Fleas
These small, wingless insects are notorious for their biting and blood-feeding habits, often infesting pets and wildlife. Fleas can be a significant nuisance for both animals and humans, causing itching, discomfort, and potential allergic reactions. Their rapid reproductive cycle makes flea infestations difficult to control once they are established. PestNation understands the urgency of addressing flea issues to ensure the well-being of both pets and residents in the Southeast.
Our expert services are designed to effectively identify and treat flea infestations, offering solutions tailored to the specific needs and concerns of homeowners. By using environmentally friendly methods, PestNation aims to manage flea problems while keeping the region pest-free.
Types of Fleas
In the Southeastern United States, managing fleas presents a variety of challenges due to the presence of different flea species. The most common flea affecting both pets and humans is the Cat Flea (Ctenocephalides felis), known for its adaptability and widespread presence in residential areas. Additionally, the Dog Flea (Ctenocephalides canis) also infests dogs and occasionally other animals in the region.
While these two species are the primary offenders, other fleas such as the Human Flea (Pulex irritans) and the Oriental Rat Flea (Xenopsylla cheopis) may also be encountered. PestNation is experienced in managing various flea species in the Southeast, offering professional pest management solutions tailored to the specific traits and behaviors of these blood-feeding insects.
