Wildlife Wednesdays: Fleas—Tiny Pests, Big Problems

Fleas are more than just an annoyance; they’re a persistent problem that can quickly take over your home. These tiny pests may hitch a ride on your pets, but they can soon spread throughout your living spaces, leading to itchy bites and potential health risks. Once fleas establish themselves, they are notoriously difficult to eliminate without professional help.

How Flea Infestations Begin

Fleas are incredibly small and nimble, making it easy for them to latch onto your pets while they’re outdoors. Once inside, they breed rapidly, laying hundreds of eggs that can settle into your carpets, furniture, and pet bedding. Even with regular cleaning, these resilient pests can survive for weeks, waiting to emerge as fully-grown adults. This means that even if you think you’ve dealt with the infestation, it can flare up again, leaving you and your pets scratching at the problem—literally!

The Health Risks of Flea Infestations

Fleas don’t just cause discomfort with their bites; they can also transmit diseases. Fleas are known carriers of tapeworms and can also spread illnesses such as cat scratch fever and even typhus. These health risks make it crucial to address infestations promptly and thoroughly.

Why DIY Methods Aren’t Enough

Many homeowners attempt to tackle flea infestations using DIY treatments like over-the-counter sprays or natural remedies. While these methods may provide temporary relief, they often fail to eliminate the full flea population. Fleas in the egg or larval stages may be missed, allowing the infestation to reoccur.

To effectively get rid of fleas, you need professional services from experts like Paragon Pest Control. Our comprehensive treatments target fleas at every stage of their life cycle, ensuring that your home and pets are protected long-term.
