Flea Control & Treatment
Complete flea elimination for your home and yard. Stop the itching and protect your pets and family from these persistent pests.
Flea Infestations Are Miserable
Fleas are more than just a nuisance – they make life miserable for your pets and family. These tiny parasites reproduce rapidly, with a single flea laying up to 50 eggs per day. What starts as a few fleas on your pet can become thousands infesting your carpets, furniture, and bedding within weeks.
At Matar Pest Control, we provide comprehensive flea treatment that targets fleas at every life stage – eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. Combined with treating your pet (consult your vet), our home treatment eliminates the infestation completely.
🐾 How Fleas Affect Your Pets & Family
- Flea Allergy Dermatitis – Intense itching, hair loss, and skin infections in pets
- Tapeworms – Pets can get tapeworms by swallowing infected fleas
- Anemia – Severe infestations can cause dangerous blood loss, especially in puppies/kittens
- Human Bites – Fleas will bite humans, causing itchy red welts
- Disease Transmission – Fleas can transmit typhus and other diseases
Understanding Flea Infestations
🔄 The Flea Life Cycle
Eggs → Larvae → Pupae → Adults. The complete cycle takes 2-3 weeks but pupae can remain dormant for months, waiting for a host.
📍 Where Fleas Hide
Adult fleas live on pets. Eggs fall into carpets, bedding, furniture, and cracks. Larvae hide in dark areas near pet resting spots.
🦘 The Jump
Fleas can jump 150 times their body length – equivalent to a human jumping over a skyscraper. They easily move between pets and furniture.
🏠 Indoor Problem
95% of the flea population is in your home as eggs, larvae, and pupae – not on your pet. That's why treating the home is essential.
⚠️ Signs of a Flea Infestation
- Pets scratching, biting, or licking excessively
- "Flea dirt" (black specks) in pet fur or on bedding
- Seeing fleas jumping on carpets, furniture, or pets
- Red, itchy bites on your ankles and lower legs
- Hair loss or red skin patches on your pet
- Tapeworm segments (rice-like) in pet stool
