Fleas are some of the worst nuisances in the insect world. They create an allergic reaction that makes pets and people itch. Even just writing about them can make a person feel itchy! That’s how insidious fleas can be. But the good news is that fleas are not terribly difficult to get rid of. They just require a bit of flea prevention or a bit of treatment when it comes to flea removal.
The cat flea is the most common type of flea you and your pets will come into contact with. This is the classic type of flea that we think of animals getting, and they’re often picked up from other wildlife that’s passed through recently – raccoons, opossums, and rodents. This is an especially good reason to be serious about rodent removal and nuisance animal removal if you’ve got bigger pests. Despite the name, fleas on a dog will also usually be cat fleas.
The allergic reaction you get to a flea is called a dermatitis. It doesn’t become painful, but it can cause compulsive scratching and picking because of the skin irritation and itching.
For the treatment to have the best effect, we’ll show you how to prepare your home. After all, fleas don’t just stay on you. If you or your pets have them, they will most likely end up in your carpets and furniture as well. We’ll help you prepare your home to get the best benefit of treatment.
We can also help you coordinate flea removal with your veterinarian or a pet groomer so that you can get it all done quickly.
Beware of DIY kits. They don’t kill the eggs or pupae of fleas, meaning they are at best a temporary relief. They’ll kill adult fleas, but after the eggs hatch you’ll find yourself suffering the same flea problem you started with. Flea pest control and flea removal doesn’t have to be a hassle if you coordinate it with us.
