\"Look<\/a>
Look Out For Fleas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Feeling itchy? The problem might not be mosquitos, but rather a summer infestation of fleas<\/a>. With warmth and humidity in the air, fleas become hyperactive. They reproduce more quickly, swarm yards and dog parks, and quickly create a filthy nuisance once they get inside your home.<\/p>\n

Summer calls for careful monitoring of pets that may be carrying fleas. Carpets and upholstery may house the fleas in spite of a flea collar, so the home may also need flea extermination.<\/p>\n

Why fleas thrive in warm and wet weather<\/strong><\/p>\n

Female fleas only live a few weeks, but they lay thousands of eggs. Under mild conditions, it takes months for a flea to grow from larva to pupa to adult. Warmth and humidity rapidly accelerate\u00a0their growth.<\/p>\n

Additionally, summer rains drive fleas up from the ground to higher levels. This increases the chances of getting a flea infestation<\/a> after they attach to you or pet and come inside.<\/p>\n

Veterinarian Katherine Beier recently explained<\/a> to reporters that pet owners need to keep several factors in mind: the number of pets, where they play outside and where they sleep inside, and what kind of flooring you have indoors.<\/p>\n

She finds that people often need to seek flea treatments for a wide radius around their dogs\u2019 favorite resting spots.<\/p>\n
