Keep Your Home Protected From Fleas
Protect Your Home from Fleas with Expert Help
Fleas reproduce fast — a single female can lay 4–8 eggs after each meal. An untreated flea problem can quickly spiral into a full-blown infestation.
- Rapid breeding cycle makes DIY treatments ineffective
- Flea bites cause discomfort for both pets and people
- Fleas spread easily throughout carpets, furniture, and bedding
Trust a licensed flea exterminator near Marietta, GA to treat the entire life cycle and stop future outbreaks.
Professional Flea Exterminator or Doing it Yourself
DIY Flea Control vs. Professional Flea Extermination
While home remedies like flea bombs and pet sprays offer temporary relief, they often miss key infestation areas.
- Topical treatments for pets
- Vacuuming frequently
- Washing pet bedding
- Using store-bought sprays or flea bombs
But here’s why they often fail:
- They don’t eliminate eggs and larvae hidden deep in fibers
- Fleas return quickly if not treated thoroughly
- Most treatments don’t break the life cycle
Our flea extermination services include safe treatments that continue working after application — providing long-term relief.
When You Should Call a Flea Exterminator
Fleas can become a serious problem quickly — especially if left untreated. When your home is already infested, professional flea pest control is the most effective way to stop the problem at the source.
Not sure if it’s time to call a flea exterminator? If your pets are scratching or you notice small, flat insects with no wings, you may be dealing with fleas. You might also see tiny black or red specks (flea droppings) on your pet’s skin.
Fleas don’t fly — they jump, and they lay eggs in your carpet, bedding, and furniture. These eggs hatch into larvae and pupae, which are off-white and about 3 to 5 mm long. Once the flea life cycle starts, it spreads fast and becomes difficult to control on your own.
The most common flea species in the U.S. is the cat flea, which bites not just cats and dogs, but humans too. These bites can lead to irritation, allergic reactions, and even infections. That’s why it’s so important to hire a trusted flea exterminator near you.
At Dixie Exterminators, we provide expert flea control services throughout Marietta and Metro Atlanta. Our team is trained to stop infestations at every stage and help you keep fleas out for good.
Inside Flea Treatment
& Extermination
Indoor flea infestations often begin where your pets rest and sleep. As they move through the home, flea eggs fall into carpet fibers, furniture cushions, and bedding.
Our trained flea exterminators will inspect the areas where fleas are most likely to breed — including carpets, baseboards, upholstery, and pet bedding. We use targeted flea pest control treatments that eliminate adult fleas, larvae, and eggs.
Our flea control service includes safe, low-odor insecticides designed for use indoors. These treatments leave behind a residual layer of protection to prevent fleas from coming back.
To maximize results, we recommend vacuuming all floors and furniture before treatment, and continuing to clean regularly after service. Thorough cleaning helps remove flea dirt (droppings) and eggs, boosting the effectiveness of our extermination process.
Outside Flea Treatment
& Extermination
Fleas don't just infest your home — they also thrive outdoors in shady, moist areas where pets or wildlife travel frequently.
Common outdoor flea hotspots include:
crawl spaces • under decks • pet runs • shaded grass • mulch beds • around porches and bushes
Our team uses powerful, pet-safe flea insecticides to treat these high-risk zones. With our outdoor flea control services, we help stop the infestation at its source — before fleas enter your home.

Flea Extermination Frequently Asked Questions
Fleas reproduce quickly—one female can lay dozens of eggs a day. Eggs and larvae hide deep in carpets, upholstery, and pet bedding where DIY sprays or bombs rarely reach. Without professional treatment that breaks the full life cycle, fleas often return.
If you’re seeing fleas on pets, dark specks (flea dirt) in fur, itchy bites on family members, or fleas jumping from carpets and furniture, it’s time to call Dixie Exterminators for professional flea control.
Most fleas hitchhike indoors on pets, but they can also be introduced by rodents, raccoons, or other wildlife around the property. Once inside, they spread through carpets, furniture, and bedding.
DIY sprays, bombs, and pet shampoos may reduce fleas temporarily but rarely solve the problem. They often miss eggs and larvae, so the infestation resurfaces in weeks. Professional treatments target every stage of the flea life cycle for lasting relief.
Our technicians provide a whole-home service that targets adult fleas and uses insect growth regulators (IGRs) to stop eggs and larvae from maturing. We treat key areas—carpets, baseboards, furniture, pet resting areas—and when needed, outdoor zones like lawns and shaded areas to break the life cycle.
Yes. We use EPA-approved products applied by licensed professionals. When applied properly, treatments are designed to be safe for your family and pets. Keep children and pets out of treated areas until completely dry—typically 3–4 hours. We’ll provide exact re-entry guidance after your service.

- Wash pet bedding and linens in hot water.
