Flea Pest Control In Los Angeles

Fleas are a small parasite that feed off the blood of humans and animals. These small creatures are often brought from an outdoor source or an infested animal. Their bites are not painful, but they do cause itchiness and irritation. Flea infestations are very common during sudden shifts in the weather. Because flea eggs can lay dormant for a year before hatching, a dry or wet spell can sometimes trigger old eggs in the area to begin hatching.

Fleas are prolific breeders. They have a short life cycle that includes dropping many eggs in the places they infest. These eggs are easily imbedded in furniture, carpets, baseboards and bedding. Once a flea egg has been deposited, the larvae inside waits for a source of heat and movement before hatching and hopping over to the nearest host.

Heat Treatment for Fleas

Heat treatment for fleas is by far the most successful way to treat fleas in a timely manner. This is because heat is able to penetrate eggs and destroy them before they hatch. Heat works by reaching all of the areas affected by fleas that are not easily reached by humans. Heat treatments are 100% chemical free and are ideal for anyone with a sensitivity to pesticides.

Low Toxicity Flea Treatments

Pest Innovations offers a low toxicity treatment, using low to no-odor pesticides designed to destroy fleas. These pesticides include the use of growth regulators, which prevent fleas from breeding and dropping new eggs. We will also treat the exterior of the home to prevent fleas outdoors from hitching a ride in the future.
