Why University Heights Has a Fleas Problem
University Heights' mix of pre-war walk-ups, apartment buildings near Bronx Community College, and residential homes along tree-lined streets can all experience flea problems, especially in buildings with shared walls or outdoor spaces.

Why Choose Us for Flea Treatment in University Heights
Flea infestations require treating all life stages simultaneously — adult fleas are only about 5% of the population at any time, with eggs, larvae, and pupae hiding in carpets, furniture, and pet bedding making up the other 95%. Our treatment protocol covers all interior floor surfaces with a combination of adulticide (to kill adults on contact) and insect growth regulator (IGR) to prevent eggs and larvae from developing into biting adults. We treat pet resting areas with particular thoroughness, and advise on concurrent pet treatment with your veterinarian to prevent re-infestation from the animal. Our 30-day guarantee accounts for the 1–2 week pupal emergence period — if fleas persist, we re-treat.

Flea Treatment in University Heights — FAQs
How much does flea treatment cost in University Heights?▾
Our flea treatment services in University Heights range from $350 to $650, depending on the size of your home or apartment, the severity of the infestation, and whether multiple rooms require treatment. We provide free inspections and upfront pricing before beginning any work.
How long does flea treatment take to work in my University Heights apartment?▾
Most flea treatments show significant results within 24-48 hours, with adult fleas dying quickly after application. However, complete elimination typically takes 2-3 weeks as eggs and pupae hatch and are exposed to the treatment. We often recommend a follow-up visit to ensure all life stages are eliminated.
Do I need to leave my University Heights home during flea treatment?▾
Yes, we recommend that all residents and pets vacate the premises for 2-4 hours during and immediately after treatment to allow products to dry and settle. You'll receive specific instructions based on the treatment method used, and we'll let you know exactly when it's safe to return.
Can fleas come back after treatment in University Heights buildings?▾
While our treatment is highly effective, re-infestation can occur if fleas are reintroduced by pets, from neighboring units in multi-family buildings, or from outdoor areas. We provide guidance on preventive measures and offer follow-up treatments if needed. Treating your pets simultaneously with veterinary flea products is essential for long-term success.
