At AP Pest Control, we understand how frustrating a flea infestation can be for both people and pets. The flea treatment is thorough, focusing on all flea stages right from egg to adult. We treat floors, carpets, beds, and other areas for pets on problem sites to tackle fleas at their point of thriving. The treatment can also be combined with follow-up advice to keep them from coming back. With AP Pest Control, you’ll get a detailed, effective approach that helps restore comfort to your home and keeps the biting pests away.
Fleas may be tiny, but they can create a massive headache, especially if you’ve got pets. At AP Pest Control, we know how frustrating it is to deal with nonstop scratching, bites, and a home that just doesn’t feel comfortable. That’s why we take a thorough and effective approach to getting fleas under control and keeping them from coming back.
The first thing we do is confirm that fleas are the real problem. Sometimes, bites or itching could be caused by other pests like mites or bed bugs. Once we're sure fleas are the culprit, we look for the areas where they’re most active—like pet bedding, carpets, furniture, and baseboards. It’s also important to understand how widespread the infestation is, so we can tailor the treatment.
Fleas are difficult to kill because their life cycle consists of eggs, larvae, and pupae that can hide deep in the fibers and cracks. We destroy adult fleas and prevent their life cycle from continuing. We utilize an integrated approach combining insecticides and insect growth regulators, concentrating more on the carpet, rugs, pet areas, and upholstered furniture.
Where applicable, we can recommend preparation steps such as vacuuming beforehand and washing pet bedding, so we get the best possible results.
As for indoor pests, fleas often come from the yard, especially when pets tend to spend their free time outdoors. Such high-risk areas may be treated outdoors-e.g., shady sites, under decks, or around pet hangouts prevent re-infestation. The entire process is contained in treatments. This ensures that we are treating the symptoms as well as the source.
We always advise follow-up after treatment if there is need for reviewing or re-treating. In addition, tips are given for avoidance of fleas in the business, such as vet-approved flea prevention for pets and keeping the outside environment clean.
At AP Pest Control, we don’t believe in shortcuts. We take the time to understand what’s going on in your home and create a plan that works. With experience, care, and the right products, we’ll help you get back to a comfortable, itch-free home.
Indeed, it is frustrating if fleas invade your living space without being detected. Although small, they can cause big problems. The fact that they move quickly and are hard to see makes them very good at spreading. If you think fleas have entered your home, though, here are the five signs that could help confirm your suspicion.
Pet's scratching may be the clear evidence required to pick such cases. The most affected areas are usually the neck, belly, and tail. During poor feeding, fleas create irritation that afterwards results in scratching.
Flea dirt is essentially flea waste, little black dots which resemble ground pepper. This could be found on the animal's skin or bedding, or furniture. Flea dirt leaves reddish-brown stains on a wet paper towel and is blood digested for flea-dirt.
Flea does not just bite the pet; even they bite human beings. If you begin noticing your lower legs and ankles with small, red bites, particularly found in groups, flea bite may be the source. The bites are itchy, producing either allergic reactions or skin irritation.
Fleas love soft, warm places like rugs, couches, and bedding. If you sit on the carpet or lie on the couch and notice tiny jumping insects, you’re likely dealing with fleas. They’re fast and small but visible with the naked eye if you look closely.
As mentioned above, fleas do tend to be more active in the evening. So, when your pet seems to be restless, grunts, whines, or paces up and down during the night, he may be distressed by fleas while trying to sleep.
Fleas multiply quickly and can spread throughout a home in no time. At AP Pest Control, we help tackle flea problems at the source so you and your pets can feel comfortable again. Noticing one or more of these signs? It’s a good time to call in the pros.
You might not believe it just by looking at them — these little guys are smaller than the tip of a pen! But get this: fleas can jump over 100 times their height. That’s like if you suddenly found yourself able to leap over a 30-story building. Crazy, right? Their powerful legs help them zip from one host to another, which makes catching them a real challenge and explains why infestations spread so fast.
Fleas survive by biting and feeding on blood, mostly from dogs and cats, but sometimes even people get unlucky. And it’s not just a quick snack here and there. They feast multiple times every single day. Believe it or not, a female flea can drink up to 15 times her weight in blood daily. If your pet has fleas for a while, they can become anemic from all the blood loss. That’s no small thing.
Once fleas get into your home, they waste zero time. One female can lay between 20 and 50 eggs every day! These eggs drop off your pets and scatter all over the place — carpets, bedding, furniture — you name it. Before you know it, those eggs hatch into larvae, then pupae, and eventually full-grown fleas ready to jump back into the cycle. It feels like an endless flea factory.
Here’s a surprise: adult fleas prefer feeding daily, but they don’t need to. If there’s no host around, they can hang on for weeks. Their eggs and larvae hide in tiny cracks and fabrics, just waiting for the right vibrations or warmth to know a host is nearby. This sneaky survival trick is why getting rid of fleas indoors can feel like a never-ending battle.
Most folks think fleas just cause itchy bites, but there’s more to the story. Fleas can spread diseases, like murine typhus — and yes, even plague, though that’s rare. For pets, flea bites can trigger allergic reactions, skin problems, and even tapeworm infections. So these pests aren’t just irritating —they’re a real health risk too.
Tiny as they are, fleas sure know how to stir up big trouble. From crazy jumping skills to breeding like there’s no tomorrow, they’re not easy to beat alone. But here’s the thing: if you spot them early and jump on it fast, you can save your home and your pets from a whole lot of misery. Don’t wait around — these little pests never take a break.
