As a pet owner, fleas are an issue you must address. These tiny parasitic pests can settle in your yard and attach themselves to your dogs, cats, or other mammals.

To determine if now is the right time to get started with our flea control service, let’s discuss a few methods you can use to detect fleas in your yard.
How to Tell if Your Yard Has Fleas
In order to find fleas, you need to make a bit of an effort. That’s because they are small, silent, and love hiding from the sun. Here are our expert tips for finding fleas in your yard:
Search your grass. Fleas are attracted to shaded habitats that provide warmth without direct sun exposure. For these reasons, your grass makes a perfect home for fleas. They often settle and lay their eggs near your soil, utilizing the shade of your grass blades.
Monitor your pets. Flea bites are very itchy, so if your dogs or cats are scratching themselves more than normal, they likely have flea bites.
Inspect your yard at night. With their disdain for direct sun exposure, fleas are far more active in the nighttime. We recommend searching your yard after the sun goes down, paying special attention to the area between your grass blades near your soil.
