Our Process
01
Our first step is a thorough inspection to diagnose the flea infestation inside your Tacoma home, a common issue as pests seek warmth indoors during the cold December weather.
We meticulously check key hotspots like pet bedding, carpets, and furniture for adult fleas and their eggs to determine the precise scope of our treatment plan.

Service Types
We provide comprehensive flea treatments for homes in Tacoma, combining interior and exterior applications to eliminate all life stages of these persistent pests. Our service starts at $325 and includes a thorough treatment using liquid residual insecticides applied to baseboards, cracks, and crevices throughout your home, plus targeted aerosols for floors, pet areas, and upholstery where fleas hide and breed. We also treat your home’s foundation perimeter and entry points to prevent re-infestation from outside sources.
Before we arrive, we require that all pets receive flea treatment from your veterinarian, and we ask you to vacuum all carpets and move furniture away from walls so we can access the areas where fleas congregate. After treatment, daily vacuuming for two weeks is critical because it stimulates dormant flea pupae to emerge, exposing them to our residual products and accelerating complete elimination.
Our treatments are family and pet-friendly once dried after about two hours, and we focus on breaking the flea life cycle at every stage to ensure your home stays comfortable and pest-free. For example, we target not just adult fleas but also the eggs and larvae hiding in carpet fibers and along baseboards, which is why our comprehensive approach addresses both the visible problem and the hidden infestation beneath the surface.
We protect Tacoma’s commercial properties from flea infestations with targeted treatments designed for high-traffic businesses. Our service covers restaurants, retail stores, office buildings, warehouses, and multi-unit housing where fleas can quickly spread through shared spaces and impact your reputation.
For example, we start with a thorough assessment of your facility to identify breeding areas and entry points, then apply professional-grade residual insecticides to baseboards, cracks, and common areas while treating the exterior foundation perimeter. We require that any on-site animals receive flea treatment before our visit, and we provide detailed preparation guidelines to ensure maximum effectiveness without disrupting your daily operations longer than necessary.
Our approach is especially valuable for Tacoma businesses near Joint Base Lewis-McChord or the Port of Tacoma, where the mild, wet Pacific Northwest climate creates year-round conditions that allow fleas to thrive indoors. We follow up with monitoring and prevention strategies to keep your commercial space flea-free and protect both your employees and customers from these persistent pests.

FAQs
We charge $325 for comprehensive flea treatment in Tacoma, which includes both interior and exterior foundation treatment.
The cost stays consistent regardless of home size because we treat the entire interior living space plus the exterior perimeter. However, factors like the severity of the infestation and whether your pets have been treated beforehand can affect how quickly we resolve the problem.
During December, fleas are less active outdoors due to cooler temperatures, but they thrive indoors where it’s warm. Homes with pets and carpeting in Tacoma often maintain the perfect environment for fleas year-round, which is why winter treatments focus heavily on interior spaces where these pests continue their lifecycle.

Even during winter months in Tacoma when fleas are less active outdoors, indoor flea populations can thrive in the warmth of your home, which is why our comprehensive interior and exterior treatment approach remains effective year-round.
We require that all pets be treated for fleas before our visit and that you vacuum daily for 14 days after treatment to ensure the best results and maximize the effectiveness of our guarantee.
We typically respond to flea treatment requests in Tacoma within 24-48 hours of your initial call. Our scheduling team works to accommodate urgent situations as quickly as possible, especially during winter months when fleas may be thriving indoors due to heated homes providing ideal conditions for their lifecycle.

Yes, our flea treatments are safe for both children and pets once the products have fully dried, which typically takes about 2 hours. We use EPA-registered products that are applied according to strict safety guidelines, ensuring your family’s well-being is protected.
However, we do require that all pets be treated for fleas by a veterinarian before our visit, as this ensures the most effective results. For example, if your dog or cat hasn’t received flea medication, the treatment may not fully eliminate the problem since pets can reintroduce fleas after we’ve treated your home.
During winter months like December, flea activity often decreases outdoors but can persist indoors where it’s warm, making professional treatment especially important for homes with pets. After treatment, we recommend keeping children and pets out of treated areas for at least 2 hours, and you should ventilate your home when returning to ensure complete safety.
