Flea Control
GGA provides expert flea extermination, offering complete removal and long-term prevention.
Best Flea Pest Control
Fleas are a common insect problem for homes and businesses, spreading diseases and causing uncomfortable bites. Store-bought sprays and flea collars might kill a few fleas, but they don’t eliminate the eggs and larvae waiting to hatch.
GGA is an expert flea exterminator, focusing on complete removal and long-term prevention. Whether fleas come from pets, wildlife, or outdoor areas, we use proven methods to stop infestations at the source and keep them from returning.
If fleas have invaded your home or business, we’re ready to help.
Problems Caused by Fleas:
While fleas may seem like a minor problem, an infestation can quickly become overwhelming without professional treatment. Understanding how fleas cause issues is the first step in getting rid of them for good.
Flea Bites
Fleas survive by feeding on blood and biting animals and humans. Their bites cause discomfort and skin reactions, while pets may experience excessive scratching and irritation.
Fleaborne Diseases
Flea bites can spread harmful bacteria and parasites. They transmit murine typhus, which causes fever and body aches, and cat scratch disease, which leads to infections. Fleas also carry tapeworms that infect pets and humans and, in rare cases, may spread plague bacteria.
Pet Health Risks
Fleas can trigger flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) in pets, leading to severe skin irritation, infections, and hair loss. Constant scratching increases the risk of wounds and secondary infections.
Home Contamination
Flea eggs, larvae, and pupae settle in carpets, furniture, and floor cracks, remaining dormant until the right conditions trigger hatching. Without proper treatment, new fleas will continue to emerge.
Infestation Growth
Fleas reproduce quickly, with a single female laying dozens of eggs per day. If not addressed early, a small flea problem can become a widespread infestation within weeks.
Learn More About Flea Management:
Flea infestations occur when the right conditions allow them to spread. Understanding what causes fleas, how to treat them properly, and what steps to take to prevent them helps keep them under control.
Causes of Flea Infestations
- Untreated Outdoor Areas: Fleas live outdoors in yards, gardens, patios, and shaded areas with tall grass, leaves, or organic debris. If outdoor flea populations are not controlled, infestations will continue to return, even after the home is treated.
- Pets and Wildlife: Dogs and cats are the most common way fleas enter homes, but wildlife such as stray animals, rodents, raccoons, squirrels, and opossums can also introduce fleas into yards.
- Human and Pet Movement: Fleas can attach to clothing, shoes, and bags, and spread easily between locations. Even a single flea can lay eggs and start a new infestation.
Flea Treatment
- Sanitation: Regular vacuuming helps remove flea eggs, larvae, and pupae from carpets, furniture, and cracks in flooring. Steam cleaning also effectively kills fleas at all life stages, making it a useful tool for severe infestations.
- Pet Treatment: Every pet in the home must be treated simultaneously to prevent fleas from moving between hosts. Veterinarian-approved flea medications, shampoos, and combing help remove fleas and prevent their spread.
- Indoor Treatment: Applying residual insecticides and insect growth regulators (IGRs) to carpets, furniture, and pet bedding helps kill adult fleas and prevent new ones from developing.
- Outdoor Treatment: Treating outdoor areas helps eliminate fleas before they enter the home. Targeting spots where pets and wildlife frequent reduces flea populations and lowers the risk of infestations returning.
- Professional Services: Hiring a professional is the best approach to flea control. Licensed experts use industry-approved treatments that are more effective than DIY solutions.
Flea Prevention
- Pet Flea Prevention: Routine grooming, flea combing, and bathing help catch flea problems early. Veterinarian-recommended flea preventatives should be used year-round to keep fleas from returning.
- Yard Maintenance: Keeping grass trimmed, removing leaf piles, and reducing moisture makes outdoor areas less attractive to fleas and helps prevent infestations.
- Sealing Entry Points: Closing gaps around windows, doors, and foundations keeps wildlife and rodents from bringing fleas indoors. Blocking entry points reduces the risk of infestations before they start.

Frequently Asked Questions
Signs of a cockroach infestation include seeing live or dead cockroaches, finding their droppings (which resemble coffee grounds or black pepper), noticing a musty odor, and discovering egg cases (oothecae) in hidden areas such as under sinks, behind appliances, and in pantries.
The time it takes to eradicate cockroaches can vary based on the extent of the infestation, the type of cockroaches, and the methods used. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Consistent treatment and follow-up are crucial for effective elimination.
Permanent removal of cockroaches involves a combination of professional extermination, diligent sanitation, and preventive measures. This includes sealing entry points, maintaining a clean environment, managing garbage and food storage properly, and regular monitoring for signs of activity.
Preventing cockroach infestations requires keeping your home clean and free of food debris, fixing leaks and eliminating moisture sources, sealing cracks and openings to block entry points, and regularly inspecting and cleaning dark and damp areas where cockroaches might hide.
While DIY methods can provide temporary relief, they often fail to address the root of the problem. For more persistent or large-scale infestations, seek professional pest control services. Professionals can provide more effective and long-term solutions, including specialized treatments and equipment not available to the public.
