FLEAS

Fleas are a common nuisance in Georgia homes, especially in warm, humid climates like ours. These tiny, wingless insects are external parasites that feed on the blood of pets, wildlife, and sometimes humans. Fleas are notorious for their ability to jump long distances and reproduce rapidly, making infestations challenging to control once established.

Understanding Flea Infestations

Flea infestations typically begin when pets bring fleas into the home. Fleas lay eggs on your pet, which then drop off into carpets, bedding, and furniture. These eggs hatch into larvae, then pupae, and finally adult fleas, continuing the cycle. Infestations can cause intense itching and discomfort for your pets and family members, and in some cases, fleas can transmit diseases or cause allergic reactions.

Signs of a flea infestation include frequent scratching or biting by pets, visible fleas or flea dirt (tiny black specks) on your pet's fur, and red, irritated skin. Fleas thrive in warm, humid environments, making Georgia homes especially susceptible during spring and summer months.

How to Get Rid of Fleas

Eliminating fleas requires a comprehensive approach:

Treat Your Pets: Use veterinarian-recommended flea treatments such as topical solutions, oral medications, or flea collars.

Clean Your Home: Vacuum carpets, rugs, and furniture thoroughly and frequently to remove eggs, larvae, and adult fleas. Dispose of vacuum bags or empty canisters immediately.

Wash Bedding: Regularly wash your pet's bedding and your own linens in hot water.

Yard Maintenance: Keep your yard tidy by mowing the lawn and removing debris where fleas can thrive.

Use Insecticides: Apply flea control products designed for indoor and outdoor use, but always follow label instructions carefully.
