Flea Treatment FAQs
Why are fleas so hard to eliminate? Fleas breed quickly, with eggs hatching into larvae that hide in carpets and furniture. Standard cleaning rarely removes all life stages. Adult fleas feed on pets and humans, causing bites and discomfort. Without targeted treatment, infestations persist. Professional control ensures all stages are treated, breaking the cycle and eliminating fleas effectively and permanently. What signs indicate a flea infestation? Common signs include pets scratching excessively, red bite marks on ankles, and flea dirt resembling black pepper on bedding or carpets. You may also spot small jumping insects on carpets or pets. Because fleas reproduce rapidly, even minor symptoms can indicate a larger problem. Early intervention reduces discomfort and prevents infestations from spreading. How do professionals treat fleas? Professionals apply specialised sprays that target adult fleas and interrupt their breeding cycle. Treatments are applied to carpets, pet bedding, and common resting areas. Some products provide residual protection to kill emerging fleas. Combining professional treatments with regular pet care and vacuuming ensures infestations are eradicated completely, offering reliable long-term results and comfort. Are flea treatments safe for pets? Yes. Professional treatments are designed to be safe when applied correctly. Pets are usually removed during treatment and returned once products dry. Technicians use approved products that protect households while effectively killing fleas. Combining veterinary flea control with professional pest services ensures both your pets and home remain safe and free from infestations. Can vacuuming alone solve a flea problem? Vacuuming reduces flea numbers by removing eggs, larvae, and adults. However, it rarely eliminates entire infestations, as fleas hide deep in carpets and furniture. Eggs may survive and hatch later, restarting the cycle. Vacuuming works best alongside professional treatments and pet care, helping speed recovery while ensuring long-term control against reinfestation. How can I prevent fleas returning? Prevention requires ongoing pet treatments from veterinarians, regular washing of pet bedding, and thorough vacuuming. Sealing gaps where fleas hide also helps. Professional technicians may provide barrier treatments to discourage future infestations. By combining routine pet care with professional support, you can protect your home from recurring flea problems and maintain comfort year-round.
