Fleas Making Life Miserable? We'll Help You Kick Them Out—Fast.
If your animals are scratching around the clock, or you've seen small bites on your ankles, it's likely fleas have taken up residence. These critters are more than a nuisance—they breed fast, are difficult to trap, and even more difficult to eliminate without the proper strategy. The bad news? For every flea you see, there are likely dozens more in hiding.
At Bug Squashers of Maryland, we have helped Hanover homes regain their comfort flea-free from incessant flea infestations. This is how we do it, step by step.
We don't simply spray and leave. We begin by finding where fleas like to nest and breed. Consider carpets, pet beds, couches, corners, baseboards, and under furniture. We pay special attention to where your pets sleep or play. After we have a good idea of the infestation, we create a plan that works.
One of the largest errors that humans make is attempting to treat only the fleas that you can see. That doesn't fix the issue. We treat with chemicals that attack every stage of the flea life cycle—eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. Treating all the areas that you can't see doesn't just slow them down for a period, but we cut off their future.
Fleas are eliminated together. We'll provide you with simple, straightforward instructions to assist: vacuum every day, wash all bedding for pets, medicate your pets with flea medication prescribed by your vet, and thoroughly clean floors and furniture. We divide it up and make it manageable so nothing falls through the cracks.
Depending on how long the fleas have been there, a second treatment might be necessary to finish the job. If so, we will do it at your convenience. And if you ever get the feeling that they are crawling back, we are just a phone call away. Fleas don't just go away. Let Bug Squashers of Maryland get rid of the bites, the scratching, and the stress—once and for all.
Fleas don't just itch; they can create an even bigger issue if left untreated. Fleas are tiny jumping bugs that fly under the radar until their biting becomes an annoyance on your pets or loved ones. Below are some common indications of a flea infestation you will want to familiarize yourself with.
One of the first indicators of a flea infestation is itchy, red bites on your skin. Fleas take blood by biting you, and their bites are usually annoying. The bites often come in clusters, especially on the lower leg, ankle, and foot. If you notice continuous itching or small, raised bites, fleas might be the cause.
Flea dirt, or poop, is another indication that you have fleas. Flea dirt is small black dots that look like pepper or dirt. You will see flea dirt on your pet's coat, on their bedding, or on your carpet. To check for flea dirt, use a damp paper towel and rub it across the areas. If it becomes red, it's flea dirt, because it has digested blood.
Fleas typically infest pets, so if you see them licking or scratching too much, they may have fleas. You can check for fleas by parting your pet's hair and checking for small, crawling insects. Fleas are small but can be seen with the naked eye, and they are usually dark brown or black. If you see fleas, then it's time to properly check your house.
Pets are usually the initial indication of a flea infestation. When you notice your dog or cat scratching or biting at their coat more than normal, fleas are most likely the culprit. Fleas are irritants to skin and produce severe itching. Pets will occasionally experience hair loss, redness, or scabs due to all the scratching.
Flea eggs are small, white, and oval-shaped. They will usually be on your pet's bed or in the carpet. Flea larvae are worm-like creatures and small, and they are in the same locations. If you notice flea eggs or larvae, you likely have a heavy infestation that needs to be treated right away.
If you see any of these symptoms, don't hesitate. Fleas multiply rapidly and can be an ongoing issue. Arrange a professional flea treatment by Bug Squashers of Maryland to clear the infestation.
Fleas are tiny, wingless insects that live off animal and human blood. They're usually associated with cats and dogs, but fleas will bite anyone in the home—yes, you included. Once inside, they can infest carpets, furniture, and bedding in an instant, so it's hard to get rid of them without professional help or long-term pest control measures. Not only are they a pest—but an invasive one.
Fleas don't have wings, but they're excellent jumpers. These unwanted critters are able to jump an astonishing 150 times their own length, so they can catch a ride from couch to pet—or to you. They have powerful legs that allow them to catch a ride and infest every room in your home in a matter of seconds. One flea can turn into hundreds.
One female flea deposits 50 eggs per day. The eggs fall from your pet and onto the floor, the furniture, or bed and develop into larvae. If not treated, an infestation can become heavy from light in a short amount of time. Fleas also burrow deep into cracks, baseboards, and bedding and are not easy to locate.
Flea bites usually appear as tiny, red, itchy bumps—usually on the legs or ankles. But besides being pesky, fleas also transmit diseases like typhus and tapeworms. On pets, fleas can cause hair loss, allergic dermatitis, and even anemia if left untreated. Flea infestations are not only painful—she's a health risk to the whole family.
Vacuuming and pet shampoos will kill a few fleas, but they barely eliminate the infestation altogether. Fleas also go through a four-stage life cycle including eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults—and most treatments only kill adults. Professional pest control targets all stages, breaking the cycle for good. Occasional prevention and treatment now and then are the best methods to stay flea-free.
At Bug Squashers of Maryland, we provide total flea removal for residential and commercial properties. We use safe, effective treatments that eliminate fleas at every stage of their life cycle—so they won't come back.
