Fleas & Ticks

You see them everywhere and then again you may never see them but you know they're there.  Fleas are one of the smallest pests but they should be given a lot of respect given the inconvenience they can cause.  Fleas can enter your home or business a variety of ways but obviously the most common way is through a pet picking them up.  They feed on the blood of your pet and can be very uncomfortable for our furry friends. 

Ticks on the other hand are not frequent visitors but when they do inhabit your place they can become a very troublesome pest.  Ticks are normally brought in by some type of activity where there's a lot of vegetation.  Woods, fields, and gardens are common places where ticks can be found.  Ticks can carry a a variety of diseases and they often aren't noticed on you or your pet until they've completely dug in.   

Why do fleas prey on our pets?

Fleas and ticks prey on our pets for a variety of reasons.  One, they sense their heat and know they're full of blood.  Second, fleas leave their eggs on our pets knowing that when they scratch they'll dislodge them on the furniture, carpet, beds, or other common areas.
