Best Flea And Tick Prevention Tips

Keep The Lawn Trimmed

Fleas prefer shade and moisture, which makes it a good idea to keep the lawn trimmed to allow for more sunlight to dry things out. Ticks love tall grass, and they also hide in yard waste, old furniture, and trash. To prevent fleas and ticks, pet owners should weep under decks and around patios and be sure to get rid of any straw, leaves, or grass clippings, which hold moisture. Also, consider how fleas and ticks travel into your yard in the first place. Most likely they rode in on the backs of rodents, deer, and other wildlife. Secure trash and garbage bins that might attract flea carrying rodents or small animals. Do all you can to create barriers to discourage wildlife from entering your yard.
