Why Choose Us for Flea Treatment in Elmhurst
Flea infestations require treating all life stages simultaneously — adult fleas are only about 5% of the population at any time, with eggs, larvae, and pupae hiding in carpets, furniture, and pet bedding making up the other 95%. Our treatment protocol covers all interior floor surfaces with a combination of adulticide (to kill adults on contact) and insect growth regulator (IGR) to prevent eggs and larvae from developing into biting adults. We treat pet resting areas with particular thoroughness, and advise on concurrent pet treatment with your veterinarian to prevent re-infestation from the animal. Our 30-day guarantee accounts for the 1–2 week pupal emergence period — if fleas persist, we re-treat.
