Similar to their buzzing buddies, mosquitoes and ticks, fleas can harbor some nasty diseases. Luckily, Mosquito Joe of Edison-Westfield has cracked the code (and the itch). We offer exceptional flea control services to Somerset, Middlesex, and Union County in New Jersey. We’ll help you step into a flea-free world where your pets are happier and you’re worry-free.

Understanding Fleas: Pests with Hidden Risks
Safeguarding Your Space from Flea Worries
Putting some preventive measures in place is key to any effective flea control strategy. Here are some steps you can take to make your home or business less inviting for these tiny troublemakers:
- Keep grass mowed and trees trimmed. This is the opposite of curb appeal for fleas – they have nowhere to hide!
- Take care not to overwater your lawn or garden. Fleas love moisture. Without it, your yard is less hospitable to fleas.
- Don’t leave pet food unattended in your yard. This encourages feral pets and wildlife to investigate, and they’ll bring their fleas with them! An essential part of flea control is preventing new infestations. Opossums, raccoons, and stray cats are the worst offenders.
- Use a monthly topical flea control treatment for your pets to eliminate the fleas’ primary food source.
- Trim back any tree branches and high shrubs that would allow animals to crawl into your attic. If mice or rats can find their way in, fleas will come with them.
- Seal any openings to crawl spaces, garages, sheds, or under decks. These are spaces where wild animals, stray dogs, or cats could enter your home, and again bring fleas with them.
You need a comprehensive approach to flea pest control to ensure that you can enjoy your property free from biters. Regular barrier spray treatments from Mosquito Joe of Edison-Westfield are crucial for a successful pest control plan.
Safeguarding Your Space from Flea Worries
Signs that you need Flea Control
Fleas can be sneaky and very difficult to detect, they just appear to be little reddish-brown or black specks. There’s a chance you’ll spot them on your carpets, drapes, or upholstery. But in many cases, people don’t immediately realize when they are dealing with an infestation.
Instead of trying to spot fleas, keep an eye on your pets’ behavior. If your dog or cat is scratching and biting their fur and skin excessively, it may indicate that they have fleas. This behavior is their way of trying to alleviate the itching and biting sensation. If your pets have scabs, especially on their necks, it probably means they scratched themselves due to flea bites.
You can also keep an eye out for brown or black debris on your pets’ skin. This is the dried flea poop following a blood meal. If you note signs of an infestation, it’s vital that you contact a professional pest control company such as Mosquito Joe.

Service: Mosquito ControlFor 8 years we have been battling the mosquito. We have stayed in many beautiful evenings because of the pests. For the first time this year, after one application by Mosquito Joe, we have enjoyed every night this summer sitting on our deck. What a great service!

Service: Home Pest Control
It actually works!! I was skeptical at first. The mosquitoes are so bad here, but not since we've had this service. My neighbors also signed up because they noticed that we had no mosquitoes.
