Effective Flea Control in Queen Creek AZ
Fleas are small insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals for sustenance. Their bites can cause discomfort, irritation, and itchiness, plus they can transfer germs that cause plague, cat scratch disease and flea-borne typhus. Pets often bring fleas into the home on their bodies, which can then lead to an infestation in your bedding, furniture, and carpeting.
It’s very hard to get rid of fleas on your own. First off, they are prolific breeders. Second, many people only treat their dogs for fleas and neglect to implement a solution to treat the pupae, larva, and eggs that have spread throughout the entire home.
That’s why you should call All Clear Pest Control at the first sign of infestation. Our professionals will assess the severity of the infestation, then recommend a customized extermination plan that fits your needs.
Facts About Fleas
Indoors, it’s tough to spot hornet nests, and it’s even more challenging to tell if they’re active. If not handled quickly, they can grow in size very rapidly and pose a danger to your family. Here are some common signs you may have a hornet infestation in your home.
- Fleas are active in spring, summer and fall in Arizona.
- Fleas can jump but they do not fly because they don’t have wings.
- They have rigid comb-like hairs that make it easy to stay attached to the bodies of animals and humans.
- In addition to carrying disease-causing pathogens to humans, fleas are also direct disease vectors, which means that their bites can transmit pathogenic microbes into the bloodstream.
- They will lay their eggs onto animal and human hosts, but those eggs will slide off eventually, landing on nearby surroundings.
- Once they turn into larvae, fleas stay hidden within cracks, furniture and bedding.
- There are more than 2,000 flea species around the world, and 300 in the U.S.
- The cat flea is the most common species.
- Fleas tend to reproduce faster in warmer climates than colder ones.
- The lifespan of a flea is two months up to a year.
- Outdoors, they prefer to hide in moist, shaded places in soil, usually under bushes. Indoors, they hang out in pet beds, carpets, human bedding, and furniture.
- Fleas feed on 10-15 blood meals a day.
- The itchy sensation after a bite is caused by chemicals in flea saliva that trigger an immune response.
What To Do If You Have Fleas?
So what can you do if you have fleas? First, vacuum all pet bedding, carpets, floors and furniture every day for many weeks, tossing the vacuum cleaner bag after every cleaning. Get oral insecticides for your dog at the vet. Bathe your pet with soap and water, combing their fur with a flea comb. And most importantly, get professional help from a trusted flea control technician. Their treatments are key in getting to the source of the flea infestation.
