Fleas Control
Siphonaptera
Fleas are tiny, wingless parasites that survive by feeding on the blood of warm-blooded hosts, including pets and humans.
How to Identify Fleas
Proper identification is the first step in effective pest control. Fleas have distinct physical characteristics and behaviors that help distinguish them from other common household pests. Look for these key identifiers:
- Very small (1/12 to 1/6 inch long)
- Dark reddish-brown color
- Flat bodies (side-to-side)
- Incredible jumping ability
Are Fleas Dangerous?
Flea bites cause itchy, red bumps. They can transmit diseases like murine typhus and tapeworms to pets. Severe infestations can cause anemia in small animals.
Why Do I Have Fleas?
Fleas are most commonly brought into homes by pets that have been outdoors or exposed to infested animals. Wild animals like raccoons or opossums can also introduce them to yards.
How to Prevent Fleas
While professional treatment is often necessary for an active infestation, you can take proactive steps to make your property less attractive to Fleas:
