A flea infestation isn’t something to chuckle about. While most people think of fleas as a problem for their dogs, they can also be a major inconvenience for humans. Fleas can be difficult to get rid of unless you hire a professional flea exterminator.

Fleas are tiny blood-sucking insects. They lack wings and are unable to fly, but they reproduce. They can feed on dogs and cats. They deposit eggs beneath their coats and cause major problems.

The first place you should look for fleas is on your pets. Even if your pets have been flea-treated, a flea or two may have utilized them to gain access to your home. Fleas can move in and find a pleasant home when you pet your animals or let them jump into your bed. They can even live in your carpet, where the soft fibers provide an ideal hiding place.

If treating your pets for fleas hasn’t solved the problem, it’s time to hire a flea exterminator. If you have a flea infestation, it might take a long time for them to die off. It can be especially harmful if you are allergic.

At South West Termite And Pest control, we recommend moving as much furniture as possible before spraying the entire house. The insect growth repellant, or IGR, is intended to prevent further eggs from hatching in the carpet or fabric. You will need to leave the house for several hours after these treatments to give them time to work. For a period of time, the active components will continue to repel any new fleas that enter the house, disrupting the cycle.
