Flea Control

Fleas are a common household pest that can cause significant discomfort and health risks to both humans and pets. If you suspect a flea infestation in your Arizona home, it’s crucial to seek professional assistance from a licensed flea exterminator.

Signs of a Flea Infestation

• Bites on humans or pets, typically in clusters or lines
• Excessive scratching or itching in pets
• Black specks or flea feces, on pets or in bedding
• Visible fleas on pets or furniture

Dangers of a Flea Infestation

Fleas along with bites from fleas, can cause allergic reactions, skin irritations and create restlessness in humans. In some serious instances, they can transmit diseases such as typhus, plague, and tapeworms. For pets, fleas can lead to anemia, skin infections, and even death if left untreated.

Hiring a professional flea exterminator is the most effective way to eliminate an infestation completely. Qualified exterminators will:

• Thoroughly inspect your home for flea activity and identify the source of infestation
• Apply targeted treatments, such as insecticides and repellents that will not only eradicate fleas, but also prevent re-infestation
• Offer guidance on preventive measures to prevent future infestations
