Fleas are tiny, blood-sucking pests that can cause significant discomfort for both pets and humans. In the Willamette Valley, Oregon, flea infestations are common, particularly during warmer months. Fleas, such as the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis), can easily be brought into homes by pets or even by humans. While fleas are most often associated with pets like dogs and cats, they can infest carpets, bedding, and furniture, leading to an infestation that spreads quickly. Flea bites can cause itching, irritation, and allergic reactions in both animals and humans. If you’ve noticed excessive scratching in your pets or small red bites on your skin, you may have a flea infestation that requires immediate attention.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to act quickly before the infestation worsens.
At EcoValley Pest Control, we specialize in comprehensive flea removal services that target both adult fleas and their eggs. Fleas reproduce rapidly—one adult flea can lay hundreds of eggs in just a few days—so it’s crucial to treat the entire environment as well as your pets. Our expert technicians use a combination of treatments to ensure complete eradication.
Hiring a professional pest control service for flea infestations offers several important advantages:
Flea infestations usually begin when a single flea enters your home—either on a pet or on you. Once inside, fleas lay eggs that fall into carpets, bedding, or furniture. These eggs hatch into larvae that eventually mature into adult fleas, continuing the cycle.

The best way to eliminate a flea infestation is through professional pest control services combined with treating your pets using veterinarian-recommended products like oral medications or topical treatments. Thorough cleaning of your home is also essential.
Fleas have a complex life cycle that includes eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. It can take several weeks to completely eradicate an infestation because pupae can remain dormant for extended periods before emerging as adults.
