Flea Prevention in Youngsville: Signs of an Infestation & How to Prevent One

Fleas are small, flightless insects that can cause major health issues for your household pets. They also spread itchy bites, reproduce rapidly, and often migrate indoors. These pests can be truly awful to deal with, but with professional flea prevention throughout Youngsville, Mosquito Hunters^™ provides relief. To get started, let’s take a look at a few key signs of a potential flea infestation.

Signs of a Flea Infestation

If you’re uncertain about whether fleas are living on your property, look for the following signs:

• Excessive scratching. Are your pets scratching themselves more than usual?
• Rapid hair loss. Do they seem to be losing fur?
• Inflamed skin. Do they have any unexplained red marks?
• Constant agitation. Do they seem upset or uncomfortable?
• Pale gums. Have you noticed any changes to their gums or mouth?

How to Prevent Fleas

The first thing to do when you discover any of the flea signs listed above is to contact your vet. After that, it’s time to start thinking about prevention. To reduce future flea issues, here are some tips:

• Keep up with regular landscaping. Fleas love the shade, so trimming your trees and shrubs can deprive them of their preferred habitats.
• Remove all clutter from your yard. For the same reason, it’s important to remove any objects from your yard that can create shade.
• Inspect your pets’ fur for flea eggs. These pests often lay eggs in the fur of your household pets, so check your animals often.
• Avoid contact with stray animals. Fleas are parasitic creatures, so they are often transferred from one animal to another. This means that stray animals that live outdoors are often infected, so be sure to keep your animals away.
