Commonly Asked Questions

How long does a flea treatment take to work?

Most flea treatments start working immediately, but it may take a few days to see a significant reduction in fleas. Our treatments target fleas at all life stages, including eggs and larvae, to ensure long-lasting results. Following our post-treatment guidelines, like frequent vacuuming, helps speed up the process.

Can fleas survive in my home without pets?

Yes, fleas can live in carpets, furniture, and cracks in flooring even if you don’t have pets. They can survive for weeks without a host by feeding on other warm-blooded animals, including humans. Professional treatment is the best way to eliminate them completely.

What should I do before and after a flea treatment?

Before treatment, vacuum your home thoroughly and wash pet bedding in hot water. After treatment, continue vacuuming daily for at least two weeks to remove flea eggs and larvae. Avoid mopping treated areas for a few days to let the insecticide work effectively.

What are the signs of fleas in my home?

Common signs include pets scratching excessively, flea dirt (tiny black specks in pet fur or bedding), and small red bites on your legs and ankles. You may also see fleas jumping on furniture or carpets. If you suspect fleas, it’s best to act quickly before the infestation worsens.

How do Michigan’s seasons affect flea infestations?

Fleas thrive in warm, humid conditions, making Michigan summers a peak time for infestations. However, fleas can survive indoors year-round, even in winter. Keeping up with prevention methods is crucial to avoiding flea problems regardless of the season.
