Q: Do bed bugs go away after one treatment?

• <div><p>Bed bugs do not always go away after one treatment. A small case may be a one-and-done deal, but many infestations need about two to four visits within about six weeks to fully eradicate the pests in your home. It&rsquo;s critical to stick to your treatment plan to ensure any existing eggs don&rsquo;t hatch and create a new infestation. </p></div>

Q: How long can fleas live without a host?

• <div><p>Adult fleas can live from a few days to about two weeks without a host. If pets are not available, fleas may feed on rodents or people. While adult fleas need a blood source to survive, flea pupae can lie dormant for up to a year in optimal conditions. Therefore, cleaning and treating the infested area is essential to prevent pupae from surviving and hatching later.</p></div>
