A flea infestation is frustrating because once they get into your home or business, they are very difficult to get rid of. So if you find fleas in your home or property, your first move should be to call our experts who know how to get rid of fleas effectively.
Fleas are resilient. They hide deep in carpets, breed fast, and can lie dormant for months. That's why our treatment process is built around three clear stages, each one designed to address a different part of the problem.
Our technicians start by thoroughly inspecting the interior of your property to:

Fleas reproduce fast – a female can lay up to 50 eggs a day, and those eggs fall into carpets, bedding, and furniture, where they develop out of sight. Flea pupae can remain dormant inside their cocoons for several months, which is why infestations reappear even after treatment.
Beyond the nuisance, fleas can pose real health risks: They can transmit tapeworms and certain bacteria, and some people and pets develop allergic reactions to flea bites. Pets with flea allergy dermatitis can experience hair loss, skin irritation, and significant discomfort.
The sooner you act, the easier it is to get the situation under control.

Different flea species have different habits and preferred hosts, and that shapes our approach.
We’re trusted by thousands for our flea control services. Don't just take our word for it; see what homeowners and business owners across the western U.S. say about us.
We start with a thorough inspection to identify where fleas are hiding and how the infestation started. From there, we build a targeted treatment plan that addresses every stage of the flea life cycle: eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults.

Fleas prefer animal hosts, but they can and do bite people. They don't typically live on humans long-term, but they'll jump on to feed and can move between people and pets.
Adult fleas need a blood meal to survive and reproduce, but flea pupae can remain dormant inside their cocoons for several months while waiting for a suitable host. This is one reason flea infestations can reappear after treatment, and why addressing all life stages matters.
Keeping fleas out starts with a few consistent habits: vacuum carpets and upholstery regularly, wash pet bedding frequently in hot water, and keep your yard tidy by trimming grass and removing debris. Work with your veterinarian to keep pets on year-round flea prevention.
The most common signs are pets scratching more than usual, small red bites around your ankles or legs, and tiny dark specks — known as flea dirt — on pet bedding or carpets. You may also spot fleas jumping in carpets or on furniture, particularly in areas where pets rest.
There are over 300 flea species found across the United States, though only a handful are responsible for most infestations in homes and businesses.
Cat fleas are the most common culprit, even in homes without cats, followed by dog fleas and human fleas. Identifying the species helps us choose the most effective treatment.
Flea bites cause itching and discomfort, and some people and pets can develop allergic reactions. Fleas can also transmit tapeworms and certain bacteria. In pets, repeated biting can lead to flea allergy dermatitis, causing hair loss and skin irritation.
Fleas most often enter homes on pets or wildlife passing through your yard. They can also hitch a ride on clothing or secondhand furniture. Once inside, they settle into carpets, upholstery, and bedding, where they breed quickly. Homes with pets are at higher risk, but fleas can infest any property, even those without animals.
If you're seeing signs of fleas and over-the-counter treatments aren't making a dent, it's time to call in a professional. Fleas reproduce fast, and a small problem can become a serious infestation within weeks.
