Flea Pest Control in Spokane
The Pet-Safe Solution to Stubborn Flea Infestations
A flea infestation is one of the most frustrating and persistent problems a homeowner in Spokane can face. These pests are not just a nuisance to your pets; they bite humans and, most importantly, are incredibly difficult to get rid of with store-bought products alone due to their complex life cycle.
At Prosite, we are licensed and insured professionals who understand the science behind flea control. With nearly 15 years of experience, we use research-backed, pet-safe treatments to break the flea life cycle, eliminating 95% of the problem hiding in your home, not just the adults on your pet.

Understanding the Flea Life Cycle
The reason so many flea treatments fail is that they only target the adult fleas, which account for just 5% of the total infestation. The other 95%—the eggs, larvae, and pupae—remain hidden deep in your carpets, furniture, pet bedding, and floor cracks, waiting to hatch and start the cycle all over again.
- Stage 1: Eggs (50% of Infestation): An adult female flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day. These microscopic eggs are not sticky and quickly fall off your pet, spreading throughout your home wherever your pet goes.
- Stage 2: Larvae (35% of Infestation): The eggs hatch into tiny, worm-like larvae. They actively avoid light and burrow deep into carpets, upholstery, and dark corners, feeding on organic debris (like adult flea feces).
- Stage 3: Pupae (10% of Infestation): The larvae spin a sticky, protective cocoon to become pupae. This stage is the most difficult to kill. The cocoon is resistant to most insecticides and can lie dormant for months, waiting for the right conditions—like warmth, vibration, or carbon dioxide from a host—to emerge.
- Stage 4: Adults (5% of Infestation): Once an adult flea emerges from its cocoon, it must find a blood meal within hours. This is the stage you see jumping on your pets, but it signals a much larger, hidden problem.
Simply washing your pet or using a flea bomb will not penetrate the pupal cocoons or kill all the hidden larvae. Effective control requires a professional, scientific approach that targets every single stage of this cycle.
Why DIY Flea Methods Often Fail
It is a frustrating cycle: you treat your pet, wash the bedding, and spray the house, only to find more fleas a week later. DIY methods fail because they do not account for the flea's biology. Flea bombs and foggers, for example, cannot penetrate deep into carpets where larvae hide.
Most store-bought sprays lack the long-lasting residual effect needed to kill the new adults that emerge from their cocoons days or weeks later. Without an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) to sterilize the developing stages, you are only fighting a small part of the problem.
Professional treatment is different. It uses a combination of research-backed products to kill active adults and an IGR to stop the infestation at its source. This breaks the reproductive cycle and is the only way to achieve complete, lasting elimination.

Skunks
Their most unique feature is their black body which has a white stripe starting at their head and divides into two stripes that travel down their entire body and tail. But, their most identifiable characteristic is the extremely foul odor that skunks spray from glands found at the base of their tail as a defense mechanism. If sprayed directly into a person's or animal's eyes the spray can cause temporary blindness.
Adult skunks grow to between 20 and 30 inches in length, with their tail adding 7-15 inches to their total length. Adults weigh between 2.5 and 11.5 pounds (i.e. the size of a small housecat).
*Limited services available for skunks.

Raccoons
Raccoons have many easily recognizable physical features including a black “mask” of fur that surrounds their eyes, fluffy black and gray ringed tails, and a hunched appearance caused because their hind legs are longer than their front legs. Their bodies are covered in dense salt and peppered colored fur. Raccoons may grow to up to three feet in length and weigh between 10 and 30 pounds.
