Fleas. The word itself may send shivers down any pet owner’s spine. These small, jumping insects are more than just a nuisance; they can cause severe discomfort and health issues for your pets. We at Rice’s Termite & Pest Control understand the annoyance and anxiety that come with a flea infestation. That is why we provide excellent flea treatment services to get rid of fleas and keep them away permanently. Our skilled team is dedicated to comprehensive flea control and restoring peace in your home.
Do you have fleas?
Fleas are tiny, wingless insects that feed on the blood of warm-blooded animals. They are typically seen on cats and dogs, but they can bite people. Detecting a flea problem early on is critical to avoiding a full-blown infestation. Common signs of a flea infestation include:
- Excessive Scratching: Your pet’s constant scratching is frequently the first indication of a flea infestation.
- Visible fleas and flea dirt: Fleas can be identified by tiny black specks on your pet’s fur or bedding, which resemble pepper. Using a flea comb can help identify and remove fleas and flea dirt from your pet.
- Skin irritation: Constant scratching and flea bites can cause red, irritated regions of skin.
- Restlessness: Pets may display strange behavior, such as chewing their tails or overgrooming.
The Dangers Of Flea Bites
Fleas are not merely a hygiene issue. They can cause several health problems for your pet, including:
- Tapeworm infection: Fleas can carry tapeworms, which can be transmitted to your pet if they eat a flea while grooming.
- Skin allergies: Flea bites can cause severe itching and irritation, resulting in scratching and possible subsequent infections.
- Anemia: Flea infestations can induce anemia, particularly in young or weak animals.
- Serious diseases: Fleas can transmit serious diseases like cat scratch disease, which pose a threat to pets, especially if they are young or have weakened immune systems.

- Wash your pet’s bedding and any other fabrics that might have fleas. Cleaning and sanitizing areas where flea larvae thrive, such as carpets and pet bedding, is crucial.
