How Flea Extermination Works
Effective flea control often requires treating the areas where fleas, eggs, larvae, and pets are most likely to be active.
Inspect
We identify the areas where flea activity is most likely occurring, including pet resting areas, flooring, furniture, and exterior spots.
Prepare
Vacuuming, washing pet bedding, and treating pets through a veterinarian can help improve the overall treatment results.
Treat
Our technicians apply targeted treatments to indoor and outdoor areas where fleas are most likely to live and reproduce.
Prevent
Follow-up prevention steps help reduce the chance that fleas return after the initial infestation is controlled.
Risks of Fleas
Flea bites can result in red spots surrounded by reddened haloes and are often extremely itchy, causing discomfort. If your pets bring fleas into your home, these pests can then transfer to your beds and furniture.
Rapid Reproduction
Flea eggs can spread swiftly, with fleas laying up to 50 eggs per day on your pets.
Pet Discomfort
Pets may scratch excessively, develop irritated skin, or show signs of discomfort when fleas are present.
Indoor Spread
Eggs can fall into carpets, upholstered furniture, bedding, and areas where pets rest.
Ongoing Bites
Fleas feed on warm-blooded animals and may bite people and pets until the infestation is controlled.
Signs of Fleas and Ways to Help Prevent Them
Signs of Fleas
- Adult fleas: Tiny dot-like bugs hidden in the hind legs, head, or neck of your pet.
- Odd pet behavior: Excessive scratching, reddened skin, hair loss, pale gums, and bumps.
- Flea dirt: Appears similar to coarse black pepper.
- Flea larvae or eggs: Larvae are tiny white worms about 2-5 mm long with pale hairs covering their bodies.
How to Prevent Fleas
- Take your pets to the veterinarian and utilize flea control products to keep them flea-free.
- Keep wildlife out of your yard, as they can bring fleas and deposit flea eggs and larvae.
- Wash bedding frequently and run your pet’s bedding, laundry, and sheets through a hot wash.
- Vacuum thoroughly, including upholstery, and carefully dispose of vacuum bags.
Indoor and Outdoor Flea Treatment
Fleas can live in multiple areas around a property, so professional flea control often includes both indoor and outdoor treatment considerations.
Indoor Flea Treatment
Fleas can infest carpets, furniture, and even high places like cabinets and bookshelves. Prime Pest Solutions' technicians will target these areas to provide a comprehensive solution to your flea problem. Fleas can end up in various places in your home when their eggs fall off pets that rest there. Cleaning carpets to remove flea droppings and vacuuming before service can enhance the effectiveness of the pesticide.
Outdoor Flea Treatment
Fleas can also inhabit areas under porches or decks, crawl spaces, and bushes and grass in your yard. Outdoor solutions include spraying bedding areas and spots where pets spend most of their time.
Flea Control Questions
Why are fleas hard to eliminate?
Fleas reproduce quickly and can spread eggs into carpets, furniture, bedding, and pet resting areas. Treating only one area may not resolve the full infestation.
Do I need indoor and outdoor flea treatment?
Many flea infestations require both indoor and outdoor attention because fleas can live in carpets, furniture, crawl spaces, under decks, and shaded areas where pets spend time.
Should I treat my pets too?
Yes. A veterinarian-recommended flea treatment for pets is an important part of controlling fleas and reducing the chance of reinfestation.
What should I do before flea service?
Vacuuming carpets and upholstery, washing pet bedding, and reducing clutter can help improve treatment effectiveness and remove some eggs, larvae, and flea dirt before service.
