Professional Flea Removal

Most of the pet owners who live out there in the world get into illnesses because of fleas. As a result, flea treatment and flea removal have become popular topics among them.  Mantis Pest Solutions is here to not just prevent these illnesses for homeowners in Lee’s Summit and surrounding areas, but also for their pets. Fleas are extremely tiny creatures, which are about 2.5mm long. They have a reddish brown body color, which is covered in microscopic hair. The hair helps them to move from one place to another through the animal fur.

As mentioned earlier, pets introduce fleas to homes. In fact, fleas depend on a blood meal from the host in order to survive. When fleas get into the home, they also try to depend on the other hosts that can be found around the home. Therefore, fleas can become an inside problem, even if the host that introduced them to the home is removed.  Fleas can get into your home even if you don’t have pets. For example, they can even get into the fur of mice and come into your home. Therefore, you should take necessary measures in order to seal all the holes, gaps, and cracks that rodents can come into your home.

Fleas are relatively easy to be seen during the adult stage. They can easily be seen when you return home after a long journey. In other words, fleas would tend to greet your pets by trying to land on them. Fleas prefer to lay eggs under or within the furniture that you have inside your home. If you take a look inside the pet’s bedding, you will easily be able to find flea eggs. Moreover, they also prefer to lay eggs and breed inside the grooves and cracks that you can find in the carpets and floors.

Great experience - hard to find companies/people that ACTUALLY care. Brian is our service guy and has taken it upon himself to follow up and make sure our problem has been resolved. Nice to find people that care about making sure you are happy as a customer. Oh and by the way he wasn't "selling" anything new just making sure what I was paying for was working.
