Flea Pest Control FAQs

We address top questions to help users make informed decisions.

Fleas are often brought into homes by pets or wildlife like rats and squirrels. They lay eggs in carpets, upholstery, and pet bedding, where larvae hatch and develop. Warm, humid environments in homes create ideal conditions for rapid flea reproduction.

Fleas prefer animals for feeding but can bite humans, causing irritation and allergic reactions. Humans are not their primary host, so fleas do not live on humans but can temporarily feed on them.

Flea eggs hatch within 1-10 days, and the lifecycle from egg to adult can be as short as two weeks under optimal conditions, leading to rapid infestations if untreated.

While bites cause itching and discomfort, fleas can also transmit diseases like murine typhus and tapeworms, especially dangerous for pets and immunocompromised individuals.

DIY treatments such as flea sprays and powders may reduce flea numbers but rarely eliminate entire infestations due to the flea lifecycle stages hidden in your home. Professional treatments are more thorough and effective.

Professionals use a combination of targeted insecticides, insect growth regulators, combined with thorough inspections and advice on cleaning to break the flea lifecycle.

Treatment frequency depends on infestation severity but generally involves an initial intensive treatment followed by follow-ups 2-4 weeks later to target newly hatched fleas.

Yes, if reintroduced by pets or wildlife, so ongoing prevention, pet flea treatments, and home hygiene are essential to avoid repeat infestations.
