"The technician Julius was very knowledgeable. He was very professional when he came in. He introduced himself, he said which company he was from, he walked me through everything he was going to do. Told me everything about the whole process of exterminating the house and he took in a couple of spiders for testing. So I felt comfortable with him being in my home with me being alone and also he was just very professional and very knowledgeable of his job."
Fleas FAQs
1 - What are the treatment options for fleas?
American Pest offers a treatment plan that eliminates adult and larval fleas on contact. Larval fleas will also be impacted with a growth regulator that will inhibit their ability to mature into reproductive adults. Fleas that are in the pre-adult cocoon (pupal) stage at the time of treatment will become adults within 7-14 days, but they should come into contact with the treatment area and die within several hours. This treatment combined with daily vacuuming and laundering completed by the property owner should ensure a complete elimination of the flea infestation within a few weeks.

Fleas are able to jump, which expedites their travel efforts from structure to structure. They may also “hitch a ride” with a person or animal who enters your home. From there, they take a blood meal before mating and reproducing. If your pet is suffering from flea or tick bites, it is likely that they are not being treated routinely by a veterinarian-approved prevention product for these pests. Talk to your veterinarian about what options are open for your pet for this proactive approach.
Talk to your veterinarian about putting your pet on a treatment routine with a vet-approved flea and tick prevention product. This proactive measure should keep your pet free from the pests.

There are a variety of over the counter products available to protect your pets from fleas, which you should discuss with your veterinarian. As for your home, we recommend laundering all pet bedding items and vacuuming all carpets and furniture, especially those that your pets rest on, including sofas and chairs. Please be sure to dispose of the vacuum bag immediately following to prevent re-infestation.
