Fleas can quickly turn your home into a hotspot of discomfort. These biting pests thrive in carpets, pet bedding, and cracks in flooring. DIY flea sprays and powders may kill some adults but often miss hidden eggs and larvae. Our expert flea control service uses a combination of pet-safe treatments and advanced techniques to eliminate fleas at every stage of life. We target not just the pests, but the root of the problem—ensuring long-lasting protection and relief.
Flea bites can cause intense itching, allergic reactions, and secondary skin infections in both humans and pets. Pets suffering from flea infestations may develop dermatitis, hair loss, or tapeworm infections from swallowing fleas during grooming. Children and allergy-prone individuals are especially vulnerable. Early intervention is critical to stopping the flea life cycle and preventing recurring issues. If you or your pets show signs of flea bites or scratching, call a professional right away.
Fleas are tiny, wingless insects with reddish-brown bodies that can jump long distances. Adult fleas are only 1–3mm long, making them difficult to detect. They often hide in carpets, furniture seams, pet fur, and bedding. Eggs are white and oval-shaped, while larvae resemble tiny worms and burrow deep into fabrics or floor cracks.
Fleas prefer warm, humid areas and are commonly found in pet bedding, carpets, upholstery, and cracks in hardwood floors. Outdoors, they thrive in shady, moist spots like under decks and shrubs. Fleas lay hundreds of eggs, which can fall off pets and spread throughout the home, making complete elimination difficult without professional help.
Signs of a flea infestation include:
Fleas reproduce rapidly—females lay up to 50 eggs per day. Eggs hatch into larvae, develop into pupae, and eventually emerge as biting adults. Fleas spread easily between pets, homes, and outdoor environments. Without thorough treatment, they can persist in carpets, baseboards, and under furniture for weeks or months.
Store-bought flea bombs and sprays only treat surface-level infestations. Touchdown Pest Control uses a comprehensive approach—targeting eggs, larvae, and adult fleas with safe, effective products and specialized equipment. Our trained technicians assess your home, provide immediate relief, and offer prevention strategies to stop fleas from returning.
After treatment, follow these steps to keep fleas away:

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
