Flea Removal & Control

Surprisingly, you’d think the biggest cause for concern in your home would be fully grown adult fleas, but these only make up about 20% of the problem. The other 80% are composed of flea eggs and larvae ready to hatch and grow. So as you can imagine, even though adults are only 20% of the problem: they cause 100% of the frustration.

Since Standard Pest Management is operated by a certified Entomologist, we have years worth of experience studying the life cycle and habits of fleas within homes. When combining research along with real world data from our customers, we have found an integrated pest management approach to be the best strategy at killing fleas at all life cycles.

A flea bite to a human can be annoying because its saliva contain chemicals that illicit an immune response in our bodies which causes itching. When a cat or dog is bitten by a flea, we’re sad to say that the reaction is far worse. Flea bites on dogs and cats commonly cause severe allergic reactions and your pet may be suffering without you even knowing.

If this is the case and you are aware of the flea problem, our best advice would be to take your pet(s) to the local vet for immediate treatment and flea control. The veterinarian will only be able to give you good advice on taking care of your animals, you’ll need a partner like Standard Pest Management to keep your pets from being constantly attacked or carrying in fleas to your home.
