What are the worst months for fleas?

Here in Austin, fleas are a nuisance that really never goes away.

But are some periods of time throughout the year worse than others for fleas in Texas? Because fleas require heat and humidity to thrive, you are likely to see fleas in early springtime through summer, as well as autumn as the weather cools. You will not see the worst of fleas during extreme heat, but you can still encounter them. Seeing more fleas in the fall isn’t simply to do with the fact that weather conditions are right. I could also be due to your pet growing its thicker, cool-weather coat, where fleas are likely to dive into for sustenance.

The problem with fleas is that they are not just a nuisance.

Sure, fleas can deliver terribly itchy bite reactions to humans and animals alike. But the problem with fleas is that they can also pose a threat to our health, as well as our pets’. Fleas are responsible for about seven annual cases of bubonic plague in the United States. Additionally, fleas can cause severe bite reactions in those who are allergic. Their itchy bites can lead to sores and hair loss for our pets, and during extreme infestations, fleas can cause your pet to become anemic.

Flea protection for pets is step one in fighting fleas.

It is always recommended that your pets be treated per their veterinarian’s recommendations. Some methods of protection also include tick protection and heartworm prevention. Some flea protection products are topical products, which are applied periodically. Others come in the form of treated collars. There is no correct answer that goes for all pets. That is why it is always advisable to follow your vet’s instructions for every pet in your home.

Flea control for the whole family brings your effort full-circle.

Austin flea control is essential for your whole family if you live in an area where fleas survive and thrive. Fleas will seek out shaded, warm, humid environments. Therefore, if you live by a lake, river, or stream, your property could be an ideal home. Professional flea control will eliminate fleas and weaken their threat to your health and happiness.
