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.
