Fleas

How to Identify a Flea Infestation

Fleas are small, blood-sucking animals that hitch a ride on your pet and into your home. They are tiny, have six legs, and appear red or dark brown. Due to their small nature, people often can only see them once they have multiplied and spread. You may first notice signs of fleas if your pet becomes itchy and has red bumps or patches on its skin.

In addition to red bumps, your pet may be covered in a grainy black substance: flea dirt. These pests multiply on your pet and can fall off of and onto your carpet. From there, they can jump onto you. You may have a flea infestation if you see small jumping bugs reaching for your socks and ankles.

Tips for Preventing Fleas

Give monthly flea medication to your pets.
Bathe and brush your pets regularly.
Limit exposure to stray or wild animals.
Limit time outside.
Sweep and vacuum your home frequently.
Clean bedding regularly.

How My Pest Pros Helps

While fleas are tiny, they can still wreak havoc on your life. Their small and irritating bites can infect your pets with debilitating diseases. Once fleas have infested your home, it is difficult to get rid of them—and over-the-counter products are usually ineffective as flea treatment. That is where the My Pest Pros team comes in.

Our pest experts will eliminate your flea problem and ensure your home feels safe and comfortable for you and your pets. We take the time to find the root of the problem and treat all affected areas. That allows your home to remain flea-free all year round. Let us help your family and pets feel safe with our flea house treatment in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C.

				Our family had a positive experience with My Pest Pros (MPP) in removing a large hornet's nest (soccer-ball size) from a tree just above the driveway of our townhome. After looking at different reviews and comparing vendors, I decided to try MPP as a first-time customer. Lots of pluses. First, Kayla (receptionist) was friendly and professional during the intake call on Friday to assess the problem, ask for the location of the hornet's nest, and provide an estimated time window on the next business day (Monday).

We requested a one-time service payment option by check. Second, the staff person (Hunter) arrived on time (8:30am) and called me 15 minutes in advance. He completed the job in about 40 minutes by spraying chemicals to reduce the number of live hornets, sawed off the entire branch of the crape myrtle tree, and then cleared the entire branch with the soccer-ball size hornet's nest attached. Third, he explained we were lucky the hornets were not bald-faced hornets (which continue to attack you even after the nest is removed). Although it was $275 to complete the work, it was worth it to remove the hornet's nest and gain peace of mind. We would use their services again! read less

				We had a recent yellow jacket problem and kept finding them all over our basement. Pest pros came out quickly and took care of the problem without any issues, and their prices were better than 2 other companies I called. Will use Pest Pros again if we have any issues in the future with any types of pests. Thanks George and Pest Pros!!!

				They answered the call. From initial phonecall to first visit, My Pest Pros had amazing follow through. The communication, the ease of access, the honesty, and genuine act of caring about our home was first and foremost. Deja was a great technician. Deja explained why we might have a potential problem and they actively treated the main concern. They also had a presence of caring and connection. I'm glad I jumped ship and joined My Pest Pros. You will l too! Give them a call. They are better than the competition.
