Professional Flea Treatment for Your Home
Fleas can become a frustrating problem very quickly. Once inside, they can live in carpets, rugs, furniture, pet bedding, cracks in flooring, and areas where pets rest. Because fleas have multiple life stages, professional treatment and proper preparation are important for long-term control.
At Howey Pest Solutions, we provide customized flea treatments designed to target active fleas and help break the flea life cycle inside your home.
Signs You May Have Fleas
Where Fleas Hide
Fleas often stay close to areas where pets sleep, rest, or spend the most time.
Our Flea Inspection Process
Every flea service begins with an inspection and conversation about where activity is being noticed, whether pets are present, and what areas need treatment.
Our Flea Treatment Process
Flea treatments are customized based on the home, activity level, and where fleas are being found. Service may include:
Customized Flea Control Solutions
Every flea problem is different. The number of pets, size of the home, flooring type, activity level, and preparation completed before service can all affect the treatment plan.
That is why we begin with a FREE professional inspection. Our licensed technician will evaluate the activity, explain preparation steps, and recommend the best treatment option for your home.
Flea Preparation
Proper preparation is extremely important for successful flea control. Before treatment, customers may be asked to:
What to Expect After Flea Treatment
It is normal to see some flea activity for 7–14 days after treatment as eggs continue to hatch and fleas contact treated areas.
Continue vacuuming daily for at least 2 weeks after treatment. Dispose of vacuum contents immediately after each use.
Do not shampoo carpets or mop treated areas for at least 3 weeks unless instructed by the technician.
Why Fleas Come Back
Fleas can return if pets are not treated, wildlife is active around the property, or eggs continue hatching after the first service.
How to Help Prevent Fleas
Yard Flea Reduction
Fleas can also be present outdoors, especially in shaded areas where pets or wildlife rest. Our Yard Defense Plan includes flea reduction along with mosquito and tick treatments during the active season.
If fleas are coming from outdoor areas, combining interior treatment with yard protection may provide better results.
