Indicators of the Need for Flea Management
The primary and most prevalent indication of a flea issue is the vexing bites they inflict. Given that fleas typically leap only 1-2 feet off the ground, their bites are commonly found around the ankles and lower legs.
​
However, if they have invaded a bed or sofa, it's anticipated that they will bite any part of the body. In such cases, implementing flea control measures becomes imperative.
Pet-related concerns:
Persistent itching and scratching in your cat or dog often signal a flea problem. Inspect pet bedding for indications of flea presence. If identified early, addressing the pet bedding might suffice without requiring a comprehensive household treatment.
Visual confirmations:
Fleas are observable when they are actively jumping about, especially in empty properties. The vibrations from movement can awaken fleas, prompting them to leap in search of a blood meal. These insects typically appear black and measure approximately 1mm in size.
Eradicating Your Flea Issue with CheckAPest
At CheckAPest, we employ two proven elimination methods to address your flea problem. One option involves a chemical spray or fumigation treatment, while the other utilises heat treatment.
Both approaches are highly efficient and come with a guarantee. However, our premium service, the heat treatment, ensures complete eradication on the same day. For more details about this service, please visit our dedicated page on insect heat treatment.
​
The chemical treatment entails spraying or fogging specific areas with a potent residual chemical. This action exterminates all active fleas during the treatment and remains effective on surfaces. It continues to work until dormant fleas emerge, eggs hatch, and the treatment eventually eradicates them.
​
While the chemical treatment is not instantaneous due to the life cycle of fleas, it is notably effective and comes with a guarantee. If the issue persists, we offer a complimentary return service to ensure complete satisfaction.
