Fleas are among the most irritating pests that can make their way into your home’s outdoor areas. And while they’re largely considered nothing more than a minor annoyance for your pets, fleas can become a major issue if they’re left unaddressed. With our comprehensive flea control, we help Duncansville residents fight off these invasive pests and prevent them from coming back in the future.
Below, we’ll take a look at some common flea hiding places to help you determine where these pests are hanging out on your property and how to reduce their activity on your own.
Common Flea Hotspots
There are several places where fleas (and mosquitoes) can hide in your yard, breed, and grow their numbers. Here’s a closer look at a few of the most common hiding places for fleas:
Tall Grass. Fleas typically aim to avoid sunlight, which is why they look for moist, warm, shaded areas. Tall grass often checks all of those boxes, making it the perfect home for hordes of hungry fleas. To reduce flea activity and prevent these harmful pests from taking up shelter in your yard, an easy step is to keep your grass at a manageable height.
Dense Vegetation. Bushes and shrubs can also provide fleas with the cover they need to thrive and spread throughout your yard. Small animals tend to hide in these places, and it’s these animals that are typically responsible for bringing fleas into your yard in the first place. Cutting back dense greenery wherever possible can help you limit hiding places for fleas and the animals they prey upon, helping you keep their activity lower in the long run.
Warm, Moist Soil. If there are sections of your garden that are shielded from the sun throughout a good portion of the day, fleas will hang out in them quite happily. Warm, moist soil that’s out of the sun is a common flea hotspot, which is why organizing your garden in a way that the sun lights every corner can help you keep pest numbers down.
