Flea season can be a nightmare for pet owners and homeowners alike. These tiny pests can quickly infest your home and bite your furry friends, and they can even bite you. But don't worry, with the right knowledge and tools, you can successfully navigate flea season and keep your home flea-free. Mission Pest Control is here to offer you our best tips and tricks for handling fleas this season to keep you and your pets healthy and happy!
1. Identify the Signs of Flea Infestations
The first step in flea control is noticing any signs of flea infestations. Some signs might include your pets scratching excessively, flea dirt (small black specks) on your pets' fur or bedding, and red, itchy bites on your skin. You may even see fleas jumping around on your pet or their bedding. They prefer animals with thick fur because it gives them a place to hide. Once you've identified the signs of flea activity, you can take the next steps to eliminate them.
2. Treat Your Pets for Fleas
If you have pets, they are likely the source of the flea infestation. It's important to treat your pets for fleas to prevent reinfestation and to help them avoid the itching and discomfort that fleas cause them. There are several flea control products available, including flea collars, topical treatments, and oral medications. Consult with your veterinarian to determine the best flea control product for your pet.
3. Clean and Vacuum Your Home Regularly
Fleas can infest your home and lay eggs in carpets, furniture, and bedding. Regular cleaning and vacuuming can help eliminate fleas and prevent their eggs from hatching. Be sure to vacuum under furniture and in hard-to-reach areas, as fleas like to hide in these areas. Empty your vacuum cleaner regularly in your outdoor trash cans.
