Treating the pet without treating the yard is half a job. Fleas and ticks live in the shaded, humid harborage outside and keep re-loading the pet.
Treated the dog and still finding fleas? The problem lives in the yard, not just on the pet. Fleas and ticks breed in the shady, damp spots outside, under decks, along the fence, in leaf litter, then climb back on. Our mild winters keep them going most of the year, so we treat the yard, which is the half most people skip.
Flea and tick problems live outside. Larvae and eggs develop in the cool, shaded, humid parts of the yard, then adults climb onto whatever passes. Treat only the pet and the yard keeps re-supplying them. We treat the harborage where they breed and wait.
Because our winters are mild, fleas and ticks barely pause here, so a single treatment in summer is rarely enough. A cycle through the warm months keeps the yard from rebuilding a population. We set the cadence to your property.
