FAQ
Fleas & Ticks: common questions
Why are fleas back after I treated my pet?
Most of a flea population lives as eggs and larvae in carpets and bedding, so the home usually needs treating too.
How do I know if I have fleas in my house?
Pets scratching, small itchy bites around ankles, and tiny dark specks (flea dirt) in pet bedding or carpets.
Can fleas live in the house without pets?
For a while, yes. Fleas can hatch from carpets and furniture weeks after a pet has gone.
Where do ticks hide in the yard?
In tall grass, leaf litter, woodpiles and the shady edges where lawns meet woods.
Do you do the treatment yourselves?
No. EmergencyExterminators is a referral service. The pest control company you speak with does the work and agrees the details with you directly.
