What we do

Our Kreshco pests control service workers know all the pests and know how to control them

Using a vacuum cleaner to eliminate fleas may be ineffective since they are fast and can hide in hidden places. Vacuuming may only remove some, leaving eggs that can lead to another infestation. Fleas bite humans and feed on the blood of birds and mammals, causing red spots, itching, and swelling. Professional flea exterminators assess the home and use specialized products to eradicate them effectively.

Flea Extermination : Methods

Here’s information about Flea Extermination Methods:

 

  1. Chemical Treatments:
    • Insecticides: Professional-grade insecticides are applied to targeted areas where fleas are present, such as carpets, rugs, and pet bedding. These products kill adult fleas on contact and provide residual protection to prevent re-infestation.
    • Growth Regulators: Insect growth regulators (IGRs) disrupt the flea life cycle by preventing larvae from developing into adult fleas. This helps to control the population over time and break the cycle of infestation.
  2. Non-Chemical Treatments:
    • Vacuuming: Thorough vacuuming of carpets, upholstery, and other surfaces removes adult fleas, larvae, and eggs. It’s essential to empty the vacuum bag or canister outside immediately to prevent fleas from reinfesting the area.
    • Steam Cleaning: High-temperature steam treatment is an effective non-chemical method for killing fleas and their eggs on surfaces such as carpets, rugs, and furniture. Steam penetrates deep into fibers, eliminating hidden fleas and larvae.
  3. Pet Treatments:
    • Flea Shampoos: Bathing pets with flea-killing shampoos helps to remove adult fleas from their fur and provide immediate relief from itching.
    • Topical Treatments: Spot-on treatments and flea collars containing insecticides are applied directly to pets to kill fleas on contact and provide ongoing protection against re-infestation.
  4. Environmental Control:
    • Laundering: Washing pet bedding, blankets, and other fabrics in hot water and drying them on high heat kills fleas and their eggs.
    • Decluttering: Removing clutter from floors and vacuuming underneath furniture reduces hiding spots for fleas and makes it easier to treat infested areas.
  5. Professional Assistance:
    • If flea infestations persist despite DIY efforts, professional pest control services like Kreshco Pest Control can provide targeted treatments and ongoing monitoring to ensure effective flea control.
    • Professional exterminators have the expertise and tools to safely and effectively eliminate fleas from your home, giving you peace of mind and relief from flea-related issues.

Flea infestations can be effectively eradicated by employing a combination of chemical and non-chemical treatments and proactive environmental control measures, providing a safe and comfortable living environment for you and your pets.
