Beginner’s Guide To Flea Treatment In Owings, MD
Think fleas are a minor problem that only affects your pets? Think again.
According to entomological research from the University of Maryland, fleas are:
- Prone to biting humans
- Capable of transmitting several diseases, such as the double-pored dog tapeworm, which can infect dogs, cats, or humans
- Able to live up to a year, and infestations may occur in buildings that have been vacant for up to six months, due to fleas’ ability to survive for months without a blood meal
- Commonly introduced to the home by other pests, such as squirrels, racoons, birds, rodents, and racoons
Fortunately, there are plenty of preventative measures you can take, even before you call in pet-safe pest control service professionals, such as:
- Diligent vacuuming. Vacuum all upholstered furniture and floors, paying particular attention to the areas where your pets sleep and travel.
- Shampoo or steam clean problem areas. Rugs, carpeting, and pet bedding should be thoroughly cleaned.
- Pest exclusion. The less access potential flea hosts have to your home, the lower your risk of flea infestation. Seal up cracks and crevices as best you can and contact our residential pest control service if you find any nests or signs of entry.
