FLEA CONTROL SERVICES
FOR THE LAREDO, TX REGION

While everyone is aware of how much fleas affect our furry friends, not as many people are aware of how they can be pests to us too.


The warning signs of a flea problem are fairly easy to spot. Some you will notice on your pets while others can be noticed on yourself as well. They include the following:


  • Scratching
  • Hair Loss
  • Red Skin/Welts
  • Ankle Bites
  • Pale Gums
  • Flea Dirt
  • Fleas in Carpeting


A quick and easy way to detect fleas in your carpeting is the white sock test. Put on a pair of regular white cotton socks and walk around your carpet for about 10 minutes. If you have fleas, they can be found on those white socks. It’s then time to call a reputable exterminator for flea control services.


In the Laredo, TX area, that exterminator is Bug Busters Termite & Pest Control. We offer our flea control services to both residential and commercial clients in the region. We have plenty of experience in this area, so you can always expect excellent results. Plus, our work is backed by a full warranty.

HOW TO PREVENT FLEAS FROM TAKING UP RESIDENCE IN YOUR HOME

Treat your pet - Your pet should be treated with flea medication during the warm months of the year. When you start and stop needing to treat your pet for fleas will depend on the weather patterns in the state that you live in. The warmer your state, the more months out of the year your pet will need flea medication to avoid needing flea control services to come to your home. Our pest control services will be necessary if your dog or cat gets fleas, or a guest brings fleas into your home. If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of needing flea control services at your home, contact our residential pest control team right away. 

 

Maintain cleanliness of pet areas - Fleas are looking for a warm body to take over, which makes your dog or cat the perfect home for them. In addition to treating your dog for fleas, you should also maintain a clean environment for your pet inside your home. This means washing their bedding, vacuuming, and shampooing the floors that your pet sleeps and lays on regularly. Cleaning helps with flea control because you are not giving fleas that take up residence in your place to stay and lay eggs. If one flea gets into your home and you have been cleaning regularly, you will never even know they were there. 

 

Keep your house clean - Failure to keep up with regular house cleaning can lead to the need for flea control services to come to your home. Why? Well, fleas are attracted to pets, so it is important to clean your home regularly if you have a pet. Although cleaning will not prevent fleas from wanting to be in your home, cleaning will reduce the likelihood of fleas breeding in your home. A flea infestation that goes unnoticed for even as little as a week can result in some serious issues for you and your pet, especially if you have not been vacuuming and cleaning your pet’s bedding regularly. Contact our residential pest control team at Bug Busters Termite & Pest Control if you have any concerns about flea infestations in your home.
