What it is?
Fleas are small, wingless parasites that feed on the blood of mammals and birds. They are commonly found in homes, particularly in carpeted areas, bedding, and furniture. Fleas are known to jump long distances, making it easy for them to move from one host to another.
What to be aware?
Flea bites can cause irritation, itching, and rashes on human skin. In some cases, people may be allergic to flea saliva, leading to more severe reactions. Household pets, such as dogs and cats, are also susceptible to flea infestations. Fleas can cause discomfort and itchiness for pets, and in extreme cases, they can transmit diseases such as tapeworms and flea-borne typhus.
Excluding them
As a pest control company, we use a combination of methods to eliminate flea infestations. In combination with having the host animal treated by a vet or groomer, we recommend vacuuming and cleaning the entire home thoroughly to remove eggs and larvae from carpets and upholstery. Additionally, insecticides will be used to target all remaining adult fleas and eggs.
Save your territory
Our goal is to not only eliminate the current infestation but also to prevent future infestations from occurring. We may provide guidance on preventive measures, such as regularly grooming pets, washing bedding and vacuuming frequently. With our effective pest control strategies, we can help you and your pets live flea-free.
