Why Flea Infestations Are So Hard to Beat

Many homeowners become frustrated when, after treating their pet and using a fogger, fleas reappear weeks later. This happens because the visible adult fleas are only a tiny fraction of the total population. A successful treatment must target the entire, complex life cycle of the flea.

• The Adult Fleas (5% of the Problem): These are the biting fleas you see on your pet. While they are the most obvious part of the problem, they only represent a small portion of the total infestation in your home.
• The Eggs (50% of the Problem): A single female flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day. These eggs fall off your pet and into carpets, bedding, furniture, and floor cracks, creating a massive, hidden reservoir.
• The Larvae (35% of the Problem): The eggs hatch into tiny, worm-like larvae that burrow deep into carpet fibers and upholstery, feeding on organic debris. They avoid light and are completely unseen.
• The Pupae (10% of the Problem): The larvae spin a protective cocoon to become pupae. This stage is incredibly resilient and resistant to most insecticides. They can lie dormant for weeks or even months, waiting for a host (your pet) to walk by.

This is why DIY treatments often fail. They may kill some adult fleas, but do nothing to stop the endless wave of new fleas hatching from the eggs and pupae embedded in your home.

Our Comprehensive, Multi-Step Flea Control Process

At Parkway Pest Services, we tackle flea infestations with a comprehensive strategy that attacks every stage of the life cycle. Our process, rooted in the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), ensures we eliminate the current problem and help you prevent future ones. Your family's safety is our top priority.

• Thorough Home Inspection: Our certified technician will inspect your Rye home to identify the primary areas of infestation, such as pet bedding, carpets, rugs, and furniture.
• Treatment of Your Pet: We will ask that your pet be treated by a veterinarian with an effective flea product on the same day as our home treatment. This is a critical step in a coordinated plan.
• Targeted Interior Treatment: We apply a combination of a fast-acting adulticide to kill the biting adult fleas and an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR). The IGR is essential as it prevents flea eggs and larvae from maturing into new biting adults, effectively breaking the life cycle.
• Focus on Safety: As a Green Certified company, we carefully select and apply the safest effective products. We will give you clear instructions on any necessary precautions, such as keeping pets and family out of treated areas for a short period.

This professional, two-pronged approach of killing adults and stopping reproduction is the key to achieving complete control and providing lasting relief for your pets and family.

Protecting Your Family's Health from Fleas

Flea bites are not just itchy; they can cause allergic dermatitis in both pets and people, leading to painful skin infections. A professional treatment plan is the fastest way to stop the biting and eliminate the source of this discomfort and potential for secondary infections.

Fleas are known carriers of diseases and parasites. They can transmit tapeworms to your pets and, in rare cases, diseases like murine typhus or Bartonella (cat scratch disease) to humans. Eradicating an infestation is a crucial step in protecting your family's overall health.

A professional service provides peace of mind that the products used in your home are applied correctly and safely. Technicians are trained to treat sensitive areas thoroughly while ensuring the safety of your children and pets, a guarantee you don't get with DIY foggers.
