The Hidden Dangers of Fleas and Ticks

Fleas and ticks aren’t just irritating – they’re vectors of disease, capable of inflicting serious harm on your loved ones, especially pets. Fleas reproduce astonishingly quickly, with a single female flea laying up to 50 eggs daily. These pests are known carriers of diseases such as Bartonellosis and Typhus, posing critical health risks. Ticks, on the other hand, transmit pathogens responsible for Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, making them a menace to anyone who ventures outdoors.

Don’t let these pests compromise your home’s safety. Call Greenhouse Termite and Pest Control to get rid of fleas and ticks, and keep them out for good.

Frequently Asked Questions

Make sure you keep your pet on flea medication and change it as needed. Some people swear by bathing their pets with Dawn dish soap, although we cannot confirm this is effective. Let it sit for about 5 minutes and then rinse well with water! If your pet does have a tick, it is important to use tweezers (not your fingers) to remove the tick. Fine point tweezers are the best to use. Spread your pet’s fur and extract the tick as close to the skin as possible. You can place the tick in rubbing alcohol to make sure it perishes and doesn’t spread any bacteria. Wash your hands well after the extraction and rub alcohol on the removal site.

Fleas often hide in areas with dense fur on pets, such as around the neck, ears, groin, and tail base. They also hide in areas where pets cannot be groomed effectively. Regular grooming and inspection help in detecting and managing flea infestations on pets.

Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the ticks as close to the skin’s surface as possible.2.) Pull the tick upwards slowly and steadily to ensure the entire tick is removed intact. 3.) Clean the bitten area with soap and water or rubbing alcohol to disinfect the wound.4.) Dispose of the tick by flushing it down the toilet to prevent reattachment.

Fleas live on their hosts (pets or wildlife) where they feed on blood. They can also survive in the environment, including carpets, bedding, and outdoor areas where pets frequent.

Fleas lay eggs in areas where pets rest or sleep, such as carpets, rugs, bedding, and upholstered furniture. They prefer warm, dark environments where eggs can develop undisturbed.

Ticks can remain attached to a host for several days to a week or more, depending on the species, life stage, and feeding conditions. They engorge themselves with blood during this time.

Ticks are commonly found in grassy, wooded areas, and shrubs where they can latch onto passing hosts such as animals and humans. They thrive in environments with tall grass, leaf litter, and moisture.

If you find a tick on yourself, carefully remove it with fine-tipped tweezers, grasping it as close to the skin’s surface as possible. Pull upward with steady, even pressure. This will avoid twisting or jerking the tick, which can cause the tick’s mouthparts to break off and remain in the skin.
