How To Get Rid of Fleas

Q: Do fleas bite humans?

Fleas can and will readily bite humans since they live on the blood of mammals. Bites often occur in a cluster of two or three. People tend to be bitten around the feet, ankles, and lower legs.

Q: Can fleas live on humans?

Fleas will bite humans, but they won't live on them.

Q: How long can fleas live without a host?

A flea can live from up to a few days to two weeks without a host.

Q: Can fleas live in carpet?

Yes, and high pile carpets are the perfect hiding place for fleas. Their exoskeletons make them crush-resistant when stepped on, which allows fleas in the carpet to thrive.

Q: How do exterminators get rid of fleas?

There are a variety of strategies an exterminator can use to get rid of fleas. Connect with an Germenix Pro to create an effective flea treatment plan for your home.

Q: How much does an exterminator cost for fleas?

The cost of a flea exterminator varies depending on the pest control treatment plan. Get a free quote and contact your local Germenix Branch Office to request a comprehensive pest inspection from an Germenix Pro.

Q: What do you do after flea extermination?

It is common to still see fleas 1-2 weeks after treatment. You should vacuum your carpets daily for the next couple of weeks following flea treatment. It also helps to dispose the vacuum bag in a trash can outside of your home each time after you vacuum. Other things you can do to prevent reinfestation are deep cleaning your house 2 weeks after treatment and wash your pet's bedding on a regular basis.

Our targeted flea pest control service combines the most advanced technology and methods available to help take back your home.

The Science

What are the risks of fleas?

Learn all about fleas

Fleas Bites

Flea bites result in red spots that often are surrounded by reddened haloes. They are extremely itchy and may cause discomfort.

Pets Bringing Fleas into the Home

Pets transfer fleas to the beds and furniture where they sleep, so if you're cuddling with your pet, you may be bringing fleas into your own bedding.

Flea Infested Carpets and Furniture

Fleas lay up to 50 eggs per day on your pets, and as they move around indoors, the eggs spread, and fleas prefer carpeting and upholstered furniture.
