Flea Control, Treatment, and Programs

Serving Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania

It is hard to imagine that something so small can be so painful. However, there is always a solution for your problem.

Fleas are one of the more important groups of insect pests because they not only cause pain by biting, but can transmit several diseases such as Bubonic Plague, murine typhus, and tapeworm to humans. There are different species such as the cat flea, dog flea, human flea, and rat flea that can be found throughout the United States.

It is not necessary to have pets in your home in order to have a flea infestation. Fleas can be present even if the home has been vacant of animals and people for as long as 6 months.

Fleas are normally found in the interior of the home through pet infestation. Fleas are typically found where animals sleep or frequent. Normally, larvae and pupae will be found in similar places but especially in areas with high moisture which is necessary for their survival. Such places include both indoor and outdoor environments. Fleas are also found on other hosts such as rabbits, skunks, opossums, rats, raccoons, and even birds.

Every case is different. Using a professional is the key to a successful treatment, that is why Expert Pest Management is here for you.

Evidence of Fleas

Normally, the first signs of a flea infestation appear as flea bites on pets and or people who live within the home. Although more annoying than anything, these bites can become irritated and swell, causing discomfort and itchiness to those bitten. Fleas can also be spotted jumping from surface to surface.

Warranty

**1 pet or less (indoor pets only)= your flea treatment offers a 3-month protection program. We do require that you wait a full three weeks for complete results. This provides ample time for the flea to complete its life cycle.

This program will not cover cockroaches, wood-boring, flying, pharaoh ants, or biting insects.

Tips For Flea Prevention

Vacuum regularly. Fleas avoid high traffic areas, so be sure to vacuum by baseboards, under furniture, under cushions, in pet beds, and where pets frequent. If you have hardwood flooring or tile, use a mild cleaner on all ground surfaces, making sure to get the entire surface area.
Keep your pet flea- free. Invest in a flea prevention for all of your pets.
Keeping your grass mowed and shrubs trimmed does make a difference when battling a flea infestation, this gives them less space to hide and populate.
Make sure to not invite other carriers of fleas into your yard. Raccoons, opossums, and feral dogs and cats are a sure way to become re-infested.
