Our Approach to
Flea Control
Our comprehensive flea control process begins with a thorough inspection of your property to assess the extent of the infestation and identify areas where fleas may be hiding. Based on our findings, we develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Indoor Treatment
We utilize safe and effective insecticides to treat indoor areas where fleas are present, including carpets, rugs, furniture, and pet bedding. Our products are specially formulated to eliminate fleas at all life stages, ensuring thorough eradication of the infestation.
Outdoor Treatment
In addition to indoor treatment, we also address outdoor areas where fleas may be harboring, such as yards, gardens, and patio areas. We apply insecticides to target flea populations and prevent re-infestation from outdoor sources.
Pet Treatment
We recommend treating pets with veterinarian-approved flea control products to ensure comprehensive flea control. This helps to prevent fleas from re-infesting your home and provides long-term protection for your furry friends.
Signs of Flea Infestations
Fleas can be a nuisance and pose health risks to both humans and pets. It's important to recognize the signs of a flea infestation so that you can take action. Here are some common indicators that you may have fleas in your home.
Pet Scratching and Irritation
One of the most telltale signs of fleas is excessive scratching, biting, or licking in pets. Flea bites can cause intense itching and discomfort, leading pets to exhibit noticeable signs of irritation. If you notice your pet scratching more than usual or developing red, inflamed skin, it could indicate a flea infestation.
Visible Fleas or Flea Dirt
Adult fleas are small, reddish-brown insects that are typically about 1-2 millimeters in length. They may be visible on your pet's fur or crawling on carpets, furniture, or bedding. Additionally, you may notice tiny black specks on your pet's fur or in their bedding, which are flea feces, also known as "flea dirt."
Red Bumps or Bites on Humans
Flea bites can also affect humans, causing red, itchy bumps on the skin. Flea bites are often grouped in clusters or lines and may appear on areas of the body that come into contact with infested pets or infested areas of the home, such as ankles, legs, and feet.
Flea Eggs and Larvae
Fleas lay eggs in the environment, which can be difficult to spot with the naked eye due to their small size and translucent appearance. However, if you notice tiny white or translucent oval-shaped objects on your pet's fur or in carpets, bedding, or upholstery, it could indicate the presence of flea eggs or larvae.
Flea Allergy Dermatitis
Some pets may develop an allergic reaction to flea saliva, known as flea allergy dermatitis (FAD). Symptoms of FAD may include excessive scratching, hair loss, redness, and inflammation of the skin. If your pet exhibits signs of FAD, it's essential to seek veterinary care to address the underlying flea infestation.
Charleston Flea Extermination Service FAQ
Fleas hide in carpets, furniture, pet bedding, and yards, often in eggs or pupae that DIY sprays can’t reach. We begin with a thorough inspection and create a custom treatment plan to target fleas at all life cycle stages, indoors and outdoors. This approach is far more effective than one-off sprays.
Fleas live indoors and outdoors. Our service includes indoor treatment (carpets, furniture, pet areas) and outdoor treatment (yards, patios, shaded areas) to reduce the risk of reinfestation.
Fleas often travel on pets. We recommend veterinarian-approved flea prevention to help keep fleas from reintroducing themselves into your home.
For best results:
- Vacuum floors, carpets, and furniture thoroughly.
- Wash or replace pet bedding, blankets, and linens.
- Keep pets in a safe area until treatments are dry and safe.
Because fleas have multiple life stages, one treatment is often not enough for moderate to severe infestations. We usually recommend at least one follow-up to eliminate newly hatched fleas and flea eggs.
Yes. We use products designed for residential homes and pet-friendly environments, and provide instructions to ensure safety during and after service.
With a comprehensive plan (indoor + outdoor + pets + follow-ups) and proper cleaning, reinfestation is rare. If problems persist, we’ll reassess and adjust your treatment plan until the fleas are gone.
Adult fleas often die within a day or two, but complete elimination—including eggs and larvae—can take a week or more. Follow-ups help ensure full control.
We work with you to schedule treatments at convenient times and provide guidance for keeping pets safe during and after service.
We combine inspection, customized treatment, indoor/outdoor coverage, pet protection, and follow-ups to eliminate fleas with lasting results. Our approach focuses on keeping your home truly flea-free, not just hiding the problem.
Our products are safe for most home surfaces. We provide guidance for protecting delicate items during treatment. Our goal is effective flea control without damaging your home.
Treatment longevity depends on the level of infestation, the number of pets, and the yard conditions. Typically, a single service, followed by follow-up, can keep fleas under control for weeks to months with proper maintenance and prevention.
Our flea control services are formulated for the Southeast’s climate. We consider local weather and seasonal patterns when planning service to maximize effectiveness.
Regular vacuuming, washing pet bedding, maintaining your yard, and using veterinarian-approved pet preventatives all help keep flea infestations away between treatments.
We stand behind our work. If fleas return within a specified period, we’ll re-treat and work with you to ensure the problem is fully resolved.
