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.
