The Flea Problem in Johnstown, PA: A Common Nuisance

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, common flea in Philadelphia

    Ctenocephalides felis

    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, common flea in Philadelphia

    Ctenocephalides canis

    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.

What To Do If You Have A Flea Infestation

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: 

  • Effective Treatment: Professionals have access to powerful and effective treatments that you do not. Our pest control technicians have the knowledge and equipment to safely and effectively remove fleas at every stage in their life cycle and keep them away.
  • Risk Reduction: Incorrect application of pest control products can lead to further infestations and potential harm to your family or pets. Fleas have a long life cycle making them difficult to eradicate effectively  with DIY techniques.
  • Experience: Professional exterminators can accurately identify the type or types of fleas you are dealing with, where they are laying eggs, and have the skill and equipment to eliminate them and prevent new infestations. We approach flea infestations holistically, applying extermination and preventative treatments to the exterior and interior.
