, and large wooded lots provide ideal tick habitat right next to homes. The Lone Star tick — common throughout Oklahoma County — is aggressive, bites repeatedly, and can transmit ehrlichiosis and STARI. Regular perimeter barrier treatments dramatically reduce tick populations in your yard, protecting your family and pets during the warm months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I keep getting fleas even after treating?
Most over-the-counter products only kill adults. Flea pupae are encased in a cocoon that is nearly impervious to insecticides — they hatch weeks later and the cycle starts again. Professional IGR treatment breaks this cycle by preventing eggs from hatching in the first place.
Do I need to treat the yard as well as the house?
Yes — especially in Edmond where wildlife activity is high. If the yard isn’t treated, pets will keep bringing fleas back inside. We treat both indoor and outdoor environments for complete control.
How soon can I return home after treatment?
People and pets should stay out during treatment and for 1–2 hours afterward while products dry. We’ll walk you through preparation and re-entry instructions when you schedule.
