How You Can Prevent Spring Fleas In Your Home
Spring pests are in abundance, as they are just emerging from a long winter's nap. These pests are all out and about looking for food and some, such as fleas are looking for a host. Fleas are going to be in full force in the spring and summer months, and you need to be ahead of the game to help prevent them from finding you or your pets as their host. Read on for some tips to help you prevent fleas in your home this spring.
Spray Your Yard With A Pesticide
Spray the yard using a pesticide to kill the fleas and any other pests you may have an issue with. Fleas are usually hidden in the grasses and tall weeds in your yard, and when your pet or you are outside, they can attach themselves to you or your pet and then make their way into your home. The fleas are looking for a host, and they don't care if it's a wild animal, your pet, or you. They are only looking for a way to survive. Spraying a pesticide will help kill them in your yard before they can make their way to your home.
Trim Your Yard
You need to keep your yard trimmed and keep up with the weeding to keep tall grasses and weeds at bay. Fleas prefer this type of environment, and if you have this type of yard, they may be infesting your yard at this very moment. You need to keep your yard trimmed and weeded, even around fencing and around other structures where taller grasses may grow wild. Also, be sure to trim bushes and low-hanging trees.
Keep Your Pets Out Of The Woods
If you have woods near your home, or an area close by that is full of weeds or thick with trees and grasses, you need to keep your pets out of these areas to prevent fleas from infesting your pets. Keep your pets in your yard and in your yard only. You also need to find a way to keep the wildlife out of your yard, as these pests can be infested with fleas and bring them to your yard as well.
If you have a problem with fleas in the spring months, there are a number of things you may be able to do to help prevent them from getting into your home. Hire a professional pest control expert to help you prevent this pest issue in the upcoming months.
