Flea Control

Fleas are small parasites that feeds off the blood of humans and animals. These small creatures are often brought from an outdoor source or an infested animal. Their bites are not painful, but they do cause itchiness and irritation. Flea infestations are very common during sudden shifts in the weather. Because flea eggs can lay dormant for a year before hatching, a dry or wet spell can sometimes trigger old eggs in the area to begin hatching. Fleas are prolific breeders. They have a short life cycle that includes dropping many eggs in the places they infest. These eggs are easily embedded in furniture, carpets, baseboards, and bedding. Once a flea egg has been deposited, the larvae inside waits for a source of heat and movement before hatching and hopping over to the nearest host.
