Flea Control In Jacksonville, NC

Whether you have pets or not, you should be aware of fleas and the difficulties they pose when they infest. These tiny insects growing between 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch long are usually too small to see without magnification. However, they have a thin, flattened body with a hard exterior, six legs, and are dark reddish-brown.

Fleas can't fly, but their legs are powerful, allowing them to jump 150 times their size. As parasitic insects, fleas require warm-blooded hosts to survive. They have stiff bristles on their bodies, which help them stay attached to the hair or fur of the animal they are feeding on.

An infestation of these pests might not be apparent right away because of their size. But adult female fleas can lay up to 50 eggs each day, so a small infestation can quickly grow, overwhelming your pets, family, and home.

Because of their reproduction rate and other factors, fleas are challenging pests to get rid of once they have established themselves in a home. If you attempt to use DIY control methods and store-bought products to eliminate a flea infestation, you may see some results but likely will experience a reinfestation in no time.

To effectively return your home to a flea-free state, you need treatments that target these pests at every stage of their life cycle, not just the adults. Without such treatments, you could leave flea eggs and larvae behind, which will continue developing and reproducing.

The most effective way to handle a flea infestation is by working with pest professionals for tried and true products and methods. Jacksonville residents can rely on our B&T Pest Control service team members for high-quality flea control, guaranteed.
