FLEAS

Fleas are small, brownish-red insects whose bodies appear flat when viewed sidelong. They are parasites and therefore feed on blood, usually that of companion animals. The females lay eggs after a blood feeding, exacerbating the existing infestations. They can be found in areas frequented by an afflicted pet.

To control a flea infestation, any afflicted pets must be treated by a veterinarian in addition to the service provided by a pest control company. Fleas are a common problem for pet owners in York Region. York Pest Control can help with this.
