#1 Flea Exterminator Chicagoland
Chicagoland Flea Control
Our Chicagoland customers know that fleas can be a big problem regardless of if you have pets. Fleas are blood-sucking pests that come into your home from the outside and begin to reproduce. The warmer the environment, the faster they multiply. Once fleas become a big problem, they are frustrating because they are hearty and difficult to exterminate without the proper treatment. Bigfoot has the best eco-friendly treatments to exterminate all fleas in all stages of life, so the problem goes away fast.
Bigfoot responds promptly and exterminates fleas efficiently and quickly so you can get your life back to normal!
Bigfoot Pest Control Knows Fleas
These gross bugs are 1/10 of an inch long and reddish brown. Fleas jump and have rigid exoskeletons, which lends itself to infestations becoming big problems fast in Chicagoland. Central heating in homes and buildings, along with carpet, creates an ideal environment for fleas to thrive and multiply. Adult fleas live for several weeks and feed on pets ten times daily!
Flea infestations have a combination of eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. These pests use signals from a blood host (you and your pets) through vibrations, sounds, and heat. These stimuli trigger fleas to act and bite. Fleas lay up to 300 eggs in a week, which is why so many people go from a small problem to a huge infestation when they don’t act quickly at the first signs of fleas.
Exterminating Fleas in Chicagoland to Prevent Disease
Fleas are pests that are not only annoying and hard to get rid of on your own, but they also carry disease. Fleas carry parasites and diseases because they continue to feed off of blood hosts. Some diseases that fleas carry are anemia, bubonic plague, cat scratch fever, flea allergy dermatitis, tapeworms, tularemia, tungiasis, and typhus. It is essential to exterminate fleas as soon as there are signs. Waiting can lead to a bigger infestation and sickness in your home. Protect your family and pets by calling Bigfoot today. We offer free consultations and can do the inspection and treatment on the same day.
We encourage our Chicagoland residents to address concerns about fleas as soon as possible!
Bigfoot Helps Chicagoland Get Ahead of Fleas
We recommend our Chicagoland customers vacuum frequently to remove flea populations and disrupt egg laying. Keeping lawns groomed and free of debris and leaves can help control flea populations outdoors. We also suggest having pets that go outdoors on flea medicine, either prescribed by your veterinarian or used according to dose instructions on the packaging. Avoid walking pets through areas where they will likely be exposed to fleas, like wooded areas.
If you have a pet that spends time outside, keeping them from getting fleas on them is nearly impossible. However, you can take a proactive approach through flea treatments for your pet and home. Bigfoot offers relief for both indoors and outdoors. Bigfoot uses only pet—and people-friendly products for its treatments, so it is not necessary to leave for treatment. Bigfoot offers affordable treatment services that can be scheduled ahead, with packages available for convenience. We want every DuPage and Cook County customer to have a flea-free home!
