Ticks or fleas on your pet or yourself can easily mean an infestation is on the rise on your property or even worse; inside your home. If you spot or even suspect ticks or fleas in your Pittsburgh, PA residence, contact Stewart Termite and Pest today and let our experts ensure your home or property is tick and flea free.
Our Unique Approach To Flea Control & Removal Service
The more common fleas found in the Greater Pittsburgh, PA areas include Bird fleas, Dog fleas, and Cat fleas. They don’t just bite the creature they are named after. Each species of fleas can (literally) jump around to cats and dogs; as well as humans. To tell these species apart, you generally need a microscope. Fleas can cause distress in your pets with their relentless bites. Prevention is optimal, but if you suspect fleas, be sure to get your pet to the vet for treatment.
1. FLEA INSPECTION
We’ll first determine the severity of the infestation by inspecting the entire property. If you’re dealing with a flea problem, we’ll move forward with our flea treatment. Two or three services are normally required to eliminate this pest.
2. INTERIOR TREATMENT
We’ll carefully apply liquid residual and insect growth regulators (GR) on all floor surfaces, paying attention to the areas your pets spend time. Not only does this approach kill fleas on contact, but it also interrupts the breeding cycle. Best of all, this method lasts for 4-6 months!
3. EXTERIOR TREATMENT
We’ll carefully spray a combination of liquid residual and insect growth regulator (IGR) to the areas your pet(s) frequent and in specific areas of your yard that will provide harborage for fleas.

Flea infestations usually start with your cat or dog. These pests attach themselves to your pets when they’re outside, and then infest their fur and areas they sleep indoors. This means to control fleas successfully, you need to treat the inside of your home and your yard! Luckily, Stewart Termite & Pest Control can help. If you’re dealing with a flea infestation, or want to safeguard your home from these jumping pests, call 412-822-7610 today!
Flea bites leave you with swollen, itchy marks. Hence the reason why your pets scratch so much after they’ve been bitten. And, in some cases, flea bites cause allergic reactions in humans. But the real problem is fleas carry insect-borne diseases just like mosquitoes and ticks. According to the CDC, the number of illnesses caused by flea bites tripled from 2004 to 2016. So if you’re dealing with a flea infestation, you need to act fast!
Flea control starts with your pet(s). There are plenty of options available to treat your cat or dog, and these should be discussed with your veterinarian. Next, call us at 412-822-7610 to schedule your flea treatment. We’ll inspect your home, then use an insecticide and insect growth regulator to kill adult fleas and prevent future generations from breeding.
Fleas love warm-blooded animals, like your pets. They consume 15 times their body weight in blood, which can cause anemia and significant blood loss. So we recommend that you supplement your flea and tick preventative with 2-3 flea treatments during the warmer months in Pittsburgh, PA. This will create an additional line of defense from these pests.
After we treat your yard for fleas, you need to ensure the product is completely dry before going outside. Depending on a variety of factors, like outdoor temperatures and humidity, we recommend you wait at least an hour to re-enter the service area. After this time has elapsed, it is safe for you and your family to enjoy your deck, pool, and yard again!

Fantastic work! He came super fast, worked with my schedule, took him 15 minutes, and got rid of the yellow jackets that made the arch of the kitchen door their home. The best part is that it was so so affordable, and had a guarantee in case we needed additional time. It couldn’t be any better!– Pat P. in Pittsburgh, PA
Fantastic company! My family has used them for the last five years for a variety of pest-related issues at our house in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, and Stewart always had the lowest prices and best service. We will be using them again when we move into our new home and recommending them far and wide. A++!– Dave K. in Pittsburgh, PA
I hired Greg to deal with a ground yellow jacket nest. He came when he said he would, was very professional, and dealt with the nest quickly and effectively. He’ll definitely be at the top of my list the next time I have any sort of yellow jacket or other pest issues. Thanks again!– Tell V. in Pittsburgh, PA
