Fleas
We Are Your Flea Control Specialists
Since 1948, Witten Pest Control, has provided quality, professional and affordable flea exterminators and long-term treatments to residential and commercial customers throughout the San Antonio area.
Fleas can make you, your family and your pets absolutely miserable! Here in the San Antonio area, fleas can be active year-round. So even in the cooler weather, fleas can easily be present in your home or office.
Witten Pest Control has the solutions you need to control fleas. Each of our flea treatments is completed using professional grade materials to kill fleas on contact as well as an IGR (insect growth regulator) that aids in preventing flea eggs from hatching.
The best time to call a professional is when you see just a few fleas because adult fleas make up only 5% of the population meaning there can be hundreds or thousands of eggs just waiting to hatch out.
Our belief today, as it has been for over 70 years, is that experience, not salesmanship is a critical key to providing the most effective assessment of conducive conditions for flea activity in your property.
At Witten Pest Control our customers receive safe, affordable, quality flea control services. Because we stand behind our work, provide excellent service, and care about all of our customers; there is no need to bind customers to long-term contracts or agreements.

Flea Control Facts
Flea Life Cycle
Because of a flea’s life cycle, control can be nearly impossible without the help of a professional.
To get your flea problem under control quickly – start here by downloading our Flea Treatment Preparation Guide.
Flea Egg Stage
Eggs are laid onto the host by adult female fleas. The eggs then fall off the host into the environment where they will hatch out as flea larvae.
Flea Larvae Stage
Larvae are small (about 5mm long) and feed on the debris from the host as well as flea dirt. Larvae feed on flea dirt because it is high in protein and isn’t completely digested by the adult flea.
Flea larvae are not generally seen because they try and live as deep as possible. When they mature they spin into a cocoon like a caterpillar does to form the pupae stage.
Flea Pupae Stage
This stage is the main culprit of flea problems!
Flea pupae can remain dormant up to 9 months. This is the last stage before a flea becomes an adult. Adult fleas can emerge from the cocoon as early as 3 to 5 days or stay dormant waiting for the right time to come out.
Things such as ambient temperatures, high humidity and vibrations and carbon dioxide emitted by passing animals can cause the flea to emerge from the cocoon faster.
Adult Flea Stage
Adult fleas are very flat side to side. As soon as the flea leaves the pupae stage and enters the adult stage they are immediately looking for food.
Fleas have 3 pairs of legs and the back most legs are designed for jumping. They have hair-like bristles that help them navigate through animal hair.
We take flea and tick control very seriously!
As advocates and supporters of the homeless, abused and neglected pet population is our area, we are all too familiar with the damage fleas and ticks can cause to dogs and cats.
As a community effort, we offer no cost and low cost flea and tick treatments to registered dog and cat rescue groups in our area.
