Flea Control

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.

Common fleas in our area

  • Cat flea

    Ctenocephalides felis

    Look for
    A tiny wingless insect that can jump several inches high; it's the flea most often found on both dogs and cats.
    Where you'll find it
    Rides on pets and develops in the carpets, rugs and bedding where pets rest.

Signs you have them

  • Tiny black specks (flea dirt) in pet bedding or fur
  • Small dark insects jumping on carpet, rugs or pet bedding
  • Fleas on socks or pant legs after walking through a room

Where they're found

Fleas come in on pets and wildlife and live in pet bedding, carpets, rugs and upholstered furniture, and outdoors in shady spots where animals rest.

How Liberty treats it

Starts with a free inspection
  1. 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.

  2. 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.
  3. 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.

I’m currently in the process of buying a home, and after our initial inspection, we were told there might be termite damage. We first contacted a large national pest control company hoping to get a quick inspection and quote for negotiation purposes. Unfortunately, they scheduled us for Friday and never showed up. They then rescheduled for Monday and didn't show up again, and the same thing happened on Tuesday. By that point, we had wasted nearly a week of our two-week inspection period and only had two days left. That’s when we called Liberty Pest Control. I explained our situation, and Trai promptly reached out and was able to fit us into his schedule. From the start, he was professional, friendly, communicative, and genuinely helpful. He confirmed the appointment, kept me updated on his arrival time, and called me personally when the report was complete to walk me through his findings. The level of customer service was outstanding, especially after the frustrating experience we had elsewhere. Trai made a stressful situation much easier and gave us the information we needed within our tight timeline. I would 100% recommend Trai and Liberty Pest Control to anyone needing a home inspection or pest services. I was extremely impressed with the company, and once we move into our new home, Liberty Pest Control will be the first company I call for ongoing pest control services.

Huge shoutout to Liberty Pest Control for their outstanding service! Today Trei Bisher stopped by for our service, and the experience was top-notch from start to finish. First off, the truck pulled into the driveway and I have to say… WOW. The design looks fantastic. It’s clean, professional, and really shows that Liberty Pest Control takes pride in their presentation. But the service itself is what really stood out. Trei didn’t just show up and rush through the job. He took the time to touch base with me first to make sure he had all the correct information about what I needed. He clearly explained what he was going to be doing and even mentioned another service option they offer.. but in a helpful way, not pushy at all. Another thing I really appreciated was how respectful he was of my workspace. Since I work remotely, it was important that my day wasn’t interrupted. Trei moved efficiently from area to area, getting everything done without interfering with my work at all. Professional, respectful, and thorough service like this is exactly why companies like Liberty Pest Control stand out. If you’re looking for reliable pest control with great people behind the work, they’re definitely worth calling.

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.
