Understanding Our Flea Removal Process
The first step in effective flea control is to identify the problem and locate where fleas are congregating. Once we inspect your home and determine the extent of the flea issue, we provide a comprehensive flea treatment.
This treatment includes addressing both the interior and exterior of your home. For the outside of your home, we concentrate on areas that are conducive to flea infestations. In most locations, we use a granular flea control product, while some areas may require a liquid treatment.
A growth regulating hormone is applied to prevent the development of immature fleas, which helps control the population. We treat:
- Carpeted areas
- Rugs
- Around furniture
- Baseboards
- Any other areas fleas can be found
Helpful facts about fleas:
- Their eggs are about a half millimeter in length and a pearly white color
- Females lay an egg every hour for their entire life
- Larvae feed on “flea dust,” which is adult flea fecal droppings
- Fleas remain in the pupa stage until stimulated by movement or vibration
- Fleas typically remain on their host for life
- They can jump about seven inches high
