Flea infestations can be a persistent problem affecting homes and businesses. As a locally trusted pest control expert, we understand the unique challenges of flea infestations in Johnstown and have developed comprehensive flea control services to protect your property, family, and pets.
Fleas are tiny, wingless parasites that thrive by feeding on the blood of mammals and birds. While there are various species of fleas, the most common ones in Johnstown are cat fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) and dog fleas (Ctenocephalides canis).

These tiny pests are agile jumpers, allowing them to move rapidly between hosts and infest various areas of a property. Flea infestations are often introduced by pets, wildlife, or even human visitors unknowingly carrying fleas into the premises.
Ctenocephalides felis or Cat Flea transmits flea-borne typhus and cat scratch disease. They are found on pets, including cats, dogs, and other domestic animals. They can transmit the plague but not as effectively as rat fleas and ground squirrel fleas, which are uncommon in Philadelphia.
Ctenocephalides canis or Dog flea, transmits Dipylidium caninum, a tapeworm commonly found in dogs and cats but occasionally found in humans. Despite their name, dog fleas are not typically found on domestic dogs in the United States.
Flea infestations can quickly escalate, and their bites can cause intense itching and discomfort for humans and their pets. Moreover, fleas are known to spread diseases, such as murine typhus and tapeworms, posing a significant health risk to your family and pets. Attempting to handle a flea infestation with DIY solutions such as thorough and regular cleaning of pets, their beds, and other surfaces, and vacuuming daily, may offer temporary relief but often fails to eliminate the root cause, resulting in recurring infestations.
While the above measures can buy you some time, we recommend hiring a trusted local pest control service to address your flea problem. Here’s why:
At Protective Pest Management, we take a systematic and tailored approach to flea control to ensure effective and lasting results.
Our flea control process comprises the following key steps:
