Why Summer Brings More Than Just Sunshine
Summer means BBQs, beach days, and more time outside—but it also means the return of mosquitoes and fleas. These pests aren’t just annoying; they carry serious health risks for both humans and pets.
In this ultimate guide, we’ll walk you through the most effective strategies for mosquito and flea prevention and how Mosquito Sheriff can help keep your home and yard protected all season long.
Understanding the Threat: Mosquitoes & Fleas
Mosquitoes
These buzzing nuisances can carry West Nile virus, Zika virus, and other dangerous pathogens. They breed in standing water and thrive in warm, humid conditions.
Fleas
Fleas don’t just make your pets miserable—they can also transmit tapeworms and cause skin infections. One flea can lay up to 50 eggs a day, quickly turning a small problem into a major infestation.

Top Tips for Mosquito and Flea Prevention
✅ 1. Eliminate Standing Water
Mosquitoes need water to breed, so regularly check and empty:
-
Pet bowls
-
Birdbaths
-
Plant trays
-
Clogged gutters
✅ 2. Keep Your Lawn Trimmed
Fleas and mosquitoes love tall grass and shady areas. Regular mowing and landscaping help reduce their hiding spots.
✅ 3. Protect Your Pets
Use veterinarian-approved flea preventatives. Wash pet bedding frequently and keep outdoor lounging areas clean.

✅ 4. Use Natural Repellents
Plant citronella, lavender, rosemary, or marigolds in your yard. These not only beautify your space but also deter pests naturally.
