Long Island Flea Treatment

How To Identify A Flea Infestation

Appearance - Fleas have small, flat, reddish brown bodies. They are small, about ⅛ of an inch long, and move very quickly. Fleas are often confused with bed bugs and lice.

Behavior - Fleas are parasitic, and feed on blood. You will most likely find yourself or your family scratching and getting bit before you see a flea. Flea bites cause itchy pink bumps like mosquito bites, flea bites come in smaller clusters of bumps that can resemble a patch of acne. Fleas like to live on animals with hair or fur they can hide in, such as dogs, cats, rabbits, and rodents. They will deposit eggs in carpets, bedding, even the cracks of your floor. Flea feces may be seen, which looks similar to coarse ground pepper.

Why You Might Have Fleas

Flea problems can come from tall grass being near your property where you, your family and pets frequent. You could have a friend or family member who does not know they have fleas on their pet when they come over to visit. Suddenly the fleas transfer to your pet. Or, your animals can pick fleas up just by going on a walk. It is also important to treat your pet with a vet-prescribed treatment monthly. If you are late even on one treatment, fleas can start breeding inside.

Reasons To Treat Your Flea Problem Immediately

Not only are flea bites annoying, but scratching them can lead to infection. Children, adults, and animals can also be allergic to flea bites. Leaving a flea problem unattended will cause the flea population to increase at an alarming rate. Female fleas can lay up to 2,000 eggs each year, and will happily do so in your carpet. Long Island flea infestations require both the adult fleas and well as flea eggs to be killed in a series of treatments to completely stop the flea life cycle.

What to expect from our treatment

Target the Source
First we identify and target the source of your flea problem with our custom treatment.
Inside Treatment
We then treat unfinished basements, garages, crawl spaces, trash areas, attics; wherever there is the possibility for a pest to enter your home or make residence, we will create a barrier to protect you. We deploy a variety of techniques depending on what works best for your situation.
Outside Treatment
We create a protective barrier around your home using a granular base around the foundation. We then treat windows and doors, as well as under siding, to keep the pests out. We will also place a granular bait in your flower and mulch beds so that it is taken back to any potential nests, destroying them.

Our Guarantee

Fox Pest Control guarantees its treatment plan. If for whatever reason you have any new flea problems or other covered pests, we will treat at your convenience and at no additional cost to you.

The barriers we put in place to protect your home and family against pests will naturally break down over time. This is why over the course of the year we will regularly reapply treatments as well as re-inspect for new conditions, avenues and sources of pests to ensure your home is protected. For more details on our treatment schedule read our Home Protection Plan page.

Your home is your largest investment.
Let Fox Pest Control protect it against pests!
