Fleas are one of the most common pest infestations that Sacramento area homeowners may find themselves facing. Fleas need blood to survive and they’re always on the hunt for it. They are highly capable of sensing animals and humans when they are near and will seek to immediately hop on for a meal. If you have pets, fleas can easily make their way onto them when your pets are outside, and can then ride them into your house. Flea bites can be painful and irritating, and fleas are relentless.
If you need flea pest control in Sacramento, Explorer Pest Management professionals can help. We have all of the knowledge and experience that we need in order to get rid of fleas.
How To Tell If It's Fleas In Your Home
Flea infestations are easier to eliminate when you discover them earlier. Here are some ways to identify fleas:
Fleas are small, about the size of the tip of a ball-point pen. Though small, fleas have six long legs that help them jump far; they are flightless and prefer to jump to get on hosts. Fleas have an oval body shape when viewed from the side and where some pests have soft bodies fleas are well armored.

Fleas Can Be Hazardous To The Health Of People And Pets
Fleas in Sacramento can deliver painful bites to you and your pets. They are associated with flea bite dermatitis, which is caused by an allergic reaction to their bites. Fleas are also associated with tapeworms in pets, caused when your pets unintentionally swallow fleas while grooming themselves. In advanced infestations, fleas can make your pets break out into open sores.

The Best Way To Completely Get Rid Of A Flea Infestation
Flea infestations have a high rate of recurrence. One of the reasons for this is that fleas have a high importation rate and can easily ride you or your pets into your home. Unlike other pests, fleas do not anchor their eggs, instead laying them everywhere. If fleas lay eggs on your pet, your pet will naturally spread flea eggs everywhere they go. These eggs can survive for weeks and then hatch when conditions are right.
