Fast, dark, laterally flattened insects that jump — usually noticed on a pet, on ankles, or in carpet.
Peak months: May, June, July, August, September, October.
Treating the home without treating the animal does not work. We will tell you plainly if the pet needs to be handled first.
Carpets, upholstery edges, pet resting areas and floor cracks, with growth regulators that stop the next generation.
Shaded, protected areas — under decks, in crawl spaces and along fence lines — where the population survives outdoors.
A vacuum schedule that mechanically removes eggs and triggers pupae to emerge into treated areas.
None of this replaces treatment, but all of it makes treatment hold longer. Most of it costs nothing.
That is the pupal stage hatching. Pupae are protected inside a cocoon and are not affected by most treatments, so a second wave is expected — and is exactly why the vacuum schedule and follow-up matter.
Usually a raccoon, opossum or rodent under the house or in the attic. We look for the wildlife source rather than treating the symptom repeatedly.
Tell us what you have seen and we will confirm whether it is fleas — and what it takes to keep it gone.
