Common Pests
Flea Treatment DC
Flea infestations in DC homes typically originate from pets but can persist even in pet-free environments. Fleas breed rapidly — a single flea can produce 50 eggs per day. Effective treatment requires addressing adult fleas, larvae, pupae, and eggs across all living areas, pet bedding, and upholstered furniture.

FAQ
Flea Treatment — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions our licensed exterminators receive about flea treatment in Washington, D.C., including costs, treatment timelines, preparation steps, and what results to expect.
How much does flea treatment cost in DC?
Flea Treatment is billed at a flat $199/hr, 1-hour minimum, no matter the pest type or severity. Every job includes an inspection and an upfront estimate before any work begins — the rate never changes based on what we find.
How long does flea treatment take to work?
You'll see reduced flea activity within 24-48 hours after treatment. However, flea pupae can remain dormant for weeks, so you may see some fleas emerge after initial treatment. Follow-up treatments 2 weeks later address these newly emerged fleas.
Do I need to treat my pet too?
Yes. Home treatment alone won't solve a flea problem if your pet is still carrying fleas. We recommend coordinating with your veterinarian for pet flea treatment. We handle the home — your vet handles the pet.
Can fleas infest a home without pets?
Yes. Fleas can be brought in on clothing, infest wildlife-accessible areas, or persist from previous pet owners. Flea pupae can remain dormant for months and emerge when they detect vibrations or body heat.
How do I prepare my home for flea treatment?
Vacuum all floors and upholstery thoroughly, wash pet bedding in hot water, remove items from floors, and plan to be out of the home for 2-4 hours after treatment. We'll provide a detailed prep checklist.
