Atlanta GA – June 1, 2016 /MarketersMedia/ —

Pharr Road Animal Hospital is pleased to provide the top four suggestions for preventing fleas and tick attacks on pets. The insects will make pets miserable due to the bites and the diseases which they carry. Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes are well known for carrying and transmitting parasites and disease to pets that spend time outdoors. Most pets spend at least part of their time outdoors. Some spend most of their time outdoors where they are exposed to fleas, ticks and mosquitoes.

Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes are known for their propensity to carry and transmit parasites and disease to furred animals. The top tips for protecting pets include keeping the yard clean, keeping the home clean, keeping the pet clean, and using prevention products as appropriate.

A well-manicured lawn may be a little understood factor in keeping insects out of the home. Insects make use of yard waste to create their nests. Flea-carrying animals such as mice and rats also use yard waste for their benefit. When grass is allowed to go to seed, it provides food for the animals that carry fleas. Keep lawns and grassy areas well-manicured and take advantage of plants which repel fleas, ticks, and other insects. Plants such as mint, chrysanthemums, and rosemary are examples of natural repellents.

Keeping the indoors clean is another way to fight off flea and tick infestation. Carpeting should be vacuumed daily. The same plants can be used indoors to repel fleas. Areas where the pet sleeps or lounges need special attention. Keeping the pet cleaned is another obvious way to prevent pests on the pets. Bathing the pet regularly and using a flea comb helps to cut down on the pests. Ticks should be removed quickly to avoid health issues for the pet.

The final suggestion for insect control is preventative products. Check with the professionals to ensure that the products are safe and effective.
