Your family, your pets, your peace of mind – fleas can negatively affect them all!
Perhaps when you think of fleas, you imagine seeing your dog or cat scratching themselves inside your house – not the fact that they are inhabiting your backyard. The truth is your yard is very often ground zero for flea infestations. Treating them outdoors is the first step in keeping them from hitching a ride inside on your pets’ backs!
At Mosquito Squad of Hartford, we help homeowners get ahead of potential flea infestations with targeted flea control treatments that address the root of the problem – your yard!
Why Are Fleas a Problem in My Yard?
Fleas love warm, shady, and humid outdoor spaces. It just so happens that our summer weather is agreeable to these nigh imperceptible insects! Seasonal conditions, wild animal populations, and ample hiding spots all play into the flea problem in your yard.
Common flea hotspots include:
- Tall grass and overgrown shrubs
- Leaf litter and mulch beds
- Under decks, porches, and pet shelters
· Wildlife travel paths used by squirrels, raccoons, or opossums
Even if your pets are treated with flea prevention, they can still carry fleas indoors if your yard is infested.
Fleas Are More Than a Nuisance
Fleas are tiny, but the problems they might cause can be big and expensive. They can cause maddening itching and discomfort to humans and pets alike. Their bites can lead to allergic reactions and dermatitis. They can transmit tapeworms to our pets, and ailments like typhus, cat scratch fever, and plague in humans.
And woe to any home and family that falls victim to a flea infestation! Fleas can lay hundreds of eggs in carpets, bedding, and furniture, which makes removal extremely challenging.
