Flea Control Services
Flea control services target areas where fleas are most likely to live and reproduce, including pet resting areas, shaded lawns, and property edges where wildlife and rodents travel. By treating these high-risk zones, professional flea control helps reduce flea activity around your home and outdoor spaces.
Fleas are highly adaptable and can survive by remaining on animal hosts or in protected areas, which makes infestations easy to reintroduce without proper treatment. Professional flea control addresses the flea life cycle to help prevent ongoing issues.
Routine flea treatments provide consistent protection throughout the year, helping manage flea populations even as temperatures change and new hosts pass through your property.
We provide flea control services in Amelia Court House, Chester, Chesterfield, Colonial Heights, Henrico, Midlothian, Moseley, Powhatan, and surrounding areas in Virginia.

Did You Know?
Fleas have entertained more people than any other parasite known to man. In the late 1500's, watchmakers and jewelers showcased their superior craftsmanship by attaching a miniature chain and leash to a flea.
The flea's jumping power was then harnessed and turned into the flea circus phenomenon in the early 1800's, which is still enjoyed by many to this day. Although fleas can’t be taught anything except not to jump, they can be manipulated by heat, wind, repellants, and vibrations, or fastened to an object in order to perform tasks like tightrope walking, dancing, cart pulling, wheel spinning, and other fascinating feats. If you hear of a flea circus coming to a town near you, you may want to hop to it and enjoy!
