Fleas:
Fleas are one of the most dangerous groups of insect pests prevalent in Western New York because they not only cause discomfort by biting, but they can also transmit diseases. Some of the names for fleas are: Cat Flea, Dog Flea, Human Flea and the Oriental Rat Flea. Keep in mind that the names of these fleas do not have any correlation with the types of mammals that they can be found on. In this region, the most common type of flea that plagues so many of our pets (both cats and dogs) as well as our dwellings is the Cat Flea.
Good Riddance Pest Control Technicians use an adulticide and an insect growth regulator which are both equally important for a successful flea treatment program.
