The crew treats carpets, furniture and shaded yards for fleas at homes across Harris County, working out of Houston since 2010.
Kwik Kill Exterminators handles flea control for households in Houston and across Harris County. A flea problem sits in the carpet and the yard, not only on the pet.
The technician treats the rooms the pet uses, the furniture it sleeps on and the shaded ground outside. A second visit catches the eggs that hatch after the first treatment.

An exterminator clears a flea problem at every stage, from the carpet and the pet's resting spots to the shaded ground outside.
The technician treats every room the pet uses, not one hot spot. Fleas ride from the sofa to the bedroom, so treating one room leaves the rest of the house stocked.
Carpet fibers and upholstery seams hold the eggs and larvae a vacuum leaves behind. The treatment reaches into the pile and the seams, where the next generation of fleas sits waiting.
Fleas develop outdoors in shaded ground under decks, porches and shrubs, where the dog rests. The yard treatment covers those strips, so the pet stops carrying a fresh load indoors each afternoon.
An insect growth regulator holds flea eggs and larvae back from the biting adult stage. The adult treatment handles the fleas on the floor today, and the regulator handles the ones hatching next week.
A follow-up visit lands in the window when the surviving eggs hatch, days after the first treatment. Pairing that visit with the pet's own flea treatment from the veterinarian stops the animal reseeding the floor.
The signs of a flea problem in a house start with a pet scratching at the base of the tail. Black specks in the fur, flea dirt in the pet bedding and small bites around ankles follow. Fleas jump onto white socks in a carpeted room, the quickest home test.
A second round of scratching three weeks after a store spray points to eggs hatching on the schedule the spray never touched. Renters moving into a house left empty by a pet owner meet the same flea hatch.
