Oftentimes, when a person is afflicted with a pest problem, people assume it’s due to poor hygiene or housekeeping skills. Unfortunately, this is not true! While some pests thrive and feed on leftover scraps of food or dust, even the cleanest of us can have problems with cockroaches or even fleas. In South Raleigh, North Carolina, we live in an environment with a lot of other living things, many of which can transmit fleas to your home without you even realizing. There are several things that can signify to you that you might have a problem with fleas. Here are just a couple of the most common symptoms that might merit flea control services:
- Itchy bites. One of the biggest indicators of flea problems is a lot of itching and scratching! This can be on you or you also might notice it in your pet. Fleas love furry mammals, and anything from a dog, cat, mouse or human will suffice for their needs. Be sure to check with your doctor, however, before diagnosing yourself with itchy flea bites!
- Visual clues. Fleas are tiny, but they still leave clues behind that are visible to the naked eye. You might see the actual adult fleas, either on your pets, yourself, or bedding. You might also find flea eggs under bedding or on mattress seams. Another indicator is flea feces, which are described as looking like ground black pepper.
