At LaJaunie’s Pest Control, we notice that signs of a flea infestation include seeing fleas hopping on your furniture, pets, or even you. You might also see flea dirt, which looks like small black dots, on pet bedding or carpets. Another sign is if your pets are scratching more than usual. If you’re in New Orleans and notice these signs, you likely have a flea problem.

Fleas can make your pets and family uncomfortable. Your pets might scratch excessively, leading to hair loss or skin infections. For family members, flea bites can be itchy and painful and, in some cases, lead to allergic reactions. Since we’re in New Orleans, the warm climate can make flea infestations more common, so it’s important to address the issue quickly.

To prevent flea infestations, keep your pets on regular flea prevention treatments. At LaJaunie’s Pest Control, we also recommend vacuuming your home frequently, washing pet bedding in hot water weekly, and keeping your yard trimmed and free of debris. These steps can significantly reduce the risk of fleas making themselves at home in your New Orleans residence.

LaJaunie’s Pest Control uses a comprehensive approach to flea control in New Orleans. We start with a thorough inspection to identify hotspots. Then, we treat outdoor areas with Bifen and Crosscheck granules. Indoors, we apply a liquid treatment along baseboards and use aerosols on floors and pet areas. We ensure our methods are effective against fleas while being safe for your family and pets.

Yes, LaJaunie’s Pest Control ensures that our flea treatments are safe for both pets and children. We use products that are effective against fleas but have a low impact on mammals.

After a flea treatment from LaJaunie’s Pest Control, you might notice an increase in flea activity as the treatment agitates the fleas.

Yes, at LaJaunie’s Pest Control, we ask that your home be vacant during the flea treatment process. This is for your safety and to ensure that the treatment can dry properly without any disturbances. The products need approximately 2-3 hours to dry, and you and your pets need to stay away during this time to avoid exposure to the treatment chemicals. Once dry, it’s safe to return to your home.

Preparing your home for flea treatment is crucial for the effectiveness of the service. At LaJaunie’s Pest Control, we recommend removing all items from the floor, vacuuming carpets thoroughly, and disposing of the vacuum bag immediately. Sweep and mop your floors, and ensure your pets are treated for fleas on the same day as the treatment. We’ll provide you with a detailed flea prep sheet once you schedule your service to make sure nothing is missed.
