Flea and tick season is here again in Plano, TX! While we are spending more time outdoors with our friends, family, and pets, it is important to keep a lookout for these pesky insects to ensure that they do not bite us or that we do not travel indoors with them. The most effective way to keep you and your loved ones protected from them is through treatments. We suggest spraying both outdoors and indoors to cover all of your bases. Before trying to apply those treatments on your own, call a professional to ensure that everything is done safely and effectively.
Apply an outdoor flea and tick treatment to your lawn.
The summer season typically means that your family and your pets are spending more time outside on the lawn. This is a very common place for fleas and ticks to find their way to your skin or your clothing and then follow you indoors. Applying a flea and tick treatment to your lawn is how you can stop the issue at the source.
Lawn pest treatments typically come in two forms: liquid and granular. While both are good, effective options, a liquid treatment will cover every part of the plants around your property, therefore targeting the fleas and ticks that are hanging out on your grass blades and flowers. Granular products, on the other hand, land on the soil and have to be watered to activate them.
Cleaning up debris and regularly mowing your grass are easy tasks to help significantly reduce the flea and tick population on your lawn.
For total protection from fleas and ticks, spray a treatment inside your home.
It is common for fleas and ticks to hitch a ride on your skin, your clothes, or your pet's fur and travel indoors with you. These pests like to nestle into your carpet and stay for a while. To avoid an outbreak indoors, you should also apply flea and tick treatments inside your home.
Indoor pest treatments are typically liquid. They should be sprayed directly onto your carpet. Nowadays, there are flea and tick products that don't require you to remove your pets completely from the house before you spray. All you have to do is keep your pets in a separate room and wait for the product to dry!
Never apply flea and tick treatments on your own - always hire a professional!
You should not try to handle flea and tick treatments on your own. It is so important to call a professional to apply these treatments, especially because you are dealing with chemicals.
Professionals who apply flea and tick treatments for a living not only know the ins and outs of the products they use and how to safely handle them, but they also know exactly where to spray them. They study the life cycle of fleas and ticks and know exactly where the common harborage areas are. They'll spray inside your home and out on your lawn and your landscape beds while focusing on areas where they expect fleas and ticks to be hiding. Trying to do this on your own might result in missed spots and wasted money!
Tell your pest professional if you have any pets and they'll walk you through how to keep them 100% safe during and after the treatment!
