Sentinel GuardFlea & Tick Control in Raleigh Hills, OR
Raleigh Hills sits at the edge of Portland's west side, where established lots, tall hedges, and nearby greenways make it prime territory for fleas and ticks. Homes along Scholls Ferry Road and the streets winding toward the Tualatin Hills Natural Area often deal with recurring flea problems each summer, especially in households with indoor-outdoor cats or dogs that walk the neighborhood daily.
Because our winters rarely get cold enough to kill off flea populations, infestations here can persist year-round once they take hold indoors. Ticks are an increasing concern too — deer and small mammals moving through Washington County backyards carry them close to family pets. A localized treatment plan built for Raleigh Hills properties stops both pests before they reach your living room.
If your dog comes back from a walk at Raleigh Hills Park scratching, or you've spotted fleas hopping on your carpet, you're not alone — flea and tick problems spike every year in Raleigh Hills. Our mild Oregon climate and wooded residential lots give these pests exactly what they need to thrive from spring through late fall.
We provide targeted flea & tick control for Raleigh Hills homeowners, treating your home and yard so the problem ends at the source — not just the bites you can see. Most treatments are safe for kids and pets once dry.

Our Flea & Tick Treatment Process
- Inspection We check pets' resting areas, carpets, baseboards, and your yard to confirm the infestation level and find where fleas and ticks are breeding.
- Home treatment Interior applications target carpets, furniture, and cracks where flea eggs and larvae hide — the source of 90% of an infestation.
- Yard treatment We treat tick zones like tall grass, wooded edges, and along fences, plus shaded areas where flea larvae develop outdoors.
- Follow-up A second treatment after two weeks breaks the flea life cycle, catching newly hatched adults before they can reproduce again.
