Know what you're dealing with
Why fleas keep coming back after you treat the pet
The fleas on your dog or cat are only part of the problem. Eggs fall off into carpets, bedding, furniture, and the yard, and the next generation develops there.
That's why a flea problem needs the pet, the house, and the yard handled together. Miss one, and the others get reinfested.
Three parts, one plan
Flea control works when the pet, home, and yard are handled together
Your pet: talk to your vet
Keep your pet's flea preventive up to date so adult fleas feeding on them are killed. Your veterinarian is the right person to recommend a product.
Your home: we treat it
We treat carpets, rugs, furniture, baseboards, and pet resting areas where eggs and larvae develop.
Your yard: we treat it
We treat shaded areas where pets rest and fleas develop, like under decks, along fence lines, and near shrubs.
Our process
How flea control works in Alabaster
Five steps, inside and out.
Inspect: free
We check where your pets sleep and rest, carpets and furniture, and shaded areas of the yard to see how far fleas have spread.
Prepare
We give you a short prep list before treatment, including vacuuming, washing pet bedding, and clearing floors.
Treat indoors
Treatment for carpets, furniture, and baseboards targets adult fleas and uses growth regulators to stop eggs and larvae from developing.
Treat the yard
Outdoor treatment focuses on the shaded, protected areas where pets rest and fleas develop.
Follow up
It's normal to see some fleas for a while after treatment as pupae emerge. If activity continues, request a free call-back within 14 days of your treatment.

- Empty the vacuum or throw the bag away outside each time.

Questions
Alabaster flea control FAQs
What Alabaster pet owners ask us most about fleas.
Do you provide flea control in Alabaster, AL?
Yes. Alabama Termite & Pest Services provides flea control for Alabaster and Shelby County homes, including indoor treatment for carpets and furniture and yard treatment for shaded areas.
How much does flea control cost in Alabaster?
Flea control is quoted after a free inspection. Price depends on the size of the home, how much of the yard needs treatment, and how far the infestation has spread.
Why do I still have fleas after treating my pet?
Flea eggs fall off pets into carpet, bedding, furniture, and the yard, where the next generation develops. Treating only the pet leaves those stages behind. The pet, the home, and the yard need to be handled together.
Do you treat indoors and outdoors?
Yes. We treat carpets, rugs, furniture, baseboards, and pet resting areas indoors, and shaded areas of the yard where pets rest and fleas develop.
Do you treat my pets for fleas?
No. We treat your home and yard. Flea products for dogs and cats should come from, or be recommended by, your veterinarian.
Why am I still seeing fleas after treatment?
It's normal to see some fleas for a while after treatment. Fleas in the pupal stage are protected in a cocoon and emerge later. Keep vacuuming, because the vibration helps bring them out where treatment can reach them. If activity continues, request a free call-back within 14 days of your treatment.
How should I prepare for flea treatment?
Vacuum carpets, rugs, and furniture, and empty the vacuum outside. Wash pet bedding and throw rugs in hot water. Pick up items from the floor so treatment can reach carpets and baseboards. Your technician will give you a full prep list.
Can fleas make my pet sick?
Fleas cause itching and irritation, and pets can get flea tapeworms by swallowing infected fleas while grooming. Talk to your veterinarian if your pet shows signs of either.
Can fleas live in my house without pets?
Yes. Wildlife, stray animals, and previous occupants' pets can leave fleas behind, and dormant pupae can emerge when people move through the home.
Are flea treatments safe for my family and pets?
Products are applied according to their label directions. Your technician will go over re-entry guidance, including when people and pets can return to treated areas.
