Flea Control Services in Nairobi and Surrounding Areas
Fleas are small, blood-sucking parasites that can cause discomfort, itching, and allergic reactions in both humans and animals. In Nairobi and nearby towns like Kiambu, Ruiru, Thika, Kitengela, Ongata Rongai, and Machakos, flea infestations are a common problem, especially in homes with pets. These pests can also infest public spaces, hotels, kennels, schools, and farms, making them a significant health and sanitation concern.
Nairobi Pest Control provides expert flea inspection, elimination, and prevention services designed to restore comfort and protect your family, pets, and property from flea-related issues.
Understanding Fleas in Nairobi
Fleas are wingless insects that move by jumping. They feed on the blood of warm-blooded animals, such as dogs, cats, and even humans. The most common species in Kenya include the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis), dog flea (Ctenocephalides canis), and human flea (Pulex irritans).
Why Flea Control is Important
- Fleas cause intense itching and skin irritation.
- They can transmit diseases such as murine typhus and tapeworms.
- Their bites can trigger allergic reactions in pets and humans.
- Fleas reproduce quickly a single female can lay up to 50 eggs per day.
- They can survive for months without a blood meal, making infestations persistent.
Without professional treatment, flea infestations can become overwhelming and hard to eradicate.
