Flea Control

control Many people believe that fleas will invade a home by catching a ride on a family pet like a cat or dog. Using a flea collar or other medication to help your pet repel fleas can work, but if you forget to change the collar as it gets older, or forget to apply the medication, your pets may have an increased chance of bringing these pests home with them. However, fleas may also come in by attaching themselves to you or your family members when you have spent time outdoors.

Fleas pose problems for pets and humans. Fleas can cause itchy rashes which may also cause severe allergic reactions for people who are susceptible to them. Fleas can cause problems both inside your house, and outside in your yard, which is why you need comprehensive flea control that will not only eliminate them throughout your property, but will also lessen the chance of them finding an easy way to infest your home.

Our expert flea control technicians can inspect your home and determine what type of pest is bothering you. The free inspection includes an estimate along with a treatment plan specifically designed for your needs. Contact EcoTek today to schedule your flea inspection.
