Fleas are small, wingless insects that are known for their ability to jump long distances and bite animals and humans. These pesky creatures can cause itching, skin irritation, and even transmit diseases. If you are living in Boise and struggling with flea infestations, you are not alone. Boise is home to a diverse range of animals, including cats, dogs, and rodents, that can bring fleas into your home.
The signs of a flea infestation include pets scratching or biting themselves excessively, finding small, reddish-brown insects on your pets or furniture, and the appearance of flea dirt (black, pepper-like specks) on your pet's fur or bedding.
You can prevent fleas from entering your home by keeping your pets clean and groomed, vacuuming your home regularly, washing pet bedding and blankets frequently, and sealing up any potential entry points, such as cracks or gaps in walls or floors.
To control flea infestations, you can use a variety of methods. These include flea collars, topical treatments, and oral medications for pets, as well as treating your home with insecticides, using flea traps, and washing all clothing, bedding, and furniture that may have come into contact with fleas.
The frequency of treating your home for fleas depends on the severity of the infestation. If you have a mild infestation, you may need to treat your home every two weeks until the fleas are gone. If you have a more severe infestation, you may need to treat your home every week for several months.
