Detailed Overview of Our Flea Treatment Service
Our flea treatment service is thorough and designed to eradicate fleas at every stage of their life cycle. We begin with a comprehensive inspection to assess the extent of the infestation and identify potential breeding grounds. Based on our findings, we develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Inspection and Assessment
We'll start with a full property assessment, checking for fleas in carpets, upholstery, pet bedding, and other potential hiding spots. This detailed inspection helps us understand the scope of the problem and identify the best treatment approach. If you are also facing issues with rodents, we can guide you to our rodent control service pages. Fleas are often brought inside by rodents.
Treatment Plan
Once we've completed the inspection, we'll create a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific situation. This plan may include a combination of methods, such as:
Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs)
These products disrupt the flea life cycle, preventing larvae from developing into adults.
Adulticides
These treatments target adult fleas, providing immediate relief from bites and discomfort.
Residual Treatments
These long-lasting treatments continue to kill fleas for weeks, preventing re-infestation.
Preventative Measures
In addition to treating existing infestations, we'll also provide you with tips on how to prevent future flea problems. This may include recommendations for vacuuming, laundering pet bedding, and treating your pets with flea control products. If you live nearby in Dearborn or even Hamtramck, we would proudly provide these services to you, too.
Common Problems Solved by Our Flea Treatment
Persistent Itching and Bites
Fleas are notorious for causing relentless itching in both humans and pets. This discomfort can lead to constant scratching, skin irritation, and even secondary infections. Our flea treatment eliminates the source of these bites, bringing immediate and lasting relief.
Flea Allergy Dermatitis in Pets
Many pets are allergic to flea saliva, resulting in Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD). This condition causes severe itching, redness, and hair loss. Our treatment helps to minimize flea populations, reducing the likelihood of FAD flare-ups in your beloved animals. If you have other pests such as ants, we can guide you to our ant control services.
Unexplained \Jumping\ Insects
Seeing small, dark insects jumping around your home is a clear sign of a flea infestation. These pests can quickly spread throughout your carpets, furniture, and bedding. Our comprehensive treatment targets fleas at all stages of their life cycle, effectively eradicating the infestation.
Tapeworm Transmission
Fleas can carry tapeworm larvae, which can be transmitted to pets when they ingest infected fleas. This can lead to intestinal issues and other health problems. By eliminating fleas, we help to protect your pets from this risk.
Anemia in Severe Infestations
In severe cases, flea infestations can cause anemia, especially in young or small animals. This occurs when fleas feed on the animal's blood, leading to a dangerous drop in red blood cell count. Our prompt and effective treatment can prevent this life-threatening condition.
Signs You Need Professional Flea Treatment
Excessive Scratching or Licking
If you notice your pet constantly scratching, biting, or licking themselves, it could be a sign of fleas. While there could be other causes of this behavior, fleas are a very high likelihood and it might time to call professionals to help with flea treatment. Check their fur for small, dark insects or flea dirt (flea feces).
Visible Fleas on Your Pet or in Your Home
Spotting fleas on your pet's fur or jumping around your carpets and furniture is a clear indication of an infestation. Fleas are small, dark, and move quickly, so they can be difficult to see. Look closely, especially in areas where your pet spends time.
Flea Dirt in Your Pet's Fur or on Bedding
Flea dirt looks like small, black specks. If you find these specks in your pet's fur or on their bedding, it's a good indication that fleas are present. To confirm, place the specks on a damp paper towel. If they turn reddish-brown, it's flea dirt (digested blood).
Bites on Your Ankles or Legs
Fleas often bite humans around the ankles and legs, causing small, itchy red bumps. If you notice these bites, especially after spending time in your home, it's likely that you have a flea infestation. Consider our other residential services, to protect your home.
Unexplained Skin Irritation
If you're experiencing unexplained skin irritation, itching, or a rash, it could be due to flea bites. Flea bites can cause a range of reactions, from mild irritation to severe allergic reactions. If the symptoms do not get any better, it's time to call in the experts.
Pets Suddenly Avoid Certain Areas
Pets will typically avoid areas where fleas are most concentrated. If you suddenly observe certain spots around your home that the dog or cat now avoids, it might be due to a flea infestation building up and causing them to flee.
Understanding Flea Behavior and Life Cycle
To effectively combat fleas, it's essential to understand their behavior and lifecycle. Fleas go through four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Adult fleas live on a host animal, feeding on blood and laying eggs. These eggs fall off the host and hatch into larvae, which feed on organic debris in the environment. The larvae then pupate, forming a cocoon. Adult fleas emerge from the cocoon when they detect a host nearby.
Our treatment targets fleas at all stages of their lifecycle, ensuring comprehensive elimination. We use insect growth regulators (IGRs) to disrupt larvae development, preventing them from becoming adults. We also use adulticides to kill adult fleas on contact and residual treatments to provide long-lasting protection. If you have other issues such as spiders, we can guide you to our spider removal page and if you have commercial buildings we can protect that, too.
Flea Eggs
Flea eggs are small, white, and oval-shaped. They're often laid on the host animal but can easily fall off and scatter throughout the environment. Flea eggs are not sticky and can easily be spread by movement, making it easy for them to infest new areas.
Flea Larvae
Flea larvae are small, worm-like creatures that feed on organic debris, such as flea dirt, dead insects, and plant matter. They thrive in dark, humid environments. Flea larvae are not parasitic and do not bite or feed on blood. In this stage they can cause allergic reactions and are definitely not a sign of a healthy premises.
Flea Pupae
Flea pupae are enclosed in a silk-like cocoon, which protects them from environmental hazards and insecticides. Pupae can remain dormant for months, waiting for the right conditions (warmth, humidity, vibrations) to emerge as adults. Because they're dormant, they can be very hard to spot.
Adult Fleas
Adult fleas are small, wingless insects with strong legs that allow them to jump long distances. They feed on blood and can cause intense itching and irritation. Adult fleas can live for several months, reproducing and infesting new areas. They latch onto the host and this entire cycle begins again.
