Darrell did an excellent job. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. I was satisfied with him and the whole Liberty team. Will recommend them to friends and family. Nice, professional and very good at keeping you up to date with times and schedules.
Flea Control for Homes and Businesses
Fleas are tiny jumping insects that come in on pets and wildlife and live in carpets and pet bedding. They aren't part of Liberty's plans, so flea treatment starts with a free inspection.
How to identify
- Tiny, dark reddish-brown insects about ⅛ inch long.
- Bodies flattened from side to side, with no wings.
- Strong back legs for jumping long distances.

Where they're found

How Liberty treats it
Starts with a free inspection
Inspection
Flea treatment starts with a free inspection. A local Service Advisor does a thorough inspection to see how bad the problem is, which rooms have fleas and what's bringing them in, like pets, wildlife or stray animals resting near the house.
Treatment
- Treat carpets and furnitureYour Service Specialist treats carpets, rugs, upholstered furniture and the places where pets sleep.
- Growth regulatorThey add a growth regulator, which helps stop flea eggs and young fleas from growing into adults.
- Yard treatmentOutside, they treat shady spots where pets and animals rest, like under decks and porches.
Follow-up
Your Service Specialist comes back for follow-up visits as needed, since flea eggs can hatch after the first treatment. Fleas aren't part of our plans, but a pest control plan, with visits every 3 months, helps keep everyday pests like ants, spiders and crickets away.

DIY prevention tips
- Vacuum carpets, rugs and furniture often, especially where pets sleep.
- Wash pet bedding regularly.
- Ask your vet about flea care for your pets.
- Close off openings under porches, decks and crawl spaces so wildlife and strays can't den there and leave fleas behind.
- Call a wildlife professional if raccoons, opossums or other animals are already living under or in the house.
Common questions
Are fleas covered by my plan?
No. Fleas aren't part of our plans. They start with a free inspection.
Where do fleas come from?
Fleas usually come in on pets, or on wildlife like raccoons, opossums and stray animals that spend time near a home.
How do I know if I have fleas?
Look for tiny dark insects jumping on carpet or pet bedding, black specks called flea dirt in your pet's fur, and pets scratching more than usual. Fleas may also jump onto your socks when you walk through a room.
Can fleas live in my house without pets?
Yes, for a while. Fleas can come in on wildlife or stray animals near the house, and eggs can hatch in carpets and furniture even after a pet is gone.
How can I keep fleas out of my home?
Vacuum carpets and furniture often, wash pet bedding and ask your vet about flea care for your pets. Keep wildlife from nesting under decks and porches.
