Why Choose Summit for Pest Control?
These three pests thrive in warm, moist conditions, making the spring through early fall season in Omaha the prime time for outbreaks. Though they may seem similar, these pests have distinct behaviors, habitats, and health risks. Understanding the difference is key to effective treatment and prevention.
These tiny, reddish-brown insects are notorious for infesting pets and yards alike. Fleas hide out in shady, moist areas of grass and soil, which is why proper aeration and lawn care are so important. While they don’t fly, their powerful legs allow them to jump long distances to latch onto passing pets or people. Flea bites cause itchy welts and can lead to allergic reactions, while also transmitting diseases like tapeworms and Bartonella.
Ticks are technically arachnids, and unlike fleas, they don’t jump. Instead, they patiently perch on tall grass and low shrubs, waiting to latch onto a host that brushes by. Ticks in eastern Nebraska, including the black-legged tick, lone star tick, and American dog tick, can transmit serious illnesses such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. They’re often found in woodsy or unkempt areas, making lawn maintenance and professional treatment crucial.
Chiggers are the larval stage of a type of mite, almost invisible to the naked eye. They tend to cluster in tall grass, dense ground cover, and areas with poor air circulation. While they don’t spread disease in Nebraska, their bites cause intense irritation, itching, and swelling. Children and those with sensitive skin are especially vulnerable to the discomfort these pests cause.
Omaha’s unique mix of urban greenery, shaded backyards, and pet-friendly neighborhoods makes it a hotspot for pest activity. Ticks thrive in wooded edges and unkept grass along fences. Fleas love the damp, shaded corners under porches and around pet hangouts, and chiggers thrive in any patch of thick, undisturbed turf.
Once these pests find a foothold, they don’t stay confined to your lawn, as they make their way into your home, hitching rides on fur, shoes, and pant legs. A proactive approach is the only way to ensure your outdoor space stays safe and bite-free.
Many people don’t realize how serious the health risks are until it’s too late. Flea bites can lead to secondary infections, allergic reactions, and even transmit tapeworms. Ticks pose an even greater concern, with diseases that may go undetected for weeks, sometimes long enough to cause chronic joint pain, neurological symptoms, and long-term fatigue.
Even though chiggers aren’t disease carriers, their bites can become severely irritated, especially in children and people with sensitive skin. If left untreated, scratching can lead to infection and scarring. That’s why it’s important to treat these pests as more than just an annoyance; they’re a legitimate threat to your household's health.
We take a strategic, local-first approach to treating outdoor pests. Our technicians are trained to understand the pest patterns unique to Omaha and use targeted treatments that go beyond surface-level sprays. Rather than applying generic solutions across your entire lawn, we focus on the areas where pests live, breed, and travel like shady zones, mulch beds, pet areas, fence lines, and tall grass near tree lines.
We significantly reduce populations and prevent new infestations by applying long-lasting, professional-grade treatments in the right places at the right time,
When you hire Summit for flea, tick, and chigger control in Omaha, you’re getting a professional service that’s customized for your property.
1. On-Site Lawn Evaluation:
We start by walking your property to pinpoint pest-prone zones like long grass, mulch beds, tree lines, and spots frequented by pets.
2. Custom Treatment Plan:
Based on what we find, we design a treatment plan specific to your property’s layout, current pest activity, and seasonal timing.
3. Targeted Application:
Our technicians apply professional-grade insecticides to the most critical areas using calibrated equipment that ensures thorough and even coverage.
4. Ongoing Protection:
To keep your lawn pest-free throughout the warm season, we recommend a series of follow-up visits to break the breeding cycle and stop pests before they spread.
In Omaha, pest control is all about when you use it. Flea and tick activity rises rapidly as temperatures warm up in late April and peaks during the hot, humid summer months. By fall, many pests begin reproducing at higher rates, and missed infestations can linger well into October.
Chiggers are especially common during late spring and early summer when grass is thick and moist. Starting treatment early in the season gives you the upper hand. Our services are timed to target these pests during their vulnerable stages, when they’re immature and easier to control, so they don’t get a chance to overrun your yard.
Proper lawn care is one of the most effective ways to prevent fleas, ticks, and chiggers from taking over your yard. A well-maintained lawn discourages pest activity by reducing the shaded, humid environments where these insects thrive and limiting the presence of host animals like rodents. Dense, overgrown grass and neglected areas provide perfect hiding spots for these pests to lay eggs and wait for a host to pass by.
On the other hand, a healthy, tidy lawn allows for better sunlight penetration and air circulation, making it much harder for pests to survive. Routine maintenance not only improves the look and health of your lawn but also acts as a natural defense system against unwanted insects.
Key Lawn Care Methods for Pest Prevention:
It only takes a few tiny pests to turn your lawn into a source of stress. With our professional flea, tick, and chigger control for Omaha, you can get back to enjoying your yard without fear of unseen dangers lurking in the grass.
