FLEAS
Fleas are typically found where animals sleep and frequent, including their avenue of travel. Fleas are known to be vectors of the disease organisms causing both plague and murine typhus, and can serve as an immediate host for the dog tapeworm.
It is not necessary to have pets in your home in order to have fleas since fleas can jump about 6 - 13 inches vertically and can hitch a ride in/on your pants, socks and even shoe.
Treatment: Fleas require a complete three-step treatment in order to effectively eliminate the entire population.
1. The entire yard is treated with special attention spent on the areas fleas are likely to occur such as shady vegetation under decks where animals rest.
2. The interior of the home is treated with a combination of residual materials and Insect Growth Regulators.
Sanitation is important for complete control.

BEETLES
Sometimes people mistake cockroaches for beetles. If the beetle is an adult, it can usually be identified by looking at the wings. Beetles come in many shapes, sizes and colors. Some, like the click beetles, are long and slender. Some beetles like lady beetles and June beetles (also known as June bugs) have an oval or rounded shape. There are even beetles that resemble spiders. Beetles feed on many different plant and animal materials. Adult beetles often deposit their eggs near the food that the larvae will eat when they come out of the eggs.
Treatment: Skiles Pest will do a thorough inspection and treatment for removal of these pests.
