Warning Signs

Signs You Have a Flea Problem.

Pets Scratching Excessively
Constant scratching, biting, or grooming — especially around the base of the tail, belly, and neck.

Flea Dirt

Tiny dark specks in pet bedding or on your pet's skin — flea excrement confirming active flea presence

Visible Fleas
Tiny dark jumping insects on pets, on carpets, or on your socks after walking across the floor.

Bites on Ankles

Small red itchy bites in clusters on your ankles and lower legs — fleas jump from floor level to reach humans

Flea Eggs

Tiny white oval eggs in pet sleeping areas — smaller and lighter than flea dirt, found alongside it.

Restless Pets

Restlessness or unusual agitation in pets can indicate flea discomfort before other visible signs appear.

Common Questions

Flea & Tick Treatment

FAQs.

How do I know if I have fleas?

Walk across carpet in white socks — tiny dark specks jumping onto your socks confirm fleas. Also watch for pets scratching excessively, flea dirt (dark specks) in pet bedding, and small itchy bites on your ankles and lower legs.

How do you treat for fleas?

EPA-registered adulticide plus insect growth regulator (IGR) applied to all floor surfaces, carpeting, pet areas, and furniture bases. The IGR prevents eggs and larvae from developing — critical for breaking the life cycle. Plus exterior treatment where pets spend time.

Do I need to prepare my home?

Yes. Vacuum all carpets and floors, wash all pet bedding, and have all people and pets out for at least 3 to 4 hours after treatment. We provide a complete preparation checklist when you schedule.

How long does elimination take?

Initial treatment kills most adult fleas within 24 to 48 hours. Activity for 2 to 3 more weeks as hatching adults contact residual is normal. A follow-up visit within 2 weeks addresses any persistent activity.

My pet was treated but I still have fleas — why?

Pet treatment only addresses fleas on the animal. For every flea on your pet there are approximately 100 more in various life stages in your home environment. Professional home treatment breaks the full life cycle.
