What Are the Signs of a Flea Infestation?
Bites are often the first clue that fleas are present. You may see your pet scratching, biting, or licking itself more than usual, and you might even feel small raised scabs beneath its fur. Fleas will also target humans, so keep an eye out for clusters of itchy bites on yourself or other members of your household. Left untreated, these bites can quickly become uncomfortable and even infected.
Fleas themselves are very small, yet still visible without magnification. They appear dark in color and are recognized for their powerful jumping ability, which helps them spread quickly from place to place. You’ll most likely notice them when combing through your pet’s fur, but they may also show up in bedding, carpeting, or furniture where your pet rests. Once they establish themselves indoors, they can be difficult to control.
Where Do Fleas Come From?
Most people realize that fleas arrive on pets, but where do the pets get them? More often than not, the problem begins outside in your yard. You may treat your pet, only to find them reinfested after going outdoors. This is why professional flea control services focus on eliminating the source and keeping your yard free from fleas.
Sometimes fleas don’t start with your pet at all, but instead come from wildlife, rodents, or birds that wander through your property. These intruders can carry fleas that establish themselves in your environment and create a long-lasting infestation.

What Should You Do Before and After a Flea Treatment?
As a trusted pest control provider in Florida since 1958, we’ve handled flea infestations in numerous homes and yards. We know how quickly fleas can take over and how stressful it is. Here, we offer information on flea behavior, biology, signs of infestation, and tips for rapid relief. For urgent issues, call us without delay.
Preparing your home properly ensures the treatment works as intended. Your technician will not be able to treat the interior unless these preparation steps are finished before your scheduled service.
Before interior flea treatment:
- Vacuum Floors: Vacuum all flooring, paying special attention to areas where pets sleep or rest.
- Clean Bedding: Launder or discard any affected pet bedding to remove fleas and eggs.
- Vacuum Furniture: Vacuum any furniture pets use, making sure to clean between and under cushions.
- Bag Disposal: After vacuuming, seal the contents in a plastic garbage bag and dispose of it in an outdoor trash receptacle to prevent more fleas from hatching.
- Clear Clutter: Remove boxes and other items from rooms where pets spend time to allow full access for treatment.
- Leave Premises: Arrange to leave the premises during treatment. Pets and birds must also leave, while fish can remain if tanks or bowls are covered and air compressors are unplugged.
After interior flea treatment:
- Allow Treatment To Dry: Wait until the treatment has fully dried before resuming most activities.
- Keep Children Safe: Keep babies and their toys off floors for at least 24 hours after the treatment has dried. Other normal activities can resume once the treatment is dry.
- Avoid Cleaning Surfaces: Do not steam clean carpets or mop floors until the treatment has had time to work. Fleas need about a week to hatch from eggs or develop from pupae to adults.
- Expect Some Fleas: You may still notice some adult fleas after treatment. This is normal and shows the treatment is working.
- Vacuum Adult Fleas: Vacuum any adult fleas you see to help reduce their numbers.
- Consult Your Veterinarian: If fleas are found on your pet, it doesn’t always indicate an indoor infestation. Consult your veterinarian for proper treatment.
