Flea Control in Arlington Heights & the Northwest Suburbs

Most of a flea infestation lives in your carpets, furniture and pet bedding as eggs, larvae and pupae, not on your pet. Our IDPH-licensed flea exterminators treat your home to break the flea life cycle, in Arlington Heights and across Chicago's northwest suburbs.

How Do I Know I Have Fleas?

  • Pets scratching and biting themselves more than usual
  • Flea dirt — black specks that turn red on a damp paper towel
  • Itchy red bites on ankles and lower legs
  • Fleas jumping on carpets or your socks

Our Flea Control Process

Fleas have to be treated in the home and on every pet at the same time. We treat your home with EPA-registered products, including insect growth regulators that stop eggs and larvae developing.

Tip: treat every pet with a vet-recommended flea product on the same day as our first visit.

Before & After Your Treatment

Before Your Treatment

  • Vacuum carpets, furniture and under cushions
  • Wash pet bedding and throws on hot
  • Clear floors so every area can be treated
  • Arrange for pets to be out during treatment

After Your Treatment

  • Keep vacuuming daily for two weeks and empty it outside
  • Keep pets on their flea treatment
  • Don't wash treated carpets for two weeks
  • Keep wildlife out of crawl spaces and decks

You may see some fleas for a couple of weeks as pupae hatch and meet the treated surfaces. This is normal.

Why Our Flea Treatment Works

Breaks the Life Cycle

Insect growth regulators stop eggs and larvae becoming biting adults, so the infestation doesn't restart.

Works With Your Pet Care

We coordinate the home treatment with your vet's flea product, which is the only way to stop fleas for good.

Not Sure What You Have?

Itchy bites but no pets? It may be bed bugs — see our bed bug treatment.

Flea Control FAQs

How much does flea treatment cost in Arlington Heights?

Our flea treatment costs $389 for a 1-bedroom property, with $40 for each additional bedroom. It includes 2 visits, written reports and a 2-month guarantee.

Do I need to treat my pets too?

Yes. Every pet should be treated with a vet-recommended flea product at the same time, or fleas will return to the home.

Why do I still see fleas after treatment?

Flea pupae can hatch for a couple of weeks after treatment. Keep vacuuming: it helps them hatch and meet the treated surfaces.
