It could be fleas!
Fleas are small, reddish-brown, wingless insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals. Not only are they a source of irritation, but they can also carry and spread disease. Controlling fleas is a significant annual expense for some pet owners. But even when you have no pets, structures can still become infested. Animals such as bats, rats, and raccoons can reside in your property’s structures and might be the source of the problem.
One of the best ways to control fleas is by thoroughly cleaning. If you suspect you have fleas, treat your pets and clean their areas regularly. Vacuuming can remove flea larvae and eggs from carpets. Make sure to clean under furniture and along walls and discard your vacuum bags properly.
If the problem persists, contact our branch office nearest to you to find out how HomeTeam can help you control fleas in and around your home.
Signs of a Flea Infestation in Your Home
Are you itching to find out if your home is playing host to unwanted guests? Fleas, notorious for their irritating bites and rapid reproduction, may have silently invaded your living space. Keep a vigilant eye on these signs to determine if you’re dealing with a flea infestation:
- Itchy Bites — Flea bites often result in red, itchy welts on your skin, especially around the ankles and legs.
- Pet Scratching — Frequent scratching, biting, or restlessness in your pets may signal flea activity.
- Visible Fleas — Although tiny, fleas can sometimes be seen on your pet’s fur or even jumping around your home.
- Flea Dirt — Dark specks on pet fur or bedding could be flea dirt, a mix of blood and flea excrement.
- Hot Spots — Fleas love warm, humid environments, so areas like carpets, pet bedding, and upholstery are potential hot spots.
