My apartment had a severe case of carpet moths and Tom’s Pest Control got rid of them in just one visit. I am so satisfied with their service and it is also very cost effective! They will be visiting again in 2 weeks to make sure all the moths and their eggs are gone, which is amazing! We were advised on how to ensure the pests don’t return. Will definitely be coming here to get my end of lease pest management done!

Fleas are attracted to pets with fur and hair, so if you have a cat or dog at home, you can expect fleas to enter your property. Though these pests like to cling to your pets, they can also irritate you and your family members if they are present in large numbers. We’ll take care of the problem from start to finish, using effective treatments to remove fleas and keep them from coming back. Our goal is to ensure your residential and commercial properties are comfortable and flea-free so you can enjoy peace of mind.
How You Know Your Home Has a Flea Infestation
Fleas are tiny, wingless insects featuring dark brown or black bodies. Though these pests are small in size, they can be easily spotted with the naked eye. There is a chance you may see them moving quickly through your pet’s fur or even jumping onto your carpets and furniture. Here are some other signs that indicate their presence and the need for flea control
- If you notice your pets scratching more than usual, it might be time to check them for fleas. Focus on areas behind their ears and along their back, as these are common spots for fleas to hang out. Severe flea problems can also lead to hair loss in pets because they scratch and bite at their skin so much.
- Keep an eye out for small black specks or tiny white eggs on your pet’s skin, bedding, or places where it likes to rest. These could be signs of flea dirt and eggs.
- If you or anyone in your home is getting unexplained red bumps or itching, especially around your ankles or legs, it could be from flea bites.
Effective Flea Prevention Measures
The best way to prevent fleas or other pests from entering your home is to maintain cleanliness. You must regularly vacuum carpets, rugs, and upholstery to pick up any fleas, eggs, or larvae that might be lurking. Don’t forget to vacuum areas where your pets spend a lot of time, like their beds and favourite spots. After vacuuming, throw away the vacuum bag or empty the canister outdoors to ensure fleas don’t find their way back into your home.
Since your pets are a primary target for fleas, maintaining their hygiene is also advised. Bathe and groom your pets often using pet-friendly shampoos and grooming products designed to repel or kill fleas. It’s best to consult with your vet about the best flea prevention treatments for your pets.
Flea Treatment by TPC
In most cases, our flea exterminators start by treating your home with flea bombs and foggers. These products help cover large areas, reaching spots where fleas like to hide, including carpets, furniture, and other surfaces. They’re effective at killing fleas on contact and are an essential part of our treatment strategy.
If the infestation is severe, we may use insecticides designed to target fleas at various stages of their life cycle. We may also carry out flea fumigation if necessary. Such treatments help toll adult fleas and prevent eggs and larvae from developing into new fleas.
For a more intensive approach, we use heat treatment to get rid of fleas. This method involves raising the temperature in your home to a level that’s lethal for fleas and their eggs. It’s a very effective way to eliminate fleas from your environment, especially in places like carpets and upholstery, where fleas can hide and breed.
Effective Flea Pest Control: Our Step-By-Step Method
We know how annoying fleas can be, and we’re here to make your life easier with a clear, effective plan to tackle them. Our team begins the process with a detailed inspection of your home to pinpoint where fleas are hiding. We check all the usual spots, like carpets, furniture, and pet bedding, and look for signs like flea dirt or eggs. This helps us understand how bad the infestation is and decide on the best way to treat it.
After we’ve identified the problem areas, we create a customised treatment plan just for you. We choose the proper methods and products based on the severity of the infestation and the layout of your home.
Next, we carry out the treatment process as mentioned in the plan. We aim to cover all the bases to ensure we get rid of fleas from every corner of your home.
Once the treatment is done, we don’t just leave you hanging. We share some useful tips on how you can clean your home and keep these pests away.
