Fleas
Flea Control in Hampton Roads, Virginia
Fleas are one of the most frustrating household pests in southeastern Virginia. They bite people and pets, spread quickly through carpets and furniture, and can remain hidden for weeks before a full infestation becomes obvious.
In our warm, humid coastal climate, fleas can survive nearly year-round β especially in homes with pets.
At Coastal Pest Control, we donβt just treat visible fleas β we eliminate eggs, larvae, and hidden breeding areas to stop reinfestation.
π Fleas in the Home β More Than Just a Pet Problem


While fleas often arrive on dogs or cats, they quickly spread into:
-
Carpets and rugs
-
Furniture and pet bedding
-
Baseboards and cracks in flooring
-
Shaded yard areas and entryways
Once indoors, fleas lay hundreds of eggs that fall into floors and fabrics β creating wave after wave of new fleas if not properly treated.
π Flea Bites on Humans β Painful & Persistent
-
Intense itching
-
Red swollen bumps
-
Possible infection from scratching
Some people are highly sensitive and develop prolonged irritation.
π« Why Fleas Are So Hard to Eliminate
Only about 5% of a flea problem is adult fleas.
The rest consists of:
-
Eggs
-
Larvae
-
Pupae hidden in carpets and cracks
This is why foggers and sprays usually fail β they donβt interrupt the life cycle.
