RELIABLE FLEA CONTROL SERVICES
FOR LAREDO, TX

If you have a dog or an outdoor cat, you might be well aware of the problem that fleas pose. The most common way fleas enter your home is via the underbelly of your furry friend. When your pet lays on the carpet or a rug, the fleas like to stay awhile and make themselves at home. Beyond pets, fleas can enter your home another way. They may hitchhike on an old piece of furniture, or clothing and skin of a person who has already been infested. If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of dealing with these unwanted guests, contact our team of professional exterminators. At Target Pest Control, we take pride in providing flea control services to the Laredo, TX community.

Signs You Have a Flea Problem

There are many obvious signs that you have a flea infestation in your home or on your pet. The ideal situation is to identify the fleas on your pet before they are brought into your home, but this isn’t always possible. Here are a few telltale signs that fleas are present:

  • Your pet is scratching - a lot: One of the top indicators that your cat or dog may have fleas is excessive scratching. When a flea bites your pet, it causes irritation and in turn constant scratching. It isn’t abnormal for your dog or cat to scratch itself, it is important to notice if it is happening for extended periods of time.
  • The white sock test: One effective way to detect fleas in your home is putting on a pair of white cotton socks and walking around. Walk around carpeted areas for about 10 minutes, if fleas are present they will hop on and hitch a ride. Carefully take off your socks and inspect them for fleas!
  • Itchy ankles: Fleas aren’t picky, they will bite you or your pet! If you notice bites around your ankles and knees, there's a good chance it is fleas. These bites will be very itchy and have one tiny puncture hole at the site of the bite. An important note, a spider bite looks similar but spider bites will have two puncture holes, not one.
