"How to effectively eliminate flea infestations in Springfield, Missouri"

The mere mention of fleas can make you itch. That’s because jumping and biting on anything that moves is how these tiny invaders make themselves known. They can be carried into your home by pets and people. If you notice your pets starting to scratch more than usual, you might be in trouble. At that point, it is likely that your yard, carpet, and furniture are all infested with fleas. Don’t be surprised if you start getting bit as well.

Fleas are efficient breeders. They are so very small, about a 1/8 of an inch long. Finding them in your carpet or on your furniture is virtually impossible with the naked eye. So, unless they are actively jumping on you, you might not be able to detect them. However, fleas leave behind droppings, called flea dirt, which looks like dark specs on your pet’s skin. This makes it easier to find fleas on your pets than on your furniture or in your carpet.
