Folsom Flea Control

Folsom flea control specialists wait day and night for your call. Why? Fleas may seem like a tiny nuisance, but they can cause major issues for your home and family.

Why Hire A Folsom Flea Removal Company?

If your home has fleas, you know it. Long before you even identify the fleas, you, your family, and especially your pets will feel them biting. The itch alone will be enough to make you want to run from home! However, an itch isn’t the only thing Folsom fleas carry with them. If left unchecked, fleas could spread flea-borne typhus, heartworms, tapeworms, or even the bubonic plague! To make matters worse, the storebought insecticides most people use to combat these pests come with deadly side effects of their own that could cause more harm than good!

The best way to avoid either of these issues it to have Folsom flea control specialists combat the problem. Our team here at Millenium Termite and Pest can take care of the fleas invading your property without exposing you to pesticides. When the job is done, you’ll be free to return to your flea-free home in no time.

When To Call Our Folsom Flea Exterminators

Generally, if you have fleas, you’ll know it. Some of the signs of a Folsom flea infestation include:

• Visible fleas – You’ll likely notice that fleas concentrate around pet beds, in your carpet, or underneath furniture (like your couch). So, when looking for a flea problem, check those areas first.
• Small, itchy bites around your feet and ankles
• Pets that constantly scratch themselves

Unfortunately, by the time you notice adult fleas, it’s too late, and an infestation has already begun. What’s more, flea infestations are notoriously difficult to get rid of. If you have an infestation, then don’t hesitate to contact our Folsom flea removal company immediately.

The Difficulties Of Flea Control in Folsom

Fleas are highly-evolved parasitic insects. They reproduce quickly, and they are incredibly well-protected from insecticides during their early life stages. In fact, their well-evolved life-cycle is precisely why it is so difficult to get rid of a flea infestation. That life-cycle is as follows:

Egg Larva Pupa Adult

While some pesticides work well at killing eggs, larval fleas, and adult fleas, there isn’t a pesticide on earth (that you’d want anywhere near you or your pets, or your family, that is) that can kill fleas during their pupal life stage.

Our Process For Folsom Flea Removal and Control

Because of how difficult it is to kill Folsom fleas during their pupal stage, flea control in Folsom is often a multi-step operation. Let’s break it down:

1. Vacuum Everywhere: If you have fleas, then you should vacuum everywhere at least once a day. The vacuum is, by far, your most effective weapon in the Folsom flea removal arsenal. In fact, vacuuming is the only way to help get rid of fleas in their pupal life stage!
2. We Apply Insecticide: Once you’ve vacuumed and our pest control professionals arrive, we’ll apply insecticide throughout your entire residence. During this time, you’ll need to get your pets and family out of the house for a few hours (our chemical is toxic during application). We’ll apply insecticide everywhere, so also make sure to seal and put away all foodstuffs and pet bowls.
3. Vacuum Everywhere, Again: That’s right, a short few hours after our pest control professionals apply chemicals, you’ll need to vacuum again. You should vacuum your home every single day (at least once) for two weeks after we apply insecticide.
4. We Apply Insecticide, Again: Yup, that’s right. Even though we’ve already applied a round of insecticides, we’ll need to apply another round of chemicals two weeks after the first. Why you ask? Since the flea life cycle is approximately two weeks long, that gives the pupal fleas time to hatch. Once they hatch, they’re vulnerable to insecticide again.

You may have to repeat the process several times over several months to truly eradicate your flea infestation. Luckily, and for precisely this reason, we offer ongoing pest control services.

Sometimes, even repeating the process mentioned above isn’t enough to get rid of a flea problem. When that happens, we’ll often recommend “tenting” your residence to apply more effective (and harmful) chemicals.
