July 28, 20243 min read

Who doesn’t find fleas annoying?  If we don't eliminate them right away, these small pests can take over our home and annoy us for a long time. This guide will provide key advice to assist you in keeping your environment free of fleas. You will discover all the information necessary to maintain a comfortable and flea-free home, including prevention methods, natural treatments, and recognizing when to seek expert help.

Importance of Flea Control

Follow these tips to stay flea-free and keep your home comfortable


Regular Pet Grooming

Regular grooming is key to keeping fleas off your pets. Make sure to groom and clean them often to get rid of any parasites, including eggs that could turn into worms. In homes with carpet, fleas tend to hang out where your pets rest, so vacuum frequently, especially in those spots. Be careful about where you feed your pets so you don't attract rodents. Wash pet bedding regularly, and keep your yard neat by mowing the grass and trimming bushes to reduce hiding spots for pests.

Regular Pet Grooming

Keeping your pets groomed is key to controlling fleas. Regular grooming and baths help get rid of fleas and their eggs. Use flea combs for thorough checks. Keeping your pets clean helps prevent infestations and keeps your home tidy. Regular grooming means fewer fleas and happier pets.

Tips on How to Keep Your Home Clean

Vacuum where your pets spend time. Clean your floors and wash pet bedding to remove flea eggs and larvae. Mow the lawn and trim bushes to keep your yard neat. A clean house helps keep fleas away.


DIY Solutions

Many pet parents choose not to use chemicals on their pets. Luckily, there are organic techniques available to deter fleas. An example would be mixing water with lemon, which can act as a successful repellent.

You can choose to either spray it onto your pet's coat or use a cotton ball to administer it. Another option is diatomaceous earth. Created from tiny fossilised algae, this natural insecticide is successful in eliminating fleas. Just spread it evenly on carpets and furniture.

Use care when using essential oils like tea tree oil, eucalyptus, and lavender near cats, as they could be harmful to their health. Make sure to properly mix them with water and soap before using.

DIY Flea Solutions: Safe for Pets and Kids

Try using lemon sprays, diatomaceous earth, and diluted essential oils like eucalyptus and lavender to keep fleas away naturally. These DIY tricks are pet-friendly, effective, and easy to use around the house.

Make sure whatever flea treatments you pick are safe for both pets and kids. Lemon spray and diatomaceous earth are great natural options. Always read the labels and follow the instructions to keep everyone safe.

Common Questions

What types of pest control services do you offer?

We provide comprehensive pest control services including the management of ants, cockroaches, spiders, rodents, termites, and other common pests. We also offer Termite inspections, emergency services, and customized treatment plans suited to your specific needs.

Are your pest control treatments safe for pets and children?

Yes, the safety of your family and pets is our top priority. We use environmentally friendly and approved products that are safe for both pets and children when used as directed.

What can I expect during a pest control visit?

During a visit, our technicians will inspect your property to identify pest issues and potential risk areas. We will discuss the findings with you and recommend a tailored treatment plan. Treatment can typically be carried out on the same day as the inspection.

How long does a pest control treatment take to work?

Most treatments begin working immediately, with full effects apparent within a few days. However, the time frame can vary based on the type of pest and the method of treatment used.

What should I do to prepare for a treatment session?

We may ask you to move furniture, remove pets from the treatment area, and ensure that all food items are properly stored. Specific preparation instructions will be provided when you schedule your treatment.

How can I prevent pests from coming back?

We offer comprehensive advice on maintaining your property to deter pests, including sealing entry points, proper waste management, and minimizing standing water around your home. Regular maintenance and follow-up treatments can also help keep your home pest-free.

Do you offer commercial pest control services?

Yes, we provide pest control solutions tailored to the unique needs of commercial properties, including offices, restaurants, warehouses, and more.

Do You Offer Pre Construction Termite Management Systems

Yes.. The most cost effective ways to protect a new home from termites is to start before and during the construction phase of the project. It is always easier and less expensive to install appropriate termite preventative and monitoring devices while the building is being constructed rather than afterwards.
