Keep Pests Under Control With Flea Yard Treatment for Your Nolensville and Columbia, TN, Area Property
You may think that flea yard treatment would be only for pet owners, but even those without pets will appreciate not being bothered by the nuisance of fleas—which can be a risk in some landscapes. Here are some of the reasons why you may want to consider having professionals treat your front yard and backyard for fleas in Nolensville and Columbia, TN.
Protect Your Pets
If you do have pets, then you are likely very familiar with the risk of fleas—these pests love to irritate dogs and cats alike. Fleas suck on the blood of an animal and cause severe itching. Plus, they quickly spread to other areas, such as inside of your home. One female flea can lay up to 2,000 eggs, so if your pooch carries such a flea into your home, you can imagine how fleas can easily multiply in your home in a short period of time.
Fleas can cause numerous problems for your pets including tapeworms. When your pet eats a flea, they are at risk of having tapeworms. These parasites can be up to 12 inches long and they feast upon your pet. You may notice your pet losing weight if they have been infested by a tapeworm.
Protect Your Family
While humans aren’t usually hosts for dog and cat fleas, they are susceptible to being bitten. You want the best for your family and certainly want to protect them from being bitten or affected by fleas in any way.
Fleas have been known to carry diseases such as cat scratch fever, murine typhus, tularemia, and even the bubonic plague. Some of these diseases are more serious than others, but they all come with unpleasant side effects such as headaches, fevers, chills, and nausea. You can easily protect your family by having a professional apply a flea yard treatment that will prevent fleas from infesting your landscape in the first place.
Allergy Prevention
Both humans and pets can have allergic reactions to fleabites. In severe cases, it can cause anaphylaxis. More commonly, you may notice your pets itching fiercely. Both cats and dogs often have the itchiest at the base of their tails. Their skin may turn red and they may develop scabs. In fact, flea allergy dermatitis is a leading cause of allergic reactions in dogs. This allergy can make your pet feel miserable and can easily be avoided by taking the right precautions to prevent fleas from inhabiting your landscape.
No More Flea Collars or Medications
Some pets may be allergic to flea collars or medications, which makes being able to have your lawn treated for fleas a great option. Even if your pet is not allergic to a flea collar, they may become irritated by having to wear one and not keep it on. Giving medications to a pet can be incredibly difficult in some cases. It’s much easier to call up the professionals to apply a flea treatment.
