About Fleas

Fleas like moisture and minimal sun. When outside, they stay close to the ground in grassy areas where eggs are deposited. The eggs will hatch bringing a new generation of adult fleas that lie in wait for the next mobile food source.

Dangers of Flea Infestations

Whether you take your dog for a walk, or your kitty has access to the yard, the fleas will attach themselves to the pet, who will then bring the pest into the home. Even if your pet does not go outside, fleas can find their way into the home via your socks, pant legs, or shoes. Once inside, the infestation of your home and your pet begins.

Fleas may be tiny but they can be dangerous to your pets. They carry germs that can infect pets and damage their health.
