How Do Fleas & Ticks Get Inside?

Fleas and ticks are drawn to Maryland’s mild climate, which provides an ideal environment for them to thrive. These tiny pests are often carried into your area by wildlife, such as deer or small mammals, which frequent local yards and parks. Additionally, they can hitch a ride on pets or even people, making their way into your home or business without much effort. Understanding their habits gives you a head start in preventing a larger problem.

Fleas traits and activity:

Jumping machines: Fleas can leap great distances, allowing them to move from host to host effortlessly.
Rapid reproduction: A single flea can produce hundreds of eggs in just a few days.
Love for pets - They are particularly fond of cats and dogs, often latching onto them for food and shelter.

Tick traits and activity:

Sneaky climbers: Ticks often perch on tall grass or shrubs, waiting for animals or people to brush past.
Slow feeders: They can stay attached to a host for days, feeding on blood for extended periods.
Seasonal patterns: While active in most months, ticks are especially prevalent in warmer seasons.

An infestation of fleas or ticks can lead to numerous issues, ranging from skin irritation to the transmission of diseases like Lyme disease. These pests are not only a nuisance but a potential health hazard. Addressing the problem early with our professional pest control services at David and Sons Pest can save you a lot of trouble.

Flea & Tick Prevention Tips

At David and Sons Pest, we believe that educating our customers is key to lasting pest control success. We don’t just address the immediate problem; we aim to keep it from coming back. The last thing you want after investing in our treatment is a resurgence of fleas or ticks.

Here are some helpful tips to prevent these pests from making a comeback:

Regularly groom pets: Give your pets frequent baths and regular grooming, especially if they spend a lot of time outdoors. Using veterinarian-recommended flea and tick prevention products can be very effective.
Keep your yard tidy: Mow your lawn frequently and trim back shrubs to reduce places where ticks can hide. Dispose of any yard debris, which can provide shelter for fleas and ticks.
Vacuum often: Pay close attention to areas where pets rest. Vacuuming not only removes fleas from carpets and furniture but also eliminates flea eggs before they hatch.
Wash pet bedding: Clean and wash your pet’s bedding regularly in hot water to kill any existing fleas or ticks.
Check your pets and family: After spending time outside, inspect pets and family members for any ticks that might have hitched a ride. Prompt removal is crucial to prevent attachment and feeding.

By incorporating these steps into your routine, you can reduce the risk of a repeat infestation. Remember, we’re always here to support you through every step of the process.
