Perhaps you are not thinking about fleas when you consider hiring a Nashville pest control company .
After all, flea infestations only occur in pet-loving homes – or do they ? Actually, no. Fleas thrive in our climate and their presence is not relegated to only homes with pets. Our outdoor natural environment is far more likely to foster flea habitats than our pets are to carry them in from somewhere else. They thrive in environments with standing water, lots of shade, overgrown vegetation or underbrush, and wild animals to feed on. Stray animals are also capable of carrying fleas onto our property. Here are a few reasons you will want to address your flea issues with effective flea pest control in Nashville by Mosquito Squad.
Fleas Are Gross, Annoying, and Potentially Dangerous
Fleas are parasites, which means they feed on hosts, and in this case, it’s blood they seek. Though they are minuscule, fleas can very quickly make themselves known with the itchy clusters of bites they leave behind. Your family and pets are equally at risk for flea bite reactions that require OTC medication or even a visit to the doctor. They are additionally responsible for diseases, like typhus, tapeworm, and plague! Your health and well-being could be at risk if you do not seek flea control .
One Flea, Two Fleas, Three Fleas, More
How often have you seen one flea on your ankle, or in your dog’s fur, but simply took it off and squished it? We perform mundane functions like this every day, but when it comes to finding a flea, we must stop and look for more of their parasitic pals. Fleas proliferate at astounding rates. Their eggs and larvae can even live in your carpet or on your pets. And once their infestations take hold inside, it becomes very difficult to rid yourself of them.
If you see even a single flea outside your home, it behooves you to call in pest control company to complete an assessment to determine your need for outdoor flea pest control. Controlling them outdoors will help allay your chances of suffering an indoor infestation.
FLEA FUN FACT: A flea infestation is known as a scratch. Aptly titled if you ask us!
