Fleas are more than just a nuisance—they can cause itchy bites, skin irritations, and even transmit diseases to both humans and pets. These tiny parasites multiply quickly and can infest carpets, furniture, and pet bedding, making them difficult to eliminate without professional treatment. At Southland Pest Control, our licensed technicians provide thorough flea inspections and customized treatment plans to target fleas at every stage of their life cycle. We use safe and effective insecticides, growth regulators, and steam treatments to eliminate fleas from your home or business, ensuring long-lasting protection. Follow-up treatments are also available to guarantee complete eradication and prevent reinfestations.
Preventing fleas starts with keeping your home and pets protected. Regularly vacuuming carpets, rugs, and furniture can help remove flea eggs and larvae before they hatch. Washing pet bedding and blankets frequently in hot water reduces the chances of flea infestations. Treating pets with veterinarian-approved flea preventatives, such as topical treatments or oral medications, is essential to stop fleas from entering your home. Additionally, keeping your yard well-maintained by trimming grass and removing excess debris reduces flea breeding areas. For whole-season flea control, Southland Pest Control offers monthly, bi-monthly, and quarterly treatments, ensuring your home stays flea-free year-round.
Technicians at Southland Pest Control are highly trained and state-licensed, ensuring they have the expertise to handle any fleas infestation effectively. Continuous education and training keep them updated on the latest pest control methods.
After the initial flea treatment, we offer follow-up services to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and address any recurring issues. Regular check-ups ensure a long-term solution to flea problems.

Riverside, California, is home to several flea species that can infest homes, pets, and outdoor spaces. The most common is the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis), which, despite its name, affects both cats and dogs and is the primary culprit behind flea infestations in households. These fleas latch onto pets and can quickly spread throughout homes, laying eggs in carpets, furniture, and pet bedding. Cat fleas can also transmit tapeworms and cause flea allergy dermatitis in pets, leading to severe itching and skin irritation.
Another prevalent species is the dog flea (Ctenocephalides canis), which primarily targets dogs but can also bite humans and other animals. While not as common as cat fleas, dog fleas are still a concern in Riverside, particularly in homes with multiple pets. These fleas can transmit parasites and bacterial infections, including the bacteria responsible for murine typhus. They thrive in warm, humid environments, making proper flea control essential to prevent infestations.
The human flea (Pulex irritans) is less common but still found in some areas of Riverside. Unlike cat and dog fleas, which primarily infest pets, human fleas prefer human hosts but will also feed on other animals. They are typically found in rural areas or environments with livestock, but infestations can occur in homes with poor sanitation. Human flea bites can cause intense itching and irritation, and they have been linked to the spread of certain bacterial infections. Professional flea treatments and year-round prevention are essential to keeping these pests under control.
Fleas are a persistent nuisance for both pets and humans, causing itchy bites, allergic reactions, and even transmitting diseases such as tapeworms and typhus. These tiny parasites reproduce quickly, making infestations difficult to eliminate without professional intervention. At Southland Pest Control, our licensed technicians specialize in effective flea control, using advanced treatments to target fleas at all life stages. We provide thorough inspections, customized treatment plans, and follow-up services to ensure complete eradication. With our expertise, Riverside residents can enjoy a flea-free home and protect their pets and family from these invasive pests.
Fleas undergo a four-stage life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Adult fleas feed on the blood of pets or humans and lay eggs that fall onto carpets, bedding, and furniture. Within days, the eggs hatch into larvae, which hide in dark, humid spaces and feed on organic matter. After several molts, they form cocoons and enter the pupal stage, where they remain dormant until detecting vibrations or heat signals from a nearby host. This cycle allows fleas to persist in homes for months, making recurring pest control treatments essential for long-term prevention.
At Southland Pest Control, our licensed technicians use a multi-step approach to eliminate fleas and prevent future infestations. We apply targeted insecticides, growth regulators, and non-toxic treatments to break the flea life cycle and stop reproduction. In addition to treating indoor infestations, we address outdoor flea hotspots, such as yards, pet areas, and shaded regions where fleas thrive. Our monthly, bi-monthly, and quarterly services provide year-round protection, ensuring that fleas don’t return.
