Flea & Carpet Beetle
Control Services
Fleas can be a real annoyance around our homes to both our pets and to us. They can quickly breed and infest our carpets, furniture and beds and their bites can result in symptoms ranging from a mild itch to a severe rash.

We have put Carpet Beetle control together with Flea control as a lot of Flea control recommendations are the same for Carpet Beetle.

It is the larvae of the beetle that does the damage to material and these are often in dark hidden places, often in another room to the adults. If you see grey cocoons on your ceiling you may have a beetle problem: normally people don't find they have a problem until their carpet has been eaten.

Why choose MD Pest Control / Jim's TTG ?

At MD Pest Control (Jim's TTG), we will conduct a thorough inspection to identify the source and extent of the problem, allowing us to effectively target our treatment to quickly eliminate the existing fleas and their eggs and to also prevent future problems from occurring. We only use the most effective treatment solutions available. Our methods are not only highly effective in eradicating and controlling household pests, but are safe for your family, pets and the environment.

Flea control often requires an" Integrated Pest Management Solution ". This means everything from frequent vacuuming every three days to Sprays and Powder. Fleas love to live under furniture, floorboards and in pet bedding. Outside they love humid, warm and dark environments.

Some Tips for Flea & Beetle prevention are -
  •  Carry out regular vacuuming
  •  Keep lawns short and yards tidy
  •  Wash pet beds weekly on a hot cycle
  •  Carry out a yearly General Pest Treatment
  • Carpet Beetles often feed on animal and human hair that collects on floors
  • Carpet Beetles will often be under furniture that has not been moved for a long time and has had no vacuuming done - I often find damaged carpet under heavy wooden furniture.

Interesting Human Flea Facts:
  • A human flea can jump about 20 centimetres high and about 150 times it's own length. This is the same as a man jumping 440 metres from a standing start.
  • Fleas appear to prefer Women to Men.
