Fleas

Fleas are a small problem that can turn into a big headache. They can spread quickly, infect your pets, and make your home an itchy battleground. From allergic reactions to the risk of serious diseases, fleas are pests you need to take seriously.

At Green Shield Pest Pros, we provide comprehensive flea control services that get rid of these pests and protect your family and pets. Let’s dive into how fleas can cause damage and how we can help you stay pest-free.

Why Fleas are a Threat for Ohio Homeowners

Fleas are relentless and tough to get rid of, making them a nightmare for any homeowner. These resourceful pests are expert jumpers, capable of leaping up to 7 inches—more than 100 times their body length. This impressive jumping ability allows them to easily hop from pet to pet or spread throughout your home unnoticed.
They are also bloodsuckers, feeding on the blood of both animals and humans. While their bites may seem harmless at first, they can quickly lead to irritating itching, allergic reactions, and potential health risks, especially for young or vulnerable pets.
But it doesn’t stop there! Fleas have a life cycle that makes them even harder to eliminate. They go through four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Depending on the conditions in your home, they can complete this cycle in as little as a couple of weeks or drag it out for months.
What’s worse, flea eggs and pupae can remain dormant, just waiting for the right moment to hatch and start the cycle again. Add to that the fact that a single female flea can lay up to 50 eggs a day, and you can see how quickly a small problem can turn into a full-blown infestation.
Fleas may be sneaky, but they leave plenty of clues behind. If you notice any of the following signs, it’s time to take action and get ahead of an infestation:

Excessive Pet Scratching:

If your pets are constantly scratching or biting at their fur, they’ve likely picked up fleas

Flea Dirt:

Tiny black specks on your pet’s fur or bedding are flea feces from digested blood.

Bites on Humans:

Fleas don’t just bite pets; they bite humans, too! Look for itchy, red marks on your legs or ankles, as fleas can easily access these areas.

Visible Fleas:

Fleas are fast, but they aren’t invisible. If you spot tiny, quick-moving specks on your pet’s fur or around your home, those are likely fleas.

Eggs and Larvae:

Flea eggs are tiny and white, typically found in dark, secluded spots like bedding, carpets, and pet areas.

If any of these signs sound familiar, it’s time to take action. Fleas don’t give up easily, but with the right approach, neither do we!
