Flea and Tick Prevention in Corpus Christi: Tips for Pet Owners

Fleas carry tapeworms, and ticks can spread Lyme disease, so both of these pests pose a serious threat to dogs, cats, and other animals. With our professional flea and tick prevention services in the Corpus Christi area, Mosquito Hunters^™ can help stop your active infestation, prevent future issues, and secure your yard.

As part of our comprehensive approach to flea and tick control, we encourage every homeowner to take additional steps to reduce these issues. Let’s take a look at our expert tips.

How to Protect Your Pets From Fleas and Ticks

Follow these steps to enhance your protection against fleas and ticks:

• Reduce shade in your yard. Both fleas and ticks love hiding out from the sun. Deny them their shaded habitats by trimming your trees and removing clutter from your yard.
• Limit their outdoor time. With more time outdoors, your pets run a greater risk of encountering fleas and ticks. Also, many flea issues are spread by stray animals, so limited outdoor time also helps to reduce contact with these creatures.
• Inspect your animals. If your pet has been bitten by a tick, you won’t know unless you inspect its skin directly. So, take your fingers and feel beneath the fur for any small hard bumps. If you find any ticks, carefully remove them with a pair of tweezers, making sure to get the entire body. You should also inspect your pets for fleas and flea eggs, as these pests often lay eggs in the fur.
• Consult your vet. Depending on your specific animals, your veterinarian may be able to prescribe helpful flea or tick prevention protocols.
