Fleas typically arrive on pets or wildlife that pass close to the home, then establish in carpets, pet bedding, and soft furniture, where eggs can lie dormant for weeks before hatching in response to vibration or body heat.
Because most of a flea population exists as eggs and larvae in fabric rather than as visible adults, treating only the pet without treating the home rarely solves the problem.
We treat carpets, baseboards, and pet resting areas with pet-safe products, and time follow-up treatment to catch the next generation of eggs hatching out, which is where DIY treatments usually fall short.
