Flea Identification & Treatment
Fleas are flightless insects that can jump very far and rely on blood meals from a host. Fleas feed on a variety of hosts including humans, cats, dogs, squirrels, rabbits, rats, mice and birds. They are very small, adults only reach about 3 mm in size. Fleas easily maneuver around different hairs and fibers. Despite their small size, fleas reproduce rapidly and in high numbers so infestations can quickly become very large.
Preventing pesky flea infestations before they invade your home is the best approach to pest control. During winter and spring months, plan ahead to provide a ring of protection around your property. At the first sign of pests, act quickly to regain your ground. Once a full-blown flea infestation is on your hands, it's an uphill battle to push back these pests.
