Fleas are a persistent threat and can make life miserable for pets and pet owners alike. They spread disease, feed on blood and are notoriously difficult to get rid of as they have four developmental stages. Each stage requires a determined effort to target and eradicate.

 

Flea control and flea extermination require pest control technicians and clients to take a comprehensive approach to prevent infestations. This may include:

 

• A thorough site inspection and development of a flea control plan

• Insecticides developed specifically for fleas, which include growth regulators to disrupt the egg/larva/pupa/adult life cycle

• If pets are present, weekly baths and frequent brushing to remove fleas, eggs, larvae and pupa from the pet

• Daily vacuuming of carpeting and furniture with extra attention to pet bedding and pets’ favorite spots
