Flea and Tick Control Problems

Flea and Tick Control Problems


Seems like there have been a lot more pest control calls in our area for flea and tick related issues in the home. One of the first lines of defence in flea and tick control is to make sure that your pet stays out of areas that have potential infestations, such as sandy locations, overgrown shrubs, and trees.


Another place to look out for are areas that have large populations of animals such as squirrels, possums, rodents, etc... If you are seeing any of these animals or others, that is an indication that you may have a high animal population in the area.


Sadly, sometimes your neighbours may be the source of an infestation at your home as well if they have a lot of pets in their yard that are not being protected from fleas and ticks.


Although they do not prevent fleas and ticks from biting your pets there are medications you can obtain from your veterinarian as well. Flea and tick prevention products in the form of drops, pills, and collars may be obtained under the direction of a veterinarian to prevent fleas and ticks from living and breeding on your pet.


Finally, control methods may need to be implemented by a professional pest control company to treat your yard and/or home. There are a variety of products available to pest control operators that can solve your problem quickly. It is important to consider the cost vs. benefit factor when dealing with a flea and tick problem. In most cases, it is best to have a licensed, professional exterminator do the job instead of trying to do it on your own.
