Fleas carry disease and need to be treated by chemical application.
Our technicians are experienced in locating areas where fleas prefer to breed and breaking their life cycle, with minimal exposure of insecticides to your family. The chemicals we use have a very low mammalian toxicity for maximum result with minimal risks.
Notes:
- Vacuum all areas inside, clean pet bedding etc, before treatment to remove as many eggs as possible and dispose of vacuum bag
- Mow lawn if the yard is to be treated
- If pets like to stay in the sub floor of your home, block their access to these areas to prevent further breeding in this area
There are over 2000 species of flea, with the most common being the cat flea (found on both dogs and cats).
Flea populations build rapidly. In her life time, the female lays hundreds of eggs, which can either remain in their pupa stage for up to a year, or hatch if the environment suits, usually between 2-14 days. High humidity and vibrations stimulate hatching of the larva. Fleas bite humans when they require a blood meal (and a dog or cat is not available) so they are able to produce more eggs and continue the life cycle.
Any parasite exposes humans and animals to serious health risks, fleas carry many diseases such as the bubonic plague due to the fact they also bite rats and should be treated as soon as possible. Animals will also need to be treated to coincide with our treatment, please contact your veterinarian for advice on pet treatment.
