Flea Troubles? Learn Why You Need the Professionals

Getting through a flea season with your pets unscathed can be a real challenge. Fleas will find their way onto your pets' skin, the living room carpet, and even household linens during those hot summer days.

If pets start scratching incessantly and household members suffer from small itchy bites, it's time to act.

Unfortunately, DIY flea exterminations don't always work. Here are some great reasons to consider hiring a professional to eliminate these pests:

More effective results

One of the biggest problems with flea infestations is that they're rarely caught in the early stages. When the biting starts, the situation is already dire, and it can be tough to remedy.

A single flea can lay a daily maximum of 25 eggs, which means they spread quickly. The worst part is that you can't destroy these flea eggs with the average home insecticide. Therefore, the flea lifecycle is immensely tough to break, resulting in a troublesome infestation.

However, professional flea exterminators rely on specialized methods to systematically remove the fleas. One of these professional flea control services is a thorough inspection. The proper solution is applied when the scope and severity of the infestation are determined.

Professionals use highly effective and EPA-approved chemicals to eliminate any presence of fleas from your property. These powerful insecticides can permanently remove even the flea eggs often hidden in carpets and other soft, dark areas.

A healthier environment for everyone

Some homeowners may struggle to maintain a flea-free home. Keeping these pests away permanently can be a real struggle if their pets spend time outdoors.

Eventually, it can create an unhealthy environment for animal companions and human household members. Instead of dealing with the mental and physical stress of all the inefficient DIY flea removals, consider hiring a professional service and avoid these issues.

Cost-effective solution

A professional flea exterminator will cost more than buying an over-the-counter insecticide. However, when you compare the efficiency of the professional service to what you can achieve alone, it's easier to understand why that's the case.

An extermination professional can deal with the fleas inside and outside your home. For example, they can treat the backyard where pets and other animals play to cover all the problematic areas.

A professional flea exterminator can also treat crawl spaces or dog houses appropriately if necessary.

Some surfaces will only require heat instead of chemicals, especially if you catch the infestation early. Remember that professionally treating a flea infestation will also reduce your veterinary bills.

Fleas are more than a nuisance

Dealing with fleas can be a truly miserable experience, with all household members experiencing prolonged and unnecessary suffering.

When the fleas re-appear quickly after the DIY treatment, frustration will set in. Instead of wasting more money and time never to see permanent results, consider calling an experienced professional flea exterminator.
