Identifying & Eliminating Flea & Mite Infestations in The Tri-Cities
The common biting pests affecting homes and pets in Johnson City, Bristol, and Kingsport—and how our local experts eliminate them.



In Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, and throughout Northeast Tennessee & SW Virginia, flea and mite problems often start with pets, wildlife activity, or nesting near the home. The reason DIY efforts fail is simple: you might kill what’s biting today, but eggs and immature stages keep hatching—and the problem “comes back” again and again.
Cat Fleas: The most common flea found in homes (even if you don’t own a cat). They reproduce fast and hide in carpets, cracks, and pet bedding, causing repeat bites if the full cycle isn’t treated.
Dog Fleas: Less common than cat fleas, but still possible—especially in homes with dogs that spend time outdoors or around other animals.
Bird Mites / Rodent Mites: Often triggered by nesting activity in attics, eaves, vents, or wall voids. Treatment must address both the mites and the source.
Clover Mites: Tiny mites that sometimes invade around windows and exterior walls. They can be a nuisance indoors and require a different control approach than biting pests.
At Pest Detectives Pest Control, we don’t just eliminate “bites”—we inspect to identify the pest, locate the source, and eliminate the infestation for complete control.

Comprehensive Inspection
Our technicians start with a detailed inspection of your Johnson City property. We confirm whether you’re dealing with fleas, mites, or both, identify hot zones (carpet edges, baseboards, pet bedding, furniture), and look for likely sources like pets or nesting activity.
Customized Treatment Plan
There is no one-size-fits-all solution. We create a tailored plan that targets the entire life cycle—including eggs and developing stages—so the problem doesn’t keep restarting.
Safe & Effective Application
We use professional-grade, targeted products applied with care to protect your family and pets. Treatments focus on where fleas and mites actually live and develop—not just open areas—so results last.
Prevention Recommendations
We provide clear guidance on vacuuming, laundering, pet bedding care, and steps to reduce re-introduction. If mites are tied to nesting or wildlife, we’ll explain the best next steps to solve the root cause.
Follow-Up
Because these pests have life cycles, follow-up may be recommended based on severity. We’ll explain timing and what to expect so your infestation is fully resolved.
