Identifying Flea Hiding Spots in Your Home
Inside the house, fleas are often found in carpeted areas and near animal bedding, furniture, and baseboards. Outside the house, they are typically found in crawlspaces, under decks, in mulch, or in shaded areas.

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
Preventing Future Flea Infestations
Once we’ve eliminated the current flea infestation in your home and yard, it’s important to take steps to prevent future infestations. Our Simpsonville flea control experts can provide you with tips and recommendations to keep fleas at bay and maintain a flea-free environment.
Some preventative measures include:
- Regularly vacuuming carpets, rugs, and upholstery
- Washing pet bedding and grooming pets regularly
- Using flea prevention products on pets
- Regularly treating outdoor areas where pets spend time
- Sealing cracks and crevices where fleas can enter the home
By following these preventative measures, you can help ensure that your home remains free from fleas and your pets stay happy and healthy.
