Flea extermination

When to choose extermination

• When you need full removal of an existing infestation, not just prevention.
• When targeted treatment hasn't been enough or the problem has returned.
• When you want a comprehensive, one-time approach to get rid of pests for good.
• For recurring pest problems that require a stronger extermination plan.

Why this matters for homeowners

A serious infestation can affect your health, your peace of mind, and the value of your home. Rodents and insects can carry disease, trigger allergies, and damage wiring, insulation, and structure. Half measures or DIY attempts often leave pockets of pests or eggs. A full flea extermination addresses the root cause so you can get your home back to normal.

What to expect from extermination

• A thorough inspection to confirm the pest, the extent of the infestation, and where pests are entering or living.
• A detailed plan that may include multiple methods (baits, sprays, exclusion, etc.) and one or more visits.
• Execution of the plan with appropriate products and techniques; you'll get instructions on prep and re-entry.
• Follow-up or a warranty period to confirm the infestation is gone and to retreat if needed.

Common questions about pest extermination

What's the difference between treatment and extermination?

Treatment usually targets a specific pest with a defined approach; extermination is a more comprehensive, full-removal service that may involve multiple visits and methods to eliminate the infestation entirely.

How long does extermination take?

It varies by pest and severity. Some jobs are done in a day or two; others (e.g., bed bugs, termites) may require several visits over weeks. Your provider will outline the timeline.

Will I need to leave my home during extermination?

It depends on the product and the area being treated. Many treatments allow you to stay home with brief re-entry times; others may require you to leave for a few hours. Your exterminator will tell you what's required.

Do you offer a warranty or guarantee?

Many extermination services include a warranty or follow-up period. Ask your provider what's included and under what conditions they will return to retreat.
