Get Rid of Fleas with A B Pest Control & Insulation

Spring is officially here, which means we'll begin to see pests of all kinds entering our homes. Fleas are just one of the many pests that'll start to become more active with the warmer weather. And these opportunistic pests will require immediate action if seen in your home. There are several ways fleas can enter, but once they do it's important you take the proper steps to get rid of them. A B Pest Control & Insulation is providing a few tips to follow if you find fleas in your home.

Keep Pets Clean & Protected
Did you know that animals like raccoons and other wild animals carry fleas? If these animals live under your home or like to hang out on porches, decks or other areas around your home, they can drop off fleas on outside rugs, which could be carried into your home.

Pets are the number one way fleas get into your home. If you have dogs, cats or any other type of animal with fur, be sure to keep them clean. It's also a good idea to regularly clean their toys and bedding as flea eggs can be dropped and . If fleas have gotten into your home, don't forget to include any toys made with fabric material and their bedding, as the fleas may have infested those as well.

It's important to keep all animals protected from fleas by using preventative medication. If you are using liquid treatment, be sure to get it on their skin and not their fur, as that is where the fleas will infest. You can also get a monthly pill treatment to prevent fleas and ticks from your vet if you do not wish to use the liquid treatment. By treating your pet, you'll prevent new fleas from hitching a ride back into your home.

Treating the Environment
Fleas are tiny little creatures, so if you can see them in your home, it usually means they've eaten and are now on the move to lay eggs, which is the beginning of a major infestation. If they aren't treated properly, they can continue to hatch and reproduce causing you to have to do another full round of treatment. Here are just a few things you need to remember when treating on your own.

It's important to use products that are specifically tailored to treat fleas when trying to prevent, control and treat them. Fleas are resilient, and they can linger in areas for long periods of time before making their appearance - or reappearance. This is why it's important to use the right products to prevent and treat fleas. Vacuuming often is an effective way to get rid of fleas that have infested carpets. However, it's important to remember to dump the dirty bag in an outside trash can to avoid bringing eggs, larvae or grown fleas that have survived the vacuuming back inside your home. Treating the environment gets rid of existing eggs, larvae and grown fleas that might infest later on.

Spring Forward this Sunday!

It's that time of year again when we'll be setting our clocks an hour ahead for Daylight Savings! Daylight Saving Time will begin it’s eight-month run this Sunday at 2:00 am. Have you ever wondered where this tradition of turning time comes from or how it benefits us? There are a lot of questions and myths that surround Daylight Saving Time and A B Pest Control & Insulation has some fun facts about this mysterious time change.

What is Daylight Saving Time?
First things first, most people tend to call it “daylight savings time” or even “spring forward”. While it essentially means the same, the correct term is Daylight Saving Time. Daylight Saving Time is centered around making better use of the day’s light. This is why an hour of daylight is shifted from the morning to the evening during springtime and vice versa in the fall.

Who’s In Charge Of Daylight Saving Time?
Did you know that the Department of Transportation (DOT) is actually the organization in charge of daylight saving time and all time zones in the U.S.? According to their website, they are in charge of time and time zones “because time standards are important for many modes of transportation”. The DOT says that daylight saving is observed because it saves energy, saves lives by preventing traffic accidents, and also reduces crime. In 2007, the federal government expanded daylight saving time in order to reduce energy consumption. Daylight saving time now accounts for about 65% of the year.

Who Has The Final Say?
While many people may agree about the benefits, not everyone agrees that daylight saving time offers energy-saving benefits. When it comes down to actually observing daylight saving time, it’s purely a state matter. How a state determines that, whether it’s through a law, resolution, or executive order, is up to them. If a state decides to no longer follow daylight saving time, they would just need to inform the Department of Transportation, and of course the rest of the world.

Hawaii and most of Arizona are the only states in the U.S. that don’t participate in daylight saving time. Arizona opted out in 1968, but certain Native American reservations in Arizona still follow daylight saving time. Other places that don’t observe daylight saving time include American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

Spring Forward This Sunday
Whether you agree with it or not, daylight saving time is just around the corner, so don't forget or your routine will be thrown off! A B Pest Control & Insulation wants to remind you to set your clocks ahead an hour before going to bed Saturday night. With the time change and the longer days, if you happen to find creepy crawlers around your home, give your pest control company at the Lake of the Ozarks a call. We’ve got you covered!
