Fleas feed on your blood multiple times a day and can quickly infest your home, causing painful bites and potentially spreading diseases like typhus and plague.

Fleas are parasitic pests that thrive in carpets, pet bedding, and furniture, especially in homes with pets, but they can infest nearly any environment in Alaska. These tiny insects feed on blood, can cause dozens of itchy bites in a single day, and may transmit diseases or trigger allergic reactions in both humans and animals.
Alaska Pest Management brings over 30 years of experience, science-based pest control methods, and advanced products to eliminate flea infestations and prevent their return. Trust us to protect your family and pets from these relentless pests.
Fleas are tiny, wingless parasites that feed on the blood of animals and humans. While fleas are more common in warmer regions, Southeast Alaska homes can still experience infestations—especially during spring and summer when pets or wildlife bring them inside.
Fleas are very small—only about 1/8 in long—and reddish-brown in color. They have flat bodies and powerful back legs that allow them to jump long distances. Often, the first sign of a flea problem is excessive scratching by your pets.
Fleas can transmit diseases such as murine typhus and may indirectly spread cat scratch fever. Their bites can cause intense itching, allergic reactions, and secondary skin infections in pets and people.
Fleas usually enter your home on pets that have picked them up outside, but they can also hitch a ride on clothing, wildlife, or even used furniture. Once inside, they quickly lay eggs in carpets, upholstery, and bedding, spreading throughout your space.
Fleas prefer animals like dogs and cats, but they will bite humans if given the chance. While they don’t live on human bodies, their bites—often around ankles or legs—can cause itching, welts, and even allergic reactions.
Very fast. A single female flea can lay 4-8 eggs per day and 400-500 eggs in a lifetime. Within just a few weeks, an infestation can grow exponentially if not treated, with eggs dropping into carpets, furniture, and bedding where they develop into adult fleas.
Fleas are notoriously difficult to eliminate without professional help. At Alaska Pest Management, we target both adult fleas and their eggs to break the life cycle and rid your home of fleas for good.
