Flea Treatment
Most fleas are 1/8-inch-long or less so they can be difficult to see unless you happen to see one crawling on your pet. Fleas don’t only bother cats and dogs, they can also jump onto you or one of your family members.
The adult flea may spend its entire life cycle feeding on your pet. Female fleas can lay up to 50 eggs per day. The eggs hatch in under a week so it doesn’t take long for fleas to become a real nuisance for your pets and your family. Because fleas lay so many eggs, the problem can be very difficult to tackle on your own.
While some pets are less sensitive to fleabites, other pets develop fleabite allergy dermatitis, sending the pets into fits of scratching and severe skin reactions. Fleas also serve as intermediary hosts for tapeworms. Your dog or cat can get tapeworms when they ingest infected fleas while grooming themselves.
Additionally, fleas are capable of transmitting an illness to humans called flea rickettsiosis. The symptoms include headaches, vomiting, chills, fever, and rash.

What Our Customers Are Saying
OMG! Glen and his crew are THE BEST! I had a rat issue for months, and after Glen came, it was resolved right away. Now we are working on making sure it doesn't happen again. I had a contract service with another reputable company for more than a year, and they really could not do as much as it was...
