WHY CONTROL FLEAS?
If your pet is scratching more than usual or you’ve noticed small, itchy bites, fleas could be to blame. These tiny pests multiply fast, causing irritation, allergic reactions, and health risks for both pets and people.
Hiding in carpets, bedding, and furniture, fleas are tough to eliminate without professional help. That’s why Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management provides expert flea pest control in Des Moines, IA—to keep your home safe, comfortable, and flea-free.
1. Fleas Are Easy to Overlook Until It’s Too Late
Many infestations go unnoticed until fleas spread beyond pets and into carpets, furniture, and clothing. By the time bites appear, the problem is already bigger than it seems.
2. DIY Treatments Often Fail to Solve the Problem
Store-bought sprays and flea collars may reduce fleas temporarily but don’t eliminate eggs and larvae, leading to repeat infestations. Professional treatment targets fleas at every stage for lasting results.
3. Fleas Can Put Your Entire Household at Risk
Beyond causing itchy bites, fleas carry bacteria and parasites that can affect both pets and humans. Acting fast ensures your home stays safe and free from health risks.
FLEA CONTROL SERVICES
Fleas are persistent, but with the right approach, you can get rid of them for good. At Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management, we provide targeted solutions designed to eliminate fleas at every stage of their life cycle. Here’s how we ensure lasting results:
Important Notes:
To assist in the flea control process, here are some important steps you can take:
- 1
Wash Your Pets: Use a veterinary-approved flea shampoo to bathe your pets, which helps eliminate fleas on their bodies.
- 2
Clean Pet Bedding: Wash all bedding your pets use and dry it on high heat to reduce the flea population in your home.
- 3
Vacuum Regularly: Focus on flooring, furniture, baseboards, and the undersides of cushions to remove fleas and their eggs.
- 4
Avoid Flea Bombs: Refrain from using flea or bug bombs as they often miss hidden crevices where fleas thrive.

HOW TO SPOT FLEA ACTIVITY
Fleas can be tricky to detect, but recognizing the signs early is key to effective control. Be on the lookout for these common indicators:
1. Persistent Scratching
If your pets are scratching more than usual, it’s a sign that fleas might be present. Fleas cause irritation, leading pets to scratch excessively, often around the neck, ears, and tail.
2. Flea Dirt
Look for tiny black specks, known as flea dirt, on your pet’s fur or bedding. Flea dirt is actually flea feces and turns red when moistened, as it contains your pet’s blood.
3. Visible Fleas
You may notice small, dark brown insects moving quickly through your pet’s fur or jumping from surfaces. Fleas are often spotted during grooming or when your pet is resting.
