What You Need to Know About Fleas

Fleas are extremely invasive creatures, making their way into your yard in the fur of the small rodents that carry them, like rats and field mice. These pests can be a threat to both you and your furry friends, transmitting dangerous diseases and parasites like plague and tapeworm as they attempt to feed on your blood. Keeping your yard clear of these nuisances is an important part of being able to enjoy your outdoor areas, rather than constantly being worried about getting covered in bites.

Keeping invasive flea populations out of your outdoor spaces requires a dedicated, multi-faceted approach. Some key steps you can complete on your own include putting your pets on flea treatment programs and keeping your yard free of leaf litter and other debris. Flea treatment programs protect your pets and prevent them from carrying fleas into the house, while clearing away debris reduces the number of hiding places for the rodents that can carry fleas onto your property.
