Insect Spotlight: Fleas

They are small, irritate you and your pets, and they multiply like crazy. Yes, that’s right, we are talking about fleas.

Fleas are the bane of all pet parents' existence. These pesky pests wreak havoc by biting pets and owners. However, did you know fleas can carry and transmit diseases to you or your pet through those bites? According to the CDC, diseases like Plague, Cat Scratch disease, and Flea-borne typhus are just a few of the diseases carried by fleas.

Here are a few actions to take that mitigate the amount of fleas you have in your home:

1.Bathe your pet with flea shampoo (consult your vet for the best product)

2.Flea Treatments for your pet (consult your vet for the best product)

3.Clean and vacuum your pet(s) space

Once you’ve done the above, your next step is to call a professional. At Easy Peasy, we have a flea program that sprays not only in your home, but your lawn too. Fleas are picked up outside by your pet and brought into your house, where they can multiply very quickly. So, spraying a pet-safe insecticide on your lawn and in your home is your best chance at conquering the infestation.

If you have fleas in your home give us a call and we would be happy to help!
