Flea Control Services in Vancouver – 1st Pest Control
Get Rid of Fleas Fast – Safe, Effective, and Guaranteed
Common ways fleas enter your home:
Fleas aren’t just a nuisance—they’re tiny, biting pests that can make life miserable for you and your pets. At 1st Pest Control, we provide fast and professional flea control services across Vancouver and surrounding areas. Whether you’re dealing with fleas in your home, business, or rental property, our expert technicians will identify the infestation and eliminate it—completely.
Fleas typically hitch a ride indoors by clinging to pets, rodents, or even your clothing. Once inside, they reproduce rapidly and can quickly become a full-blown infestation.
How Do Fleas Get Into Our Homes?
- Pets bringing fleas in from outside or from contact with other animals
- Wildlife such as raccoons, squirrels, or rats nesting in crawl spaces or attics
- Used furniture, rugs, or bedding
- Human foot traffic from infested environments
Where Do Fleas Hide?
Fleas are small, fast-moving, and hard to spot—but they tend to favor warm, dark, and humid areas. Some of their common hiding spots include:
- Pet bedding and furniture
- Carpets and rugs
- Cracks in hardwood floors
- Upholstered furniture
- Baseboards and floorboards
- Behind curtains and under cushions

FAQs - Fleas
Where do they come from?
Fleas are parasitic insects that feed on blood. Typically, fleas come from an infested environment (e.g. yard, kennel), or from an infested host. They find new hosts by jumping on humans or animals in direct contact or in close proximity.
Without flea control, these pests migrate inside to find new food sources. They enter through cracks, crevices and gaps along the perimeter of a building.
Will they cause any damage to my home or business?
Fleas do not normally cause damage to a home or business. Heavy infestation may require the disposal of pet furniture and bedding.
Any health risk coming from these pests?
Fleas are well-known carriers of diseases and pose a notable health risk to humans and animals. These insects are associated with diseases such as cat-scratch fever, typhus and the plague. They also carry tapeworms which can be easily spread to animals when they swallow these insects while grooming.
Common symptoms of flea bites are swelling, redness and itchiness. Allergic reactions may cause rashes to form on the skin. The constant scratching of affected sites may lead to fur loss and additional skin problems. If animals are severely infested, they may become anemic. Their presence is known to cause emotional and psychological distress to those living in the affected residence.
Where will I find them in my house?
Fleas are predominantly found on pets and in areas these animals frequent. They may also found in the surrounding outdoors, such as your yard, where animals may have first come into contact with fleas. As they are mobile creatures with the ability to jump notable distances, fleas may be found in other areas of the house once indoors. However, they are generally concentrated close to their food source.
Why do I need to get rid of them?
Fleas pose significant health risk to animals and humans. They transfer diseases and parasites that may cause severe health conditions. In addition, flea bites may become unbearable and very stressful for occupants of an infested residence.
