Flea infestations can be a hassle for several reasons. On top of their ability to attack you and your pets, fleas can get onto your clothing and end up in your home. And if fleas end up in your home, they can become a much bigger problem. To prevent this, it’s crucial to fight them outdoors. That’s where our professional flea control in Dover comes in. But how are you supposed to know if your outdoor spaces are at risk of a flea infestation?
Signs You Need Flea Control
When it comes to determining whether or not you need flea control, there are a few key signs to keep an eye out for. Let’s take a closer look at some of the environmental factors that increase the chance of a flea infestation:
Wood Piles & Debris
As fleas are seeking out shelter, they tend to go for areas that are dark and damp. Wood piles and areas covered in dense leaf litter fit both of these criteria, making them an ideal hiding spot for these insects. Collections of fallen branches and leaf litter are also often used as hiding spots and breeding grounds by the animals that fleas feed on, giving these pests extra incentive to seek them out.
Tall Grass
Areas covered in tall grass are also frequented by fleas and a long list of other pests. Tall grass is also a common breeding ground for fleas, and they’ll lay their eggs at the base of tall grass because of the cover it provides. If you have tall grass on your property, there’s a higher likelihood that fleas are around.
A Damp Lawn
Fleas like moist areas, especially moist areas that are in the shade. Whether from overwatering or a period of inclement weather, a damp lawn is more desirable for fleas and increases the chances of an infestation.
