Among all the pests that can creep into your home’s outdoor spaces, fleas can be some of the most problematic. These invasive insects, along with terrorizing your pets, can end up in your home and cover you and your family with itchy bites. And while fighting these pests on your own is possible, it’s tough to get the job done right without help from the pros. With that said, there are still steps you can take. Below, we’ll take a look at some key flea control tips and how our team helps in Ashburn yards.
Flea Control Tips for Keeping These Pests at Bay
There’s a wide range of different steps you can take to make your yard less welcoming to invading fleas. Here’s a closer look at a few of them:
Mow Tall Grass. Tall grass is one of the most common hiding places for fleas. These insects will lay their eggs at the base of tall grass to provide them with the shelter they need to develop and hatch without being disturbed. Mowing tall grass to a more manageable height will help you make your yard less attractive to fleas and reduce the activity of these pests in your home’s outdoor spaces.
Trim Back Dense Greenery. Dense greenery can not only harbor fleas, but it can also attract and shelter the animals that can carry fleas onto your property. Raccoons, opossums, and a long list of other animals can bring fleas onto your property, and they’ll keep coming back if there are places to hide. Trimming back any dense greenery on your property will help you reduce animal activity and the presence of fleas in your yard.
Tidy Up Any Clutter. Piles of sticks, collections of leaf litter, fallen branches, and other clutter can also act as a shelter for fleas and the animals that carry them. Simply tidying up your yard can go a long way toward keeping out fleas and the animals that bring them into your yard.
