P.W.I Pest Solutions

Helps You Keep Your Home Safe from Fleas

Fleas are a common nuisance for many homeowners, especially in warmer months. These tiny pests not only cause discomfort to pets but can also infest carpets, furniture, and bedding. Effective and affordable flea prevention by P.W.I Pest Solutions is key to maintaining a clean and healthy home environment. Here’s how you can tackle flea prevention for home affordably and effectively.

Understanding Flea Prevention

Flea prevention starts with understanding the lifecycle of fleas. Fleas go through four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Eggs hatch into larvae, which then develop into pupae before emerging as adult fleas. To effectively prevent fleas, it’s essential to target all stages of their lifecycle.

Regular Cleaning and Vacuuming

One of the most affordable and effective ways to prevent fleas is through regular cleaning and vacuuming. Vacuum carpets, rugs, and upholstery frequently, especially in areas where pets spend time. Pay close attention to corners, cracks, and underneath furniture where fleas and their eggs may hide. Dispose of vacuum bags or clean the vacuum canister regularly to prevent re-infestation.

What They Have to Say!

Our Customer Testimonials

"My fiancé had been hearing some scratching noises in our attic for a few weeks. After trying to treat the issue ourselves, we threw in the towel and I called PWI . I was able to call them on a wed and they were here that Friday. They were able to answer all the questions my fiancé and I both had. They took the time to explain the type of poison they were using, and where they were putting it. ( we have two dogs and we’re nervous of them getting into it.) We were also encouraged to call if we had any issues. PWI will be our go-to for pest removal in the future!"

He even helped us trouble shoot our barn and chicken coop- which are a heaven for rodents. Bob came weekly early on to make sure we were getting ahead of the problem and was even available by text if we had any concerns. Always professional and very thorough in his work. Keeping him on to help us keep those rodents from coming back!"

Washing Pet Bedding and Linens

Washing pet bedding and linens regularly in hot water helps kill fleas, larvae, and eggs. Use a detergent that is safe for pets and wash items on the hottest setting recommended for the fabric. If possible, dry bedding on high heat as the heat will further aid in killing fleas.

Grooming Pets Regularly

Regular grooming is crucial for flea prevention in pets. Comb your pets with a fine-toothed flea comb to remove fleas and their eggs from their fur. Use a flea preventative recommended by your veterinarian to protect your pets from fleas year-round. Keeping pets clean and healthy reduces the likelihood of a flea infestation in your home.
