The short answer
How do I know if my house has fleas or ticks?
Flea and tick inspection connects the property evidence with the places people and pets use. At an Austin home, pet bedding, floors, upholstery, shaded outdoor shelter, and yard edges can call for different preparation and treatment choices. Tell the office which areas are involved and what has already been cleaned or treated. Bugged assesses the property; questions about treating an animal belong with its veterinarian. Follow the written access, cleaning, and re-entry directions instead of assuming a single application covers every life stage or introduction. Continuing activity should be documented for review. The recurring plan and written estimate confirm included work and any follow-up appropriate to the findings.
- Pets scratching, flea dirt, or small jumping insects around resting areas
- Bites around ankles or activity emerging from rugs, cracks, or upholstered furniture
- Ticks found on people or pets after using brushy yard edges
Inspection first
What does a flea and tick inspection cover?
Every visit starts with the property, not the product. This is what the technician checks before recommending anything.
Checked 01
Pet sleeping zones, floors, furniture, shaded yard areas, and wildlife access
Checked 02
Life-stage evidence, recent vacancy, pet treatment status, and high-contact edges
Inspection to treatment
How does Bugged treat fleas and ticks?
Treatment selection follows the inspection, the written scope, and the applicable product label.
Step 02
Treat to the finding
Use cleaning, laundering, monitoring, and targeted label-approved applications by habitat
Step 03
Document and follow through
Reassess after immature stages have had time to emerge instead of promising instant completion
Scope before promises.
Bugged does not diagnose or treat animals. Veterinary care and consistent pet protection are essential; property treatment alone may not resolve ongoing introductions.
Before Bugged arrives
- Ask a veterinarian about species-appropriate pet prevention
- Wash pet bedding and vacuum floors, edges, and furniture as directed
- Keep pets away from treated areas for the label-specified interval
What it costs
How much does flea treatment cost in Austin?
Flea and tick service is available on every recurring HiveGuard plan. An established indoor infestation usually needs an initial treatment plus a timed follow-up, and that is scoped at the inspection. Veterinary products for the pet itself are your veterinarian's call, not ours, and are not part of the estimate.
The initial-service fee is confirmed in your written quote. Payment authorization is collected at signup; the initial-service fee and first monthly payment are charged after initial service completion, plus applicable tax.

Good to know
What Austin homeowners ask about fleas and ticks.
Straight answers. If yours is not here, call (737) 247-7143 or text us and ask a human.
Can the same visit treat my home and my pet?
Bugged evaluates the property. Questions about treating an animal belong with its veterinarian. Tell the team which rooms and outdoor areas pets use so property preparation and treatment directions account for them.
Why does flea or tick activity sometimes continue?
Life stages and shelter can require follow-through beyond a single application. Follow the written cleaning, access, and monitoring instructions and report where activity remains; the service scope determines any follow-up.
Why am I still seeing fleas after treatment?
Immature fleas can remain protected in the environment and emerge later. Vacuuming, pet treatment, targeted control, and scheduled follow-up address different life stages.
Can the same product be used on my pet and my home?
Never assume that. Animal products must be chosen with a veterinarian and used exactly as labeled. Property products are not applied to pets.
