Fleas & Ticks

flea and tick control Fleas occasionally spread to lawns from infested dogs, cats, or other nearby animals. They may attack people or pets. The female flea lays eggs on the skin of its host animal and as the animal walks the eggs fall off, which, could be in your lawn, carpet or your furniture. When the eggs hatch, they seek out a new host to provide a fresh meal. Some flea eggs can lay dormant for months or even years until they are activated by the vibration of a passing host.
