Saint George Fleas on Carpet

While the dry climate in Saint George helps to keep fleas at bay, there is still the chance that Fido will bring home some unwanted house guests to share his bed on your carpet. As residents in Saint George spend more time camping and hiking in the surrounding mountains and cooler temperature forests such as Pine Valley, Cedar Mountain and other areas in higher elevation, the chance for family and pets to bring home bugs rises. Not only can fleas hitch a ride home to Saint George with your family, ticks are also famous hitchhikers of the forest, bringing with them uncomfortable bites and dangerous lime disease. Checking your family and pets before heading home is always a good preventable way to ensure that fleas and ticks don’t follow you. If you’re already home in Saint George before you notice the aggressive biting and scratching of man’s best friend, cleaning the animal is vital before the bugs spread to the carpet and other areas of your home. Regularly vacuuming carpet is a great way to pick up adult fleas, however more is involved to remove eggs, larvae and pupae from the carpet fibers. HiCaliber of Saint George offers steam extraction for your carpet cleaning needs and will discuss other steps needed to remove any trace of fleas from your carpet.
