About This Pest
Why They're Here
Fleas usually arrive on pets, but they can also hitch a ride on wildlife passing through your yard. Once inside, they can reproduce quickly in carpet fibers and upholstered furniture.
What to Watch For
Pets scratching more than usual, tiny dark jumping insects on pet bedding or furniture, and small itchy bites — often around ankles.

Our Natural Approach
Targeted Treatment
We use targeted, least-toxic treatments — botanical and mineral-based as the primary approach — to address the source of the problem, not just the symptoms. Our approach focuses on long-term results, not quick fixes.
Family-Conscious Formulas
Our primary toolkit is botanical and mineral-based, formulated to minimize risk to your family and pets. No synthetic pyrethroid sprays. Products are either EPA 25(b) exempt (essential-oil based) or EPA-registered minimum-risk pesticides (silica gel, borate).
How You Can Help
  • Keep pets on a regular vet-recommended flea prevention program.
  • Wash pet bedding weekly in hot water.
  • Vacuum carpets, rugs, and upholstered furniture frequently.
  • Mow your lawn regularly and trim overgrown vegetation in the yard.
Family & Pet Considerations
Our treatments use botanical and mineral-based products to minimize risk to your family — children and pets included. Products are either EPA 25(b) exempt or EPA-registered minimum-risk. If we ever recommend an EPA-registered escalation product, we'll show you the label and explain it before applying.
