Fleas and Bed Bugs: Tiny Pests, Big Problems

Few household intruders are as frustrating, irritating, and persistent as fleas and bed bugs. Though tiny, these pests can create major problems—from itchy bites to full-blown infestations that disrupt daily life. When prevention fails or infestations become severe, Alpine Pest Control offers the expertise and solutions you need to reclaim your home.

Fleas: The Tiny Jumping Menace

What Are Fleas?

Fleas are small, wingless insects that feed on the blood of mammals and birds. Agile jumpers, they can move quickly from pets to carpets, furniture, and even humans. Their speed and reproductive power make infestations difficult to control without professional help.

Fleas and Your Home

Bites and Irritation: Flea bites appear as red, itchy clusters, causing discomfort to humans and pets alike.
Health Risks: Fleas can transmit tapeworms to pets and, in rare cases, diseases to humans.
Rapid Spread: Fleas reproduce quickly, making infestations grow exponentially if not treated.

Signs You Need Alpine Pest Control

Persistent scratching or skin irritation on pets
Flea dirt in pet fur or bedding
Visible fleas in carpets, furniture, or rugs

Alpine Pest Control uses targeted treatments to eradicate fleas from both pets and homes, ensuring the problem doesn’t return.

Bed Bugs: The Nighttime Bloodsuckers

What Are Bed Bugs?

Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown insects that feed on blood. Nocturnal and elusive, they hide in mattresses, box springs, furniture, and cracks, making them extremely difficult to eliminate without professional intervention.

The Impact of Bed Bugs

Bites and Skin Reactions: Bed bug bites often appear in clusters or lines, causing severe itching and discomfort.
Sleep Disruption: Infestations make it difficult to rest, leading to stress and fatigue.
Property Damage: Infestations can spread quickly to furniture and bedding, increasing treatment complexity.

Why You Need Alpine Pest Control

Rust-colored stains or tiny dark spots on bedding
Shed skins or eggs in mattress seams or furniture cracks
Persistent bites despite home remedies

Alpine Pest Control employs advanced inspection techniques and safe, effective treatments to eliminate bed bugs from every hiding spot—fast, discreet, and thorough.
