Flea Control – A Year-Round Need
Every day is flea season in Texas. Because fleas have adapted to living in colder environments, their life cycle goes through a period of dormancy until the weather warms. In Texas, we don’t really have a true winter. Sure the weather gets a bit cooler and wetter, but not the freezing cold, usually, of the northern states. What that means for Byran and College Station is that fleas are present year-round.
The Cat Flea
The cat flea is perhaps the most common type of flea in Texas, and don’t let the name fool you. They don’t mind pestering dogs and other mammals, either. If you have indoor and outdoor pets, be sure to talk with your vet about monthly maintenance programs that treat your pet against fleas.
The big problem with fleas is that they don’t always stay on the pet. They may also lay eggs in carpeting, clothing, and other places in your house. Outside, fleas tend to lay eggs in the ground, and in the spring, when the warmer weather hits, they emerge by the millions, and each is very hungry.
How Do Fleas Get Into the House?
Pets are one way that fleas get into the house. However, it is usually on people’s clothing that brings outdoor fleas indoors. We walk across the lawn to get the morning paper, fleas jump on us to feed, and we bring them indoors. We help them indoors all day long.
Flea Control
Because of the mild winter in Texas, flea control is a year-round deal. Yards and hedgerows should be treated periodically and before the warmer weather hits. We offer year-round services in our affordable monthly service contract. The value is that you receive expert pest control service all year long, and we address all types of pest services each month.
