Fleas usually come in on pets, but they can also come from wildlife living under decks or in attics. Most fleas in a home are eggs and larvae in carpets and bedding, not on the pet. Empire Wildlife Control treats your home to break the flea life cycle.

Signs of Fleas
- Pets scratching more than usual
- Small itchy bites, often around ankles
- Tiny dark jumping insects on carpets or pet bedding
- Black specks (flea dirt) in pet bedding
Where Fleas Come From
Pets pick up fleas outside or from other animals. Raccoons, skunks or other wildlife living under a deck or in an attic can also bring fleas close to your home.
How We Treat It
We inspect, explain the plan and price, and treat carpets, furniture and pet areas. For best results, your pets should be treated by your vet at the same time. If wildlife is the source, we can also help with animal removal.
Prevention Tips
- Treat pets with vet-recommended flea prevention
- Vacuum often and empty the vacuum outside
- Wash pet bedding in hot water
- Keep wildlife out from under decks and sheds
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I still have fleas after treating my pet?
Most of the flea population lives in your home as eggs and larvae. The home needs treatment too.
