Pest Control For Your Pets? How To Keep Your Pets Safe

Typically pest problems are perceived as an infestation of pests in a structure or on a property…But what about when pests live on your pets?

Summertime is the most common time for pets to get ticks or fleas living under their coat. While this may come as old news to you, the serious health risks associated with these types of bugs have increased awareness in San Diego County & all over the nation.

Ticks are associated to Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, but can also cause “tick paralysis” in dogs. The effects can result in muscle weakness, loss of coordination & respiratory failure.

Fleas transmit disease to pets with their saliva, diseases such as anemia, dermatitis & transfer of tapeworms. Not to mention fleas can reproduce at a rapid rate.

You can control the pests on your pets by following these tips:

• Thoroughly inspect pets for fleas or ticks during pest season
• Be aware for excessive scratching & nibbling on skin
• Avoid walking in tall grass where tick & fleas tend to live
• Bath pets often
• Wash pet beds, collars, and plush toys
• Vacuum carpets & furniture

Including a regular professional pest control service on your property will ensure that these kinds of bugs stay off your property & your pets can roam freely. And you won’t have to worry.
