Fleas
Clear clutter from all floor surfaces so our technician can treat them properly. Pick up items on carpets and closet floors, as well as under beds and furniture. Vacuum your carpets, rugs and furniture, including under cushion and upholstered furniture. Dispose of vacuum bag immediately, to get rid of immature and adult fleas. Clean basement and garage floors with soap and water if pet spends time in these areas. Pay particular attention to floor/wall junctures. Clean pet's bedding the day of the treatment to remove fleas. Be sure to tell the technician where the pet's bedding and resting areas are so they can be thoroughly treated. If the pet sleeps on the bed, strip and clean bedding the day of the treatment. Remove and wash all blankets and sheets from all beds in the household. Leave them off of the beds until treatment is completed. Treat your pet!

species of fleas exist. The most recent survey of fleas in Missouri showed the presence of at least 26 species. In addition, 11 species found in adjacent states are expected to cross into Missouri. Fortunately, humans encounter only a few of these species. The most common species of fleas in Missouri is the cat flea. The homeowner usually encounters other species, such as the dog flea, human flea, oriental rat flea and rodent fleas, only occasionally. Fleas are medically important because of their irritating bites, abundance, worldwide distribution and ability to transmit diseases.
