Flea Control on Cape Cod, MA

Fleas Often Arrive With Pets

Fleas are small, wingless insects that feed on blood. They often come into a home on a pet, then spread through carpets, pet bedding, and shaded yard areas. Cape Cod Mosquito Squad is locally owned and operated, serving Cape Cod since 2014 and fully licensed in Massachusetts (License AL-0054568).

Flea control is one of several pest control services we offer across the Cape.

How to Recognize Fleas

Adult fleas are small, flat, and reddish-brown, and they jump quickly when disturbed. Eggs and larvae are tiny and easy to miss, so check where pets sleep and rest. Look for these signs:

▸ Dark specks in your pet's fur or bedding

▸ Pets scratching, biting, or restless

▸ Small red bumps on people, often around the ankles and legs

▸ Small, pale, worm-like larvae in carpets and pet areas

Think you've found them? Request a free assessment online and we'll help confirm it.

Treat the Pet First

Fleas spread from pets into the home, so treating the pet is the first step. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health advises talking with your veterinarian about the best tick and flea control options for your pets, such as collars and repellents. Your veterinarian can recommend products suited to your pet's age, size, and health.

How Our Flea Treatment Works

We use EPA-registered products applied by trained technicians per label instructions. These products are non-toxic and environmentally protective. We also use 3 natural products for those who want an alternative approach.

Our trained technicians treat shaded lawn edges, shrub lines, and outdoor resting areas where fleas are most likely to be found, and they point out spots around the home where pets rest and sleep, so treatment reaches those areas too.

Between Treatments

Frequently Asked Questions About Flea Control on Cape Cod

Can Fleas Live on People?

Fleas can bite people, but they prefer animals. Bites on people often appear around the ankles and legs and usually itch.

Where Do Fleas Come From?

Fleas usually come into a home on a pet. Treating the pet and the areas where the pet rests works best together.

Can I Treat Fleas Myself?

Home products can help with the pet and the house, but fleas can return if the pet and the yard are not treated too. A professional inspection shows where fleas are resting on your property.

Should I Talk to My Veterinarian First?

Yes. Your veterinarian can recommend flea and tick products suited to your pet, and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health advises the same for tick control.

What Precautions Should I Take After Treatment?

We use EPA-registered products applied per label instructions, and your technician will go over any directions for the treated areas so you know what to expect before and after service.
