Fast, Effective Flea & Tick Control for Your Home

At Berner Pest Solutions, we provide expert flea control in Lexington, KY, along with tick prevention services to protect your home, pets, and family. Whether you’re dealing with an active infestation or looking for preventative treatment, we’re here to help.
Understanding Fleas: Behavior & Treatment Strategy
Fleas are small, blood-sucking parasites that infest dogs, cats, and other animals. Once inside your home, they can multiply rapidly, making them difficult to control without professional treatment.
🔹 How Flea Infestations Develop
Fleas go through four life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Female fleas lay eggs on their host, but these eggs quickly fall into carpets, furniture, and pet bedding, where they hatch and develop. The pupal stage can remain dormant for months, meaning infestations can resurface unexpectedly—especially in homes that have been vacant.
🔹 Why DIY Treatments Often Fail
While pet medications help control fleas on your animals, they do not eliminate the infestation inside your home. Vacuuming, washing bedding, and over-the-counter sprays can help but are often not enough to break the flea life cycle. That’s where professional flea control treatments come in.
