How Does Pest Control Get Rid of Fleas?

Fleas are tiny, persistent pests that can quickly turn your home or garden into an uncomfortable environment. The common signs are bites which are often on the ankles but can be elsewhere. If you are noticing itchy bites or seeing these tiny insects on animals, yourself, or within the home, professional pest control can help you regain control. But how exactly do pest control experts like RS Pest Control get rid of a flea infestation? This guide will give you a detailed look at the process and technique involved.

Understanding the Flea Problem

A flea infestation is a problem for many reasons, they can trigger allergies in both humans and animals and can transfer onto clothes and furniture. If the infestation is not treated quickly, it can get out of control, and the fleas will breed and become hard to get rid of. Effective flea control means tackling every stage of the style to prevent re-infestation.

  • Step 1: Assessment and Identification
  • Step 2: Treatment Plan
  • Step 3: Cleaning and Vacuuming
  • Step 4: Outdoor Flea Control

Step 2: Treatment Plan

Based on the inspection, our team will develop a treatment plan including various methods to ensure the fleas are dealt with properly.

There are chemical treatments available – we may use professional-grade chemical treatments in the areas where fleas live and breed. These are stronger and longer-lasting than shop-bought products. Despite them being strong, they are safe for use around humans and pets.

We also use heat and steam treatments to eradicate the fleas, using superheat and moisture – this removes the fleas at every lifecycle.

Step 3: Cleaning and Vacuuming

Following your treatment, our team advises you to deep clean your home. This includes vacuuming carpets, floors, and furniture to remove the remaining eggs, larvae, and fleas. Any pet bedding, clothes, or rugs should be cleaned to prevent fleas from infesting your home again.

Step 4: Outdoor Flea Control

As fleas come in from the outdoors, especially if you have pets, gardens should be maintained. Controlling overgrowth in the garden and ensuring your pets are kept trimmed and brushed can ensure fleas do not enter your property.
