Flea Control and Prevention Services
At TDS Pest Control, we understand how disruptive and unpleasant a flea infestation can be. Fleas not only cause discomfort for pets and people but can also lead to allergic reactions and health concerns. Our expert team is here to provide fast and effective flea control solutions, ensuring your home or business is flea-free and comfortable.
Why Flea Control Is Important
- Health Risks: Fleas can carry diseases and cause allergic reactions in humans and pets.
- Rapid Reproduction: Fleas multiply quickly, making infestations harder to control over time.
- Discomfort: Flea bites are itchy and irritating, affecting the well-being of your family and pets.
- Pet Health: Fleas can cause anemia, tapeworm infections, and severe discomfort in pets.
Understanding Fleas
- Appearance: Fleas are tiny, wingless insects, about 2–3 mm long, with a dark brown or reddish-brown color. Their bodies are flat and built for jumping.
- Behavior: Fleas thrive in warm, humid environments and feed on the blood of animals or humans.
- Lifecycle: Fleas go through four stages—egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Adult fleas can lay up to 50 eggs per day, which quickly leads to an infestation.
- Common Hosts: Fleas often hitch a ride on pets such as dogs and cats, but they can also infest carpets, furniture, and bedding.
Signs of a Flea Infestation
Detecting fleas early can prevent a small problem from becoming a major infestation. Look for these signs:
- Excessive Scratching: Pets scratching, biting, or licking themselves more than usual.
- Flea Dirt: Tiny black specks on pet fur, bedding, or carpets (flea feces).
- Bites on Humans: Small, red, itchy bumps, often found on ankles and legs.
- Fleas on Pets: Visible fleas on your pet’s fur, especially around the neck or tail.
- Fleas in Carpets or Furniture: Adult fleas jumping when you walk across carpets or disturb furniture.
Preventing Flea Infestations
Keep fleas at bay with these preventive measures:
- Regular Pet Care: Use veterinarian-recommended flea treatments on your pets.
- Vacuum Frequently: Vacuum carpets, rugs, and furniture regularly, especially in areas your pets frequent.
- Wash Bedding: Clean pet bedding, blankets, and any removable upholstery in hot water.
- Maintain Outdoor Spaces: Keep your garden tidy by mowing grass and removing debris to reduce flea breeding grounds.
- Inspect New Items: Check second-hand furniture or pet bedding for fleas before bringing them into your home.
