Fleas are tiny jumping insects that feed on blood and usually enter the home with pets, rodents or from nearby areas. They breed in carpets, bedding and floor cracks, so the source must be treated, not just sprayed.
Signs of an infestation
Small itchy bites, especially around the ankles
Tiny insects jumping on carpets or white fabric
Constant scratching in pets
Small black specks where pets sleep
Why it matters
Fleas cause itching, skin irritation and allergic reactions in some people and pets, and can multiply quickly indoors if the source is not treated.
How Hero approaches control
We identify the source (a pet, rodents or an outdoor area) and treat gathering zones such as carpets, bedding and cracks, with cleaning guidance and advice to treat the animal with a vet.
Prevention tips
Treat pets with a veterinarian
Wash bedding at a suitable temperature
Vacuum carpets regularly
Keep rodents and stray cats out of the property
Frequently asked questions
Is treating the home enough without treating the pet?
No, the pet can bring fleas back. Treat the animal with a vet and treat the home at the same time.
How long does flea control take?
It depends on the infestation. More than one visit may be needed because eggs and larvae mature in stages.
