What do fleas look like?

Fleas are tiny infamous pests that can make your home an itchy nightmare. Typically attaching themselves to your pets, fleas often go unseen and can spread rapidly. Fleas can live in and on not only pets, but furniture, carpets, and even people.

Treatment

How we treat fleas

When facing fleas, there are various things both you and our pest experts can do to treat them and prevent them from coming back.

To prepare for your treatment, wash rugs and your pet’s bedding. Vacuum all carpets, furniture, and bedding thoroughly. Our service pros will then treat any infested areas with our insect spray. Afterward, homeowners should continue vacuuming for several more days after treatment. We’ll also treat any outdoor areas where your pet resides, like kennels, doghouses, or next to your home’s foundation. You can also use a spot-on or system oral treatment for your furry friend that your vet can provide.

Our pest experts take a tailored approach when treating your property and work to ensure that your concerns are addressed and your home is protected, inside and out. We’re dedicated to providing you with peace of mind and making sure you enjoy your home.
