How Expensive Are Fleas Treatments?
WouterFleas can be extremely difficult to get rid of, but there are various methods of treatment for them. One way is fumigation, which can completely get rid of an infestation in a single treatment. The disadvantage of fumigation is that you will be forced to leave your home during the treatment because it is not safe to stay inside. The cleanup after fumigation can also take some time. Another option is heat treatment, which is the most expensive method and costs around $400 per treatment.
Homeowners can also apply over-the-counter flea products, but they may not be as effective as professional chemicals. They also may not treat areas of the home that have the most flea infestation. The best way to get an effective treatment for your entire home is to contact a professional. A professional is more effective and has more experience treating fleas.
Professional exterminators use insecticides to kill fleas, and most of them charge a flat fee. In some cases, pesticides may not completely kill the flea eggs and larvae, so a follow-up treatment may be necessary after a period of time. The American Kennel Club estimates that it takes three to four months for an entire flea infestation to be eliminated, although it can take longer.
A professional flea control treatment usually costs between $290 and $590, depending on the severity of the infestation and the number of consecutive treatments. The initial treatment costs about $190, while quarterly treatments cost between $99 and $290.
