Fleas

It's Bugs Or Us.

What are fleas?

There are over 2,000 flea species in the United States, but the most common home-invading flea is the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis). These tiny parasites rely on the blood of animals, with a preference for animals over humans. Warm-blooded mammals like cats, dogs, humans, deer, and even pests like mice or rats are shared hosts for fleas. They enter homes when their hosts come inside. Flea infestations can quickly escalate, as female fleas can produce over a thousand eggs in their lifetime.

Are fleas dangerous?

While fleas primarily affect pets, they can also pose problems for humans. Flea bites can cause significant skin irritations, leading to potential infections if excessively scratched. Moreover, fleas are associated with the transmission of tapeworm, which can be a severe health concern for pets.

For effective flea control, trust a professional flea exterminator. Contact us to address your flea infestation and ensure a pest-free environment.

Why do I have a fleas problem?

Fleas are commonly associated with pet owners, but you can have a flea infestation even without pets. Other warm-blooded pests like mice, rats, squirrels, or raccoons can bring fleas into your home. If you're finding fleas on your property without any pets, it could indicate an existing pest problem.

Where will I find fleas?

Adult fleas usually stay on the host they feed on, preferring warm-blooded hosts like cats and dogs. Flea larvae and eggs, however, can be found in carpeting, bedding, or couch cushions, as they fall off the host and hatch to find their hosts.
