Understanding Fleas: Pests with Hidden Risks
-
Fleas, those tiny insects that feed on warm-blooded animals like pets and humans, can be more than just a nuisance. While they cause itchy bites and rashes, they also carry diseases and tapeworms. Fleas are resilient parasites, capable of laying thousands of eggs and surviving in various life stages. Effective flea control demands comprehensive approaches targeting eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults.
-
These pests have strong legs, allowing them to leap impressive distances, making them challenging to manage. Fleas can also infest your home by hitching a ride on your pets. Fleas can cause anemia, skin infections, and spread diseases, not just discomfort.
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.
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.

My family and I are so happy we went with mosquito Joe! This company is truly a family and makes you feel like you are part of their family. Casey was the technician who came to our house – he was extremely friendly, professional, and kind. Casey answered all of our questions and checked in with us before and after the treatment. Dialla has also been amazing. She is always pleasant and friendly on the phone and has taken a lot of time speaking with us and answering our questions. I highly recommend mosquito Joe.

I though the first year was an anomaly since it was so dry, but the amount of mosquitos was very low. Last year was super wet and we were surprised at how nice it was to sit in the backyard the entire season. I would recommend them for anyone looking to enjoy the summer without the annoying mosquitos.
