Since these pests can spread disease, it\u2019s crucial to know how to protect you and your family from them. Keep in mind that if you have an infestation, you should get help from an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/biting-insects\/index.php#fleas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ocean County pest control company<\/a> as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fleas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fleas that your pets bring inside are usually more of a nuisance than a health threat. Your pets might be allergic to their bites, but keep in mind that you or other family members might also have allergic reactions. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmete.com\/index.php?tg=articles&amp;idx=Print&amp;topics=101&amp;article=68\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fleas<\/a> that have been on rats are a more serious threat to your health, since they can spread the plague. Use flea prevention products for pets, and vacuum your home regularly to eliminate these pests.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ticks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/biting-insects\/index.php#ticks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ticks<\/a> often jump on people and pets when they\u2019re outside, especially during fall. You\u2019ll usually find these bugs in fields and wooded areas, but they can also be lurking in your backyard. Check for ticks on your body and carefully remove them, since they can spread serious diseases, including Lyme disease. Covering your legs and arms and using tick repellent helps keep these bugs at bay.<\/p>\n<p>If your home or yard has a flea or tick problem, our Ocean County pest control company is here to help.
