Flea Pest Control Services

Our flea extermination services are typically completed within 30 to 45 minutes. Please allow our spray to dry fully for another hour before children and pets resume playing outside.

Before your professional flea treatment, please keep your pets and children indoors. Be sure any gates are unlocked so our service professional can reach your yard. To maximize the effectiveness of our treatment, please mow the grass ahead of time. Please survey your property and move any substantial obstacles that may block our reach into every corner. We want to treat every spot where the fleas hide.

Getting rid of a flea infestation in the house takes concerted effort and several steps:

• Treat every pet for fleas.
• Vacuum frequently—carpet and rugs, hard floors, even upholstered furniture.
• Wash all bedding with hot water—yours and your pets
• Hire professional flea pest control treatments for your property.

Following the manufacturer’s instructions, repeat the topical flea treatment for your pets monthly. Vacuum and wash all bedding frequently, continuing for a few weeks after you see the last flea so you stay ahead of hatching eggs. Despite your best efforts indoors, your flea problem will continue if they remain on your property. They will hitch a ride on your pets’ fur or your clothing, so professional flea treatments outdoors are necessary to take care of the infestation fully. Please be aware that Mosquito Joe only provides outdoor pest control services.

If you’re worried about chemicals, we also offer eco-friendly treatments consisting of a mixture of essential oils that are equally effective as our other solutions.

Some essential oils, like lemongrass, rosemary, peppermint, citronella, and tea tree oil, are highly effective at repelling fleas. They typically do not kill the pests but actively repel them. Please remember that just because essential oils are eco-friendly, they cannot be used without proper dilution. Some essential oils are highly toxic to pets. Consult your vet before using any oils on your pet or their bedding.

Remember, every indoor infestation begins with fleas outside the home. Trust Mosquito Joe’s professional flea treatments to reclaim your outdoor spaces from biting insects. First, we spray the exterior of your home, from the eves to the foundations, to help keep fleas outside where they belong. Next, our service professional treats all the spots on your property where fleas hide, waiting to pounce on unwary pets and people. Our flea removal service targets every stage of the flea life cycle to nix the pests on your property effectively. Our follow-up treatments work to keep local flea populations from moving in.

A surefire way to determine if you have fleas on your property is to perform the “white-sock test.” Put on white socks pulled up above your calves and walk throughout your property. Walk through any tall grass. If fleas are present, they are likely to jump onto your feet or lower legs, appearing as brown or black flecks against the white sock. If your property flunks the white-sock test, call Mosquito Joe for flea pest control.
