Fleas are a common nuisance for pet owners and homeowners in Maryland. These tiny pests can cause significant discomfort for humans and animals, making effective flea control essential. Bug Squashers of Maryland offers comprehensive flea treatment solutions using the safest and most effective methods. In this blog, we will explore our approach to flea treatment, including liquid residual insecticides, insect growth regulators, and aerosols for quick knockdown.
Understanding fleas' life cycles is crucial to treating them effectively. Fleas go through four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The adult fleas bite and cause immediate discomfort. However, the eggs, larvae, and pupae are often hidden in carpets, bedding, and furniture, making them harder to eliminate without professional intervention.
Our primary method for controlling adult fleas is using liquid residual insecticides. These insecticides are designed to remain effective for an extended period, providing ongoing protection against fleas. When applied, the residual insecticides create a barrier that kills adult fleas on contact. This method effectively reduces the immediate flea population in your home, ensuring that you and your pets can enjoy a flea-free environment.
In addition to controlling adult fleas, addressing the other stages of the flea life cycle is essential. Insect growth regulators (IGRs) are crucial to our flea treatment strategy. IGRs prevent larvae from maturing into adult fleas by disrupting their development process. This interruption effectively breaks the flea life cycle, preventing new generations of fleas from emerging and infesting your home.
If you have a history of flea infestations, we can pre-treat your home with IGRs to prevent the life cycle from starting. This proactive approach is particularly beneficial in households with pets or those living in areas prone to flea infestations. By addressing the problem before it starts, we can help you maintain a flea-free home year-round.
In some cases, immediate relief from flea bites is necessary. To quickly knock down flea populations, we use aerosols that provide fast-acting results. These aerosols are designed to eliminate fleas on contact, providing rapid relief from bites and reducing the immediate flea population. While aerosols are effective for quick knockdown, they are typically used with residual insecticides and IGRs to ensure comprehensive flea control.
