I spoke with Brendan after he finish the application on our yard. He explained to me about the weeds at the crib of our driveway. Also ask him about insects such as fleas and ticks in our yard, which we are not having problems with, however with 2 pups I want to ensure they are not being infested with them. Brendan took the time to answer all of my questions.

We were having some issues with bugs, so Ike applied some pest control to our roses as well as some shrubs and trees. He was very good at communicating with me about the process. I have been very impressed with the customer service I have received from everyone at Summit Lawns.

At Summit Lawns, we understand that your yard is a living space where your family plays, your pets roam, and your guests gather. Unfortunately, when pests like fleas, ticks, and chiggers invade your lawn, that peaceful retreat quickly becomes a hazardous zone. These tiny parasites aren’t just annoying; they’re capable of spreading serious diseases to people and pets alike.
That’s why Summit Lawns offers comprehensive flea, tick, and chigger control services across Nebraska. Our local expertise, proven treatments, and commitment to customer satisfaction ensure your yard remains a safe, enjoyable space all season long.

Our mission is simple: to make your lawn a place you love, without the risk of bites, disease, or discomfort. Summit Lawns is committed to:
While fleas, ticks, and chiggers all thrive in warm, grassy environments and feed on blood or skin cells, each pest has unique habits and pose different dangers. Knowing the differences is an important step in protecting your family and home against these pests.
Fleas are small, wingless insects known for their ability to jump long distances. They are commonly found in shaded, moist areas of the lawn and can hitch rides into your home on pets or shoes. Fleas reproduce rapidly, with a single female capable of laying up to 50 eggs per day. Flea bites cause itching and allergic reactions in both humans and animals, and they can transmit tapeworms and bacterial infections like cat scratch fever.
Ticks are arachnids, not insects, and unlike fleas, they cannot jump. Instead, they wait on the tips of grasses or shrubs and latch onto hosts that brush by. Ticks are a serious health concern because they can transmit Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, ehrlichiosis, and other dangerous pathogens to both people and pets. In Nebraska, common species include the American dog tick, black-legged tick (deer tick), and lone star tick.
Chiggers are the larvae of mites, almost microscopic in size, and notorious for the intense itching bites they cause. They prefer overgrown or undisturbed grassy areas and latch onto skin, feeding on cells near hair follicles. Unlike fleas or ticks, chiggers don’t transmit diseases in the U.S., but their bites can cause severe itching, welts, and even secondary infections from scratching.
Most people associate these pests with minor annoyances like itchy bites, some scratching, and the occasional pet discomfort, but the reality is far more serious. Fleas, ticks, and chiggers can pose significant health risks that no homeowner should ignore.
What’s more, these pests don’t stay outside. Fleas and ticks can easily enter your home via pets, clothing, or even pant legs, turning your entire living space into a pest haven. Preventing this starts in the lawn, and that's exactly where we come in.

DIY sprays and off-the-shelf solutions often offer short-lived results and fail to address the deeper infestation. Fleas can survive in different life stages across your lawn and home. Ticks are resilient and may hide in uncut grass, leaf litter, and even cracks in fences. Chiggers thrive in thick, unmanaged turf or shady ground covers. A few missed areas mean the problem will come back, sometimes worse than before.
At Summit Lawns, we don’t just spray and hope for the best. Our professional pest control service is built on a thorough understanding of insect behavior, local environmental conditions, and integrated treatment strategies.
