How to identify fleas

Behavior and habits

Adults live on the animal; eggs and larvae develop in carpet, bedding, and shaded yard soil.

Why fleas are a problem

Itchy bites for pets and people, plus tapeworm transmission to pets.

How Antex handles fleas

Our technicians confirm the species first, because effective control depends on it. Then we treat the source: nesting sites, harborage, and the routes onto your property, using professional products applied precisely. If pests return between scheduled visits, we'll come back and address the issue at no additional cost.

Prevention tips

Keep pets on year-round vet-recommended prevention, vacuum frequently, and wash pet bedding hot.
