Flea Control in Chicagoland

Signs of a Flea Infestation

Identifying a flea infestation can be a simple task, but controlling the outbreak is often a much harder endeavor. Fleas are typically brown, black or red, have six legs, and are less than 1/8th of an inch in length. Your pet will show signs of fleas by scratching more than usual. When inspecting your pet for fleas be sure to check for small darkish spots on your pets fur. You might also find flea droppings in your pet’s bedding. Even if you only see 1 or 2 fleas, you should not take the problem lightly. A single flea can lay up to 50 eggs a day, so call Chem-Wise immediately if you see signs of a flea infestation.

Why We Treat

Fleas can cause a variety of issues for you and your pets. In cats and dogs, fleas’ saliva can cause flea allergy dermatitis. This can cause fur loss as they will constantly itch the affected area. Fleas can also transfer tapeworms and cause anemia in pets. Though most flea infestations stem from pets, fleas can also move to human hosts causing skin irritation and redness. The irritation allows the skin to break open, forming scabs that could get infected. Fleas on your pets may also indicate other pest problems such as a rodent infestation. If rodents have entered your home, they may be the source of the fleas in your pets. Once fleas have begun to infest your home it’s time to turn to professional help. Call Chem-Wise today!
