Common Flea Types In Your Area

Since you live in our service area, you’re most likely going to encounter the same type of flea as our other competitors. In particular, our clients enter cat fleas. Don’t be mistaken. Despite the name, cat fleas are problematic for other animals too. For instance, they often target dogs, raccoons, skunks, foxes, and more. They’re difficult to deal with because they’re thin, fast, and difficult to grab. If you attempt to snatch them using your fingers, they will jump out of your gasp. They’re only an eighth of an inch in length and very thin.

If you look at them from above, they’ll look like a credit card. The best way to tackle a flea infestation is by teaming up with qualified experts. Remember that our team is always here to help you. Just give us a call and we’ll begin working hard to resolve this issue for you promptly.

Worried About Flea Bites?

You should be worried about flea bites because they can lead to major issues soon or later. If you’re being bitten, you’re going to develop nasty welts. If your pet is targeted, the problems are going to be immensely worse. For instance, a pet may experience flea allergy dermatitis that can cause it to lose its hair. Typically, this happens due to the flea’s saliva. If you’re dealing with a heavy infestation, the risks are much higher. Pets can experience anemia, severe blood loss, and more. In some cases, a flea infestation could be fatal. You’ll also have to worry about the fleas spreading tapeworms.

• Be cautious about adopting another pet. If it happens to have fleas, the pet is going to bring fleas onto your property. Always second-guess your decision.
• Your current pets should be protected by using anti-parasite medications. Be sure to talk to your vet and get products designed to prevent and control fleas.
• Keep your grass cut. Typically, you should never let your grass grow three inches or taller. Keep it short to keep fleas away from your property.
• Be hesitant to feed the wildlife around your property. They might be cute, but they may also have fleas. Keep them away from your property by making sure they cannot find food nearby. Never feed them.
• Prevent wild animals from climbing under your deck. If necessary, be sure to install a wire to keep wild animals out.
• Check your pets regularly. They may already have fleas. When you bathe them, be sure to look for fleas carefully. You’ll also want to check their sheets, covers, clothes, and beds.
• You can also check for flea dirt. It is a sign that you’re dealing with a flea infestation.
