Fleas are some of the most annoying pests that can creep into your yard, particularly because of the toll they can take on the health and happiness of your pets. Pets are particularly at risk of flea attacks if they’re consistently spending time outside, but there are certain precautions you can take to keep them safe. Below, we’ll highlight some of these precautions and how our flea control helps Arlington residents minimize their pets’ exposure to these insects.
Tips to Limit Pet Exposure to Fleas
There are several steps you can take to limit your pets’ exposure to fleas and keep them safer. Let’s take a look at some of the most effective flea prevention precautions you can take:
Bathe pets regularly. One of the most effective steps you can take to protect your pets from fleas is to bathe them on a regular basis. Bathing your pets with specialized flea shampoos helps you get these tiny insects out of their fur. Brushing can also help you get fleas out of your pets’ fur, and remove the bodies of dead fleas after shampooing.
Limit contact with stray animals. Fleas are generally passed from animal to animal, which is why stray animals and wild animals are such a significant risk factor for fleas. Limiting your pets’ contact with stray animals and wild animals can go a long way toward preventing them from getting attacked by hungry fleas.
Inspect your pets frequently. Inspecting your pets’ fur on a regular basis can tip you off to the existence of any fleas that are pestering your furry friends. Make sure to pay attention to areas like paws and ears for a thorough search.
