How To Tell If You Have A Flea Infestation In Your Home
Fleas can be difficult to identify. These tiny pests like to hide inside the fur of animals or items that resemble fur. If you have pets, watch them closely. If they scratch and bite their fur more frequently, use a comb to check them for fleas. While doing this, look for flea eggs and flea dirt as well. If you do not find fleas but have noticed bite marks on your body, check your carpets, clothing, and fabrics that resemble fur for signs of fleas.
Sometimes looking around for these pests is not enough to identify an infestation. Bring in our team if you want help identifying fleas or other common pests inside your home.

There are many health problems associated with flea bites. Although not all of these pests are harmful, many carry harmful diseases.
