Flea Pest Control

Controlling Fleas In Modesto

Effective Flea Control Solutions for Your Home in Modesto & Beyond

One of the worst epidemics in recorded human history was the Black Death in medieval Europe, caused by the bubonic plague. About 1/3 of the population died from this disease, which was carried by rats bearing fleas infected with the disease. While the plague still appears in rare modern cases, it can be treated successfully if caught early enough.

At OnStar Pest Control, we understand the severity of flea infestations and the importance of acting quickly. If you remember the old adage—“If you see one flea, your house is infested”—then you already know how critical it is to address the issue immediately. When you consider the typical infestation breakdown (5% adults, 10% cocoons, 35% larvae, and the remaining 50% eggs), it’s clear why simply treating the visible adults will not solve the problem. 

We take a comprehensive approach to flea control, targeting all stages of the flea life cycle for long-lasting results. Scroll to the bottom of the page for more information.

The Life Cycle of Fleas

  • The first stage in the life of the flea is the egg, and the fact that a female adult can lay eggs every hour helps the average homeowner understand why controlling fleas is a true nightmare. These eggs can be laid on a host (usually a family pet, an invading raccoon or squirrel)  or inside your home on your carpet.  These eggs hatch anywhere from 1 to 6 days, depending on the temperature and humidity. If the conditions are not ideal for hatching, an egg can lie dormant for up to one year.
  • The second stage in the development of a flea is the larval stage.  Once again, the surrounding temperature and level of light allows for a range of hatching time to be present.  The larvae burrow into the host or your carpet, and you don’t need to worry about feeding them as the larvae feed off of the excrement of the adult fleas which feed off the blood of the host.  Larvae are sensitive to light and humidity and thrive in moist, shady areas.

How Fleas Impact Your Home & Health

Fleas aren’t just a nuisance for your pets—they can affect the health of your entire household. Left unchecked, a flea infestation can lead to significant discomfort and even health risks. Here's why addressing a flea problem immediately is essential:

  • Flea Bites: Fleas feed on blood, and their bites can cause itching, allergic reactions, and skin irritation for both pets and humans.
  • Disease Transmission: Fleas can spread dangerous diseases, including the plague, tapeworms, and flea-borne typhus, putting your family and pets at risk.
  • Contamination: A flea infestation can severely damage your carpets, furniture, and pet bedding, creating an unhealthy environment in your home.
  • Increased Stress: Constant flea exposure can lead to anxiety for pets and owners alike, disrupting the peace and comfort of your home.

Taking immediate action is vital to protect both your home and health. At OnStar Pest Control, we offer professional flea control services to eliminate fleas at every stage of their life cycle, ensuring long-term results.

Flea Management in Oakdale, California

An adult flea can live for about 6 months, constantly feeding off of its host, mating, and depositing eggs. This vicious cycle should be interrupted early on to control the infestation and prevent future generations from thriving. OnStar Pest Control provides expert services in Modesto, Oakdale, Manteca, and surrounding areas to tackle even the most challenging flea infestations.

Our customers trust us to eliminate fleas at every life stage, including eggs and larvae that are difficult to control, especially in thick carpets. One female flea, capable of laying countless eggs, must be hunted down and destroyed for lasting peace in your home.

When you schedule your initial treatment, it's important to follow specific steps for the best results. Take your pets to a groomer or veterinarian to treat them for active fleas, eggs, larvae, and cocoons. It's essential to place them on flea prevention medication to avoid re-infestation. Additionally, ensure that your carpets are thoroughly vacuumed no more than 1 hour before our arrival to expose more fleas to our treatments.

Don't delay in starting a maintenance program to ensure your home remains flea-free. Fleas go through 4 distinct life cycles, and you need to address all stages in order to truly eliminate the problem. Let OnStar Pest Control help you get long-term relief.
