Fleas Removal

Sting Pest Control uses multiple approaches. Depending on the degree of infestation, he combines the innovative myFlea trap monitoring unit with targeted spray treatments over two or three visits. Flea traps work by attracting and trapping adults within a unit with intermittent green light of a specific wavelength that has been shown to be highly attractive to fleas. One flea trap covers a radius of 12 meters.

Studies have shown that fleas are more attracted to changing light sources than to constant light sources. Fleas interpret changes in light as shadows of passing animals and instinctively follow them. This “shadow” technique makes fleas even more effective.

No matter how effective your flea control program is, if your pet continues to have fleas without receiving treatment at the same time, the fleas will invade your property again.

After the flea treatment is complete, there is a maintenance option to keep the flea trap on the premises as an effective monitoring tool, with regular visits by technicians to monitor and maintain the unit and prevent future flea problems. early warning.
