As warmer weather approaches, so too do the flea problems that often plague so many households. While you certainly don’t have to have a pet to deal with fleas, most households that do have flea problems have some kind of pet in or near the house. Even houses with outdoor dogs and cats may end up infested with fleas. Wondering how to prevent this problem? These tips can help.

• Treat Your Pet – The most important step you can take is to make certain your pets get treated for fleas. Regular treatment using some of the best flea medicines available can help to make certain your pet doesn’t track fleas in or near your house. 


• Clean Pet Bedding – If your pet sleeps in the house, you’ll need to carefully clean your pet’s bedding. If your dog or cat doesn’t have any bedding, make sure you carefully clean there area where he or she sleeps on a regular basis. This can include the cushions of the couch, carpets, and more. If possible, throw the bedding in the washer on the warmest setting. If that’s not an option, you may want to try using a topical cleaner.


• Sweep and Vacuum – Keeping your floor clean is also an important part of the program. You need to sweep tile and wood floors or vacuum carpeted floors every day if you can. If you can’t, at least do it three days a week. 

Fleas can be very difficult to eliminate on your own, so if you end up with an infestation, your best bet is to contact a Brevard County pest control service. Whether they specialize in green pest control or more traditional methods, they should be able to help you come up with a  plan to eliminate problem pests like fleas. Remember, though, a bit of outdoor pest control may be necessary in addition to indoor treatments.
