Fleas are one of the most pesky of pests. Even if you don’t have pets of your own, your yard can still be susceptible. Fleas can live on wildlife around your home such as squirrels, rodents, racoons, and skunks. As animals travel, flea eggs will fall off of their hosts and onto the ground, where they will continue through their life stages until they are ready for a new host to feed on.
The warmer months in South Carolina are when they are most active. Keeping your grass cut short and not letting your bushes and shrubs get overgrown is one way to help prevent an infestation in your yard.
When it comes to getting rid of fleas in your house, you’ll likely run into an ongoing battle. Fleas can multiply quickly, with females capable of laying between 20-50 eggs per day, making it difficult to eradicate this pest on your own. You may spend more on the “do it yourself sprays” than just hiring a pest control professional to take care of it for you.
The most important first step in eliminating fleas is to find the source. If it happens to be your dog or cat, it is important to consult a veterinarian to figure out a proper solution for flea control.
