Complete Flea Control & Eradication Services

Say Goodbye to Fleas — Fast, Safe, and Guaranteed

Fleas may be small, but the problems they cause can quickly escalate. If you’ve noticed itchy bites, restless pets, or signs of flea dirt in your home, it’s time to take action. A&S Pest Control specializes in thorough, effective flea control services designed to eliminate existing infestations and prevent future outbreaks. Serving Hagerstown and the surrounding Maryland areas, we bring proven expertise and a local touch to every job.

Why Flea Infestations Are a Serious Problem

Fleas are more than a nuisance. They can:

​

  • Cause intense itching and allergic reactions in pets and people

  • Transmit tapeworms and other parasites

  • Multiply rapidly, with one female laying up to 50 eggs per day

  • Hide deep in carpets, bedding, cracks, and furniture

  • Survive for weeks without feeding

 

Without professional intervention, even a small flea issue can become a widespread infestation.

Our Proven Flea Control Process

At A&S Pest Control, we don’t just treat symptoms — we eliminate the source. Our comprehensive approach includes:

​

1. Thorough Inspection

We begin with a detailed inspection of your home or business, identifying hot spots like pet bedding, upholstered furniture, carpets, and baseboards.

 

2. Targeted Treatment

Using pet-safe and family-friendly products, we treat affected areas with precision. Our methods kill adult fleas and interrupt the life cycle to prevent reinfestation.

 

3. Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

We incorporate IPM techniques, including sanitation recommendations and follow-up visits, to make your space less hospitable to fleas over the long term.

 

4. Ongoing Prevention

We’ll guide you on how to maintain a flea-free home — from vacuuming routines to pet treatment advice and optional ongoing pest protection plans.

Flea Treatment for Homes with Pets

We understand how important your pets are — and how frustrating flea issues can be for them. Our technicians are trained to treat homes with animals safely and effectively. We’ll also work with you to coordinate any veterinary treatments needed for your pets to ensure complete eradication.

Frequently Asked Questions - Flea Control

  • Fleas are small, wingless parasites with powerful legs that allow them to jump long distances. Although they can’t fly, they move easily between pets, people, and upholstery. They feed on blood, leading to itchy bites, skin irritation, and potential allergic reactions in both humans and pets.
Even homes without current pets can get fleas, especially if previous occupants had animals or if wildlife/rodents enter the property.

  • You might suspect fleas if you notice:

    ​

    • Tiny, red, itchy bites on yourself or family members (often around ankles, legs, or where skin touches fabric)

    • Pets scratching, biting, or licking fur excessively

    • Flea “dirt” (tiny black specks) in pet bedding or around carpets

    • Small jumping insects on carpets, rugs, or upholstery

     

    If you see any of these signs, it’s wise to request a professional flea inspection.

  • No — treating the property alone is usually not enough. For effective flea eradication, you need to treat both your property (indoors and outdoors) and your pets (if applicable). Fleas reproduce quickly, and eggs or larvae in carpets, soil, or pet bedding can lead to recurring infestations.

     

    A professional approach targets all life stages (eggs, larvae, pupae, adults) across all relevant zones.

    • A typical treatment might take 1–3 hours, depending on the size of your home and severity of infestation.

    • You may see a reduction in flea activity within 24–48 hours after treatment.

    • Complete elimination (including newly hatched fleas) often requires follow-up treatments or maintenance visits over several weeks.

  • To prepare:

    ​

    1. Vacuum all carpets, rugs, and upholstery thoroughly.

    2. Wash pet bedding, linens, and removable fabrics in hot water.

    3. Remove clutter so the technician can reach all surfaces.

    4. Ensure pets are out of the home or safely confined (and treated with veterinarian-approved products).

    5. Cover or remove food bowls, utensils, and cookware (or seal them) in treated areas.

     

    Your technician will provide more specific instructions when scheduling.

  • Yes. At A&S Pest Control, we use approaches and products approved for residential use, applied by licensed professionals. We strive to use “green” wherever viable. However:

    ​

    • Pets should be removed from the treatment area until it’s dry and safe.

    • Fish tanks, food, and dishes should be covered or moved.

    • Children should be kept away from treated surfaces until fully dry or as directed.

     

    The technician will walk through safety precautions with you before and after treatment.

  • Not necessarily. Because fleas reproduce rapidly and some life stages (especially eggs and pupae) may remain dormant, a single treatment might not suffice for a heavy infestation. That’s why follow-ups or a maintenance program are often needed.

     

    A&S offers a year-round maintenance program to protect your home from recurring flea or pest presence.

  • Pricing depends on factors like:

     

    • The size and layout of your home

    • The severity of the infestation

    • Whether both indoor and outdoor spaces need treatment

    • Whether pets are involved

    •  

    We offer free flea inspections/estimates so you know the cost up front. Call or schedule an inspection to get your personalized quote.

  • Yes, fleas can come back if:

     

    • Wildlife or rodents reintroduce them

    • You bring in untreated pets

    • Eggs/larvae in outdoor soils remain untreated

    ​

    To help prevent recurrence:

    ​

    • Keep your pets on veterinary preventive products (as recommended)

    • Regularly vacuum and wash fabrics

    • Treat outdoor shaded areas (yards, under porches)

    • Keep your home sealed (block rodent entry, screen cracks)
