Fleas

Fleas are a nuisance to their hosts, causing an itching sensation which in turn frequently results in the host attempting to remove the pest by biting, pecking, scratching, etc. Fleas are not simply a source of annoyance, however. Some people and animals suffer allergic reactions to flea saliva, resulting in rashes and other skin irritations. Flea bites generally result in the formation of a slightly raised, swollen itching spot with a single puncture point at the centre (not unlike a mosquito bite).

Allowing pets such as cats or dogs to roam freely in your home increases significantly the chances of a flea infestation. Even though you may think you’re taking good care of your pet, fleas have an unerring ability to defeat even the most conscientious pet lover. They can infiltrate your pet’s blood supply, feasting on their good health while your pet effectively wastes away with flea-induced diseases. A flea infestation is a serious issue that demands a rapid response, preferably by means of a fast-acting solution that is not only efficient in eradicating the parasite but is also safe for you and your pet. At Central Pest Control, our experienced and qualified experts are fully equipped to deal with even the most serious flea infestation.
