Why Fleas, Ticks & Mosquitos Are a Bigger Threat in Summer
Warmer weather and increased outdoor activity make summer peak season for pests:
-
Fleas thrive in warm, humid environments and can multiply rapidly. A single flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day!
-
Ticks are especially active in wooded areas, tall grass, and even in suburban backyards. They can carry dangerous diseases like Lyme, Ehrlichiosis, and Anaplasmosis.
-
Mosquitos aren’t just annoying—they’re carriers of heartworm disease, which can be fatal if left untreated.
Even if your pet spends most of their time indoors, they’re still at risk—you can carry these pests inside on your clothing, shoes, or other pets.
Summer Pest Control: Prevention Is Everything
Here are some tried-and-true strategies to help protect your pets this season:
Daily Checks
Run your hands through your pet’s coat after outdoor play to check for fleas, ticks, or bites—especially around ears, neck, underarms, and between toes.
Yard Maintenance
Keep your lawn trimmed and remove brush or leaf piles where fleas and ticks can hide. Consider using pet-safe pest control products around the yard.
Bathing and Grooming
Regular baths with a gentle, flea-repelling shampoo can help keep pests at bay. Brushing also makes it easier to spot unwanted hitchhikers.
