Flea Exterminators – Control – Removal
Serving North Bay and East Bay Areas
Fleas are a dreaded pest in any household. Homes with pets are especially vulnerable to flea infestations, especially when your cats or dogs spend time outdoors. Getting rid of fleas in your home by yourself is not an easy task, which is why it’s important to enlist the help of a flea removal professional. If you notice signs of fleas inside your home, it’s best to call professional flea exterminators before the infestation spreads.
Is Flea Removal Service Necessary?
Fleas can enter the home by attaching to an animal outside. Because they feed on blood from their host, they can easily move on to other suitable hosts inside the household. Aside from the fact that fleas are a nuisance, they can also be dangerous for your family and pets. Flea bites can cause swollen, itchy marks on the host, allergic reactions, and can occasionally transmit diseases or internal parasites to people and pets.
Even if you don’t own a pet, flea infestations can also occur in residential yards where wildlife populations are dense. Most commonly, raccoons, opossums, deer, cattle, coyotes, foxes, bobcats, and skunks will carry fleas, bringing flea eggs and larvae into your yard. Once fleas have infested your home, they can spread quickly to your bedding, pet items, carpets and rugs, furniture, baseboards, and more. Catching an infestation in its early stages is always the best way to stop fleas from spreading. The best way of doing this is by always enlisting the expertise of a flea pest control expert.
The Importance of Flea Control
Fleas aren’t just a nuisance—they can be dangerous, too! At Western Exterminator, formerly Hitmen, we know that a flea problem can seem never-ending. Fleas can infest humans, cats, dogs, other domestic animals, farm animals, and wildlife. Fleas can be present even in petless houses because a flea can jump about 15 cm vertically, and can easily stick to your clothing. Adult fleas can live without food for long periods of time. Some fleas can last up to several months without having a single bite. Fleas can be found nesting both indoors and outdoors. Our flea removal experts will work with you to ensure all signs of fleas in your property are gone and stay gone.
