Flea Pest Control

Flea problems are more common than you might think, but they can be a nuisance and an ongoing problem for those with pets. On humans, bites can be itchy and sore and having fleas jumping around can be stressful. Cats and dogs are particularly prone to getting fleas but many fur-bearing animals can get fleas, so it is important to regularly check your pets and apply a preventative flea treatment. But you don’t have to have pets to get a flea problem. Fleas can spread quickly. They often infest several areas of your home, laying eggs in soft furnishings including beds, carpets and sofas. The fast-spreading nature of fleas makes effective control especially important and challenging, if you’re attempting treatment yourself. They jump fast and will quickly infest your living space. To address your flea issues effectively, call for Xpress’s professional flea pest control. The Xpress Pest Control team is available 24/7 and can be with you just 30-90 minutes* after your call. Speak to our teams and they will advise you on the best course of action in terms of the treatment process. Our Flea Exterminators will then visit your property to carry out a thorough treatment.

Why Flea Pest Control is For Professionals

Adult fleas can only live a short time without a host. Young fleas, those in the cocoon stage and not yet dependent on a host, can survive for months without food. This is why it’s so challenging to eliminate an infestation on your own. DIY pest control is often slow and ineffective and may not fully eradicate the fleas’ entire lifecycle. When the weather warms up any dormant eggs that haven’t been treated will hatch and you’ll have another infestation on your hands. So, it’s generally not recommended to trust DIY methods when tackling flea infestations. If you have pets, it’s crucial to maintain consistent treatment to keep them pest-free too. Pets should also be treated when any flea infestation is addressed. Flea bites can cause great discomfort to both humans and pets. So, to avoid a permanently uncomfortable situation, call Xpress now and have a flea exterminator with you 30-90* minutes after your call.

How do fleas spread?
Fleas feed on the blood of your pets but lay eggs in cracks and crevices, especially in soft furnishings. To avoid large infestations, immediately contact a pest control company when you realise you have a flea problem.

Once gone, fleas can be kept under control with pets’ flea medicine. However, if an infestation spreads further it is time to call flea exterminators like those at Xpress.
Are flea bites harmful?
For most people, flea bites are not harmful, but they can be extremely itchy and lead to irritated skin. However, if left untreated, these bites can pose risks, especially if you scratch them, which may result in secondary skin infections that require medical attention. And some people may experience severe allergic reactions to flea bites, which can further complicate the situation.

To avoid the harmful effects of flea bites, make sure to contact an Xpress Pest Control specialist to eliminate your flea infestation problem.
Why should I hire a professional for flea pest control?
Cocooned fleas can survive for months without food, making them difficult to eradicate without professional help. Plus, at-home treatments tend to be slow and ineffective in tackling most pest problems.
Do I need to prepare my home before a flea treatment?
To ensure your flea treatment is as effective as possible, it's important to thoroughly clean your home beforehand and wash things like cushions and pet bedding. Start by removing all loose items from floors and under beds. Then, vacuum all floors, carpets, and furniture, and make sure to remove any clutter from the treatment area.
What should I expect during a flea extermination service?
Our team will discuss your individual circumstances and recommend appropriate treatment measures. They will advise on what needs to be completed pre-treatment and will attend to apply insecticides. They may also advise a subsequent time period to not hoover. This allows any residual insecticides to fully work and target the entire lifecycle.
How long does it take to get rid of fleas?
The time it takes to get rid of fleas depends on the severity of the infestation. Xpress pest controllers use professional grade insecticides to give you the best outcome possible. After professional treatment, it’s essential to monitor the affected areas and clean them. And you may be advised a time period to wait so the insecticide can fully work, eradicating fleas and eggs.
