Keeping Fleas Out Of Your Fort Myers Home
Fleas are one of the most common and most annoying pests in the United States. As parasitic insects, fleas require warm-blooded hosts to survive, which puts any inhabited home at risk of a flea infestation. Although fleas may appear more frequently in homes with pets, they can just as easily invade a pet-free home, making the people inside their sole food source.
Because the flea life cycle can occur in as little as two weeks or take as long as several months, depending on the conditions in which they find themselves, it’s easy to see how an infestation can be difficult to fully eliminate. Simply washing your clothing and linens, vacuuming your rugs, and hoping for the best is unlikely to rid your house of every adult, larvae, and egg. If even one flea or egg is left behind, you will likely see a recurrence in the coming months. Instead, if you want to get rid of fleas entirely from your Fort Myers home, you need professional home pest control treatments from Stat Pest Control.
Flea Control From Stat Pest Control
If you suspect fleas have gotten into your Fort Myers home, it helps to know what signs to look for.
- Often the first sign of fleas people notice is bites on legs or other areas of the body. Flea bites appear as red, itchy bumps. While most people have a normal reaction to these bites, some people can have an allergic reaction to flea bites.
- If you have pets and notice them scratching themselves more than usual, it can signal a flea infestation.
- Finding pepper-like specks in pet beds, your bed, carpets, and other areas can signify a flea infestation.
- Finally, finding fleas themselves is a solid sign of a flea infestation.
If you have any of these signs in your home, contact Stat Pest Control. We will schedule a time to visit your home and perform an initial flea treatment. For our flea control service, we require no inspection. We’ll begin on the exterior of your house to provide flea control for the yard and treat areas where fleas are likely to be. This treatment includes bushes, trees, and your lawn, which we will treat using a backpack blower.
Our exterior flea control treatments are a year-round service. Fleas most often get into homes from the outside, so keeping your property free of fleas is the best way to avoid having them get into your house. Regular flea treatments allow you to rest easy, knowing that your yard is not where you, your family, or your pets will pick up fleas while spending time outside.
We also offer interior flea treatments. Before our treatment, we’ll provide you with a prep sheet that lists what you need to do to prepare for our treatment. When we arrive for our service, we’ll treat floors, furniture, and other areas based on the severity of your infestation.
Our interior service includes a follow-up visit one week after the initial service. This visit allows us to determine how effective the initial treatment was and if an additional treatment is needed or not.
