FAQ

Flea Control questions

Answers to common questions we hear from homeowners, tenants and businesses.

Why can fleas still appear after treatment?

Immature stages can continue developing and emerging for a period, which is why follow-up guidance and continued monitoring matter.

Can a home have fleas even if there are no pets?

Yes. Fleas may be associated with wildlife, rodents, previous occupants or animals that previously spent time in the property.

Why is vacuuming important during flea control?

Vacuuming helps remove debris and some flea stages from carpets, cracks and pet resting areas. It is commonly part of the preparation and follow-up plan.

Do pets need to be treated at the same time as the home?

Pet care and environmental control usually need to be coordinated. A veterinarian should advise on appropriate flea prevention or treatment for animals.

Do bites around the ankles prove that fleas are present?

No. Bites alone are not enough for reliable identification. Finding adult fleas, flea dirt or activity associated with pets or resting areas provides stronger evidence.

How long can a flea problem take to resolve?

Timing depends on the infestation, environmental conditions, pet management and the flea lifecycle. New adults may continue emerging for a period even after the main treatment.
