Sentinel GuardFlea & Tick Control Tailored to North Plains, OR
North Plains sits right where Washington County's farmland meets the Portland metro, and that blend of country and suburb creates ideal conditions for fleas and ticks. Properties backing up to fields, the hills toward Dairy Creek, or tree-lined lots off Main Street often see ticks travel in on deer and rodents, while fleas flourish in the damp, shaded ground our mild winters never fully freeze. If your dog comes inside with ticks after a walk near Bernie Fleck Park or your cat won't stop scratching, the problem isn't just on the pet — it's in your yard.
That's why our flea and tick control service for North Plains treats the whole property, not just the animal. We apply targeted treatments to lawns, fence lines, and shaded beds where pests breed, then follow up with recommendations on mowing height, debris removal, and timing that fits our local climate. Whether you're on a small lot in town or acreage out toward Glencoe Road, we'll build a plan that keeps fleas and ticks off your family all season long.
Living in North Plains means enjoying the best of Oregon's countryside — open fields, wooded trails, and plenty of room for pets to roam. Unfortunately, those same conditions make flea and tick problems a yearly battle for local homeowners. When your dog picks up ticks on a walk near the Fern Hill Wetlands or fleas hitch a ride indoors, it doesn't take long for an infestation to take hold.
Our flea and tick control service is built for the North Plains climate, where mild, damp springs and warm summers keep these pests active from early spring well into fall. We treat your yard and home together so you can enjoy your property without worrying about bites, itching, or tick-borne illness.

How Our Flea & Tick Treatment Works
- Inspect We inspect your yard, home perimeter, and pet-frequented areas to identify flea and tick hot spots, moisture issues, and wildlife pathways that bring pests onto your property.
- Treat We apply targeted treatments to lawns, shaded beds, fence lines, and the home's foundation, focusing on the areas where fleas and ticks lay eggs and wait for hosts.
- Treat indoors Indoor treatments address fleas already inside, treating carpets, pet bedding areas, and furniture crevices to break the life cycle at every stage, from egg to adult.
- Maintain We schedule seasonal follow-up visits timed to North Plains' pest season, reapplying treatments so protection holds from spring through the first hard frost.
