Surrey Flea Removal

Much like the dreaded bed bug, fleas are known for latching onto hosts and leaving bite marks behind. These blood-sucking pests are known to latch onto pets as well as other animals and even humans in order to travel. This provides not only a sources of food, but a way indoors where they can grow their numbers and eventually take over. Flea infestations might seem impossible to treat, but an effective Surrey flea removal is right around the corner – literally! Our local Toodaloo technicians are always available to treat infestations with professional care and service.

Getting to Know Fleas

Fleas are opportunists who live outdoors, lurking in plant life and low traffic areas, waiting for passing wildlife. With countless heavily wooded areas around Surrey, it is no shock that household pets are always picking up fleas. Flea control products, like collars, shampoos and other treatments are meant to keep bugs away but your dog or cat is not their sole mode of transportation. Pet owners are quick to pass blame onto Fido or Fluffy but mice, rats, raccoons and squirrels can also spread fleas and ticks. When these animals approach your property to dig through trash or scope the scene, they drop insects right at your doorstep. These critters might prefer feeding on animals, but they are not afraid to make a meal out of humans, as well. Flea bites are not known to transmit disease per se, but the bites that they leave behind are itchy, red, raised and uncomfortable.

When you suspect that you have a flea problem, it is important to know what to look for. It is not uncommon to spot a bug and misdiagnose it as a bed bug or assume that a simple mosquito bite is something worse. If they are properly fed, adult fleas are reddish brown with a rounded body shape. Before a heavy meal, however, these pests are just about transparent. Before their first blood meal, flea eggs and adolescent insects are nearly invisible to the naked eye. Clearing away adult pests while ignoring other stages of the life cycle is not an effective method of pest control. Instead of struggling with subpar attempts, just call Toodaloo!

Surrey Flea Removal Services: Treating Pests At Every Level

When you discover fleas creeping around your home or workplace, you can bet there are dozens more hiding out behind the scenes. On average, flea populations are primarily hidden away. Without property owners ever realizing, soft surfaces like pet bedding, furniture and carpeting can be a metropolis for bugs. In addition to these areas, cracks, crevices and even the spaces underneath baseboards can house the beginnings of an infestation. Adult female fleas deposit egg sacs loosely, usually in soft surfaces or on their hosts. This means that a single flea, on a single dog can spread eggs all across properties. An effective flea treatment will remove not only obvious issues but the more subtle problems as well.

Not all property owners are keen to introduce harsh chemicals into their homes or workspaces.
