Sentinel GuardFlea & Tick Control in Durham, OR
Durham may be one of the smallest cities in Washington County, but its mix of dense residential neighborhoods and green corridors along Fanno Creek makes it prime territory for fleas and ticks. Shaded backyards, mature landscaping, and the wildlife that travels through the Tualatin Valley — including deer, raccoons, and rodents — all contribute to populations that flourish in our mild, often damp climate. If your pets come inside itchy after time in the yard, you're already seeing the problem take hold.
Our flea and tick control service for Durham homes targets the specific conditions here: treated fence lines, lawn edges, and creek-adjacent properties where ticks quest for hosts and flea larvae develop in protected soil. Whether you live near Durham City Park or tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac off Durham Road, we'll build a treatment plan around your yard and keep it protected through the seasons when these pests are at their worst.
If your pets are scratching constantly or you've found a tick after a walk near Fanno Creek, you're not alone — Durham's mild, damp climate is ideal for fleas and ticks year-round. These pests don't just make pets miserable; they can infest carpets and bedding and transmit disease to your family.
Our local flea and tick control service treats your yard and home with targeted, pet-conscious products that break the pest life cycle. Serving homeowners throughout Durham and the surrounding Tualatin Valley, we make it easy to take your yard back.

How Our Flea & Tick Treatment Works
- Yard inspection We inspect your property, identifying hot spots like shaded garden beds, tall grass along fences, pet resting areas, and wildlife travel paths near creek-side greenways.
- Targeted treatment Using pet-conscious products, we treat lawns, perimeter vegetation, and shady zones where flea larvae develop and ticks wait for hosts — focusing on the spots that matter most.
- Indoor follow-up If fleas have moved indoors, we treat carpets, pet bedding, and crevices where eggs and larvae hide, and advise on washing pet bedding to complete the knockdown.
- Ongoing protection We return on a seasonal schedule timed to Washington County's pest pressure, keeping flea and tick populations suppressed from spring through the wet fall months.
