What Are Some Signs of a Flea Infestation?

The most obvious sign that you have fleas in your home is, of course, if you see them. In addition to spotting fleas, you may also notice the tiny, white specs that they leave behind – flea eggs. Another sign of a flea infestation may be in your pets’ behavior and appearance. For example, if your pets are scratching at themselves excessively or if you are finding red bumps on your skin, these may be signs that your pets have fleas.

How Do I Know Whether I Have Cat Fleas or Dog Fleas?

Dog fleas are actually found mainly in Europe, so it is very likely that what you’re dealing with in Baltimore MD is cat fleas. Cat fleas are the most common type of flea found in the Baltimore area, and are found on both cats and dogs.

Are Fleas Dangerous To Humans?

If you believe you have a flea infestation, it is important to seek pest control treatment as quickly as possible because, despite their small size, fleas are known carriers of a multitude of diseases and parasites, some of which may be fatal to humans and pets. Flea infestations grow and spread rapidly, as female fleas can lay up to 50 eggs per day.

Why Do I Have Fleas?

Fleas are commonly brought into homes by pets such as cats and dogs – especially such animals that spend excess amounts of time outdoors. Fleas can’t fly, but they are excellent jumpers, hopping from one animal to the next. Once inside your home, fleas will jump around and latch onto clothing, bedding, and furniture, further spreading the infestation around your house.

How Do I Get Rid Of Fleas?

The quickest and most effective way to rid your home of a flea infestation is to call a pest control expert. Without the help of a professional, it is likely that the fleas may return to your home despite your best efforts to exterminate them. Our technicians are highly-trained in the flea extermination process, and the best practices for ensuring that they don’t return.

How Can I Prevent Fleas From Coming Back?

Inside your home, you can prevent fleas by:

Vacuuming and shampooing carpeted areas frequently
Changing bedsheets and linens frequently, especially if your pets sleep with you
Wash rugs, couch covers, and pillows often
Check potted house plants for fleas or other insects regularly

Outside your home, you can prevent fleas by:

Vacuuming your car regularly, especially if you transport your pets often
Paying attention to where your pets are when they’re outside
Washing your pet outdoors before letting them back inside if they’ve gotten especially dirty or wandered off unsupervised

Baltimore, MD

Baltimore is the most populous city in Maryland, as well as the 30th most populous city in the United States. Baltimore is the largest independent city in the country and was designated as such by the Constitution of Maryland in 1851. Baltimore is located about 40 miles northeast of Washington DC, making it a principal city in the Washington–Baltimore combined statistical area.

British colonists established the Port of Baltimore in 1706 to support the tobacco trade, and established the Town of Baltimore in 1729. The Battle of Baltimore was a pivotal engagement during the War of 1812, culminating in the bombardment of Fort McHenry, during which Francis Scott Key wrote a poem that would become "The Star-Spangled Banner", which was eventually designated as the American national anthem in 1931. During the Pratt Street Riot of 1861, the city was the site of some of the earliest violence associated with the American Civil War.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the oldest railroad in the United States, was built in 1830 and cemented Baltimore's status as a major transportation hub, giving producers in the Midwest and Appalachia access to the city's port. Baltimore's Inner Harbor was once the second leading port of entry for immigrants to the United States. In addition, Baltimore was a major manufacturing center. After a decline in major manufacturing, heavy industry, and restructuring of the rail industry, Baltimore has shifted to a service-oriented economy. Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins University are the city's top two employers. Baltimore and its surrounding region are home to the headquarters of a number of major organizations and government agencies, including the NAACP, ABET, the National Federation of the Blind, Catholic Relief Services, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and the Social Security Administration.

With hundreds of identified districts, Baltimore has been dubbed a "city of neighborhoods". Many of Baltimore's neighborhoods have rich histories: the city is home to some of the earliest National Register Historic Districts in the nation, including Fell's Point, Federal Hill, and Mount Vernon. These were added to the National Register between 1969 and 1971, soon after historic preservation legislation was passed. Baltimore has more public statues and monuments per capita than any other city in the country. Nearly one third of the city's buildings (over 65,000) are designated as historic in the National Register, which is more than any other US city.
