Fleas

 

 

 

Fleas are a pest you will find indoors and out in your yard. They hop on and hitch a ride feeding on the blood of your pet. Once fed, the flea will lay hundreds of eggs (50 per day) which fall off everywhere your pet goes. The egg will hatch into a larvae then go through the pupa stage, the only stage they are fully protected from the effects of pesticides. The pupa will remain until you or your pet walk by and stimulate the flea to hatch. This is why when you go on vacation and your animal is removed from the home, when you get back hundreds of fleas hop all over you when you return.

Frequent vacuuming will help physically remove these pests and can prevent a full-blown infestation. Check with your veterinarian to see what they recommend for protecting your pet. We will provide you with treatment (pre & post) instructions to ensure our success. After treatment you will see fleas due to the hatching pupa, but the cycle will be unable to continue. Did you make it through this without itching? Call if you would like additional information or a free estimate 1-800-649-9992.
