Jan 03, 2026

As a pet owner, you undoubtedly love your furry friends and want to do everything in your power to keep them healthy and happy. Unfortunately, one of the most common problems that pets face is fleas, and if left untreated, these pesky parasites can cause a whole host of health issues for your beloved pets. That's why it's essential to take proactive steps to keep your pets flea-free, and why it's critical to work with a reputable company, like Pest Control General Store to get the best professional-strength products to get the job done right.

Fleas are more than just an annoyance for pets; they can lead to serious health problems. Fleas can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, and even anemia in severe cases. Additionally, fleas can spread diseases, (remember the bubonic plague?), to both humans and pets. Fleas are also notorious for multiplying quickly, making it difficult to control an infestation once it's taken hold. Therefore, prevention is key when it comes to keeping your pets flea-free.

At Pest Control General Store, we understand how important it is to keep your home, yard and pets safe from fleas. That's why we offer a complete line of professional-strength insecticides and everything else you need to keep your home, lawn, and pets flea-free. We're staffed by professionals who can help guide you through the process of treating for fleas, ensuring that you're using the right products in the right way to get the best results.

Treating for fleas involves more than just treating your pet. Fleas live not only on pets but also in carpets, furniture, and other areas around your home. Therefore, to effectively combat a flea infestation, you need to treat your home, your lawn, and your pet simultaneously. Neglecting any one of these areas means you're fighting a losing battle.

When it comes to treating your home, it's important to thoroughly vacuume all carpets, flooring, furniture, and pet bedding. Vacuuming is an effective way to remove flea eggs and larvae from these areas, but it's important to dispose of the vacuum bag immediately afterward to prevent any live fleas from escaping. Additionally, treating your home with an insecticide designed to kill adult fleas, as well as an growth regulator to disrupt the reproduction process can be effective in reducing the population.

Your lawn can also be a breeding ground for fleas, so it's important to treat it as well. Fleas can live in shady, moist areas, so it's important to keep your lawn mowed, and leaf litter removed. Treating your lawn with an insecticide designed to kill fleas can help reduce their population and prevent new infestations from taking hold. Which means you and your pet won’t be bringing in healthy, vivacious, hungry fleas all over again.

Finally, it's important to treat your pet for fleas. Flea shampoos, topical treatments and pills, are all effective ways to kill fleas on your pet. However, it's essential to follow the product's instructions carefully, as using too much or too little can be ineffective or even dangerous for your pet.
