Akron Flea & Tick Control Services

Protecting Your Home, Family & Pets with Flea & Tick Control

Though they may be difficult to see, fleas and ticks can be quite dangerous and bothersome. Not only can they cause discomfort to people and pets, but ticks themselves can also pose health risks. Fleas pose less of a risk; however, they can cause some health concerns for young children, the elderly, and animals.

Both of these pests are small parasites that feed on the blood of mammals. All these reasons and more are why you need to reach out to Accel Pest & Termite Control at the first sign of trouble.

Signs of a Flea Infestation

Think you have a flea infestation in your home? It can be hard to tell, as fleas are dark, small, and often hide in bedding, carpeting, and within the hair of pets. However, there are ways to tell if you could have an infestation on your hands. 

Some common signs of a flea infestation include when your pet:

• Shows signs of an allergic reaction, especially red skin, bumps, and welts
• Begins to scratch more than usual
• Experiences hair loss
• Has pale gums
• Seems restless

Another common sign is when you start to see small black spots jumping on your couch or other household surfaces. 

How to Check for a Flea Infestation: The White Sock Test

If you have noticed any of the above signs of an infestation, it doesn't hurt to do the white sock test. 

All you need to do is put on a pair of long white cotton socks and walk around your home. Make sure to walk on the carpet, taking care to shuffle your feet to create warmth and attract any fleas. The point is to get any fleas to attach to your socks, like they would to a dog or cat. 

Next, take off the socks and look for any fleas. They will look like tiny black or brown specks.
