Got Fleas?

Be prepared this summer against fleas. As the temperature rises with the change of seasons, so will the population of fleas. Besides being irritating, fleas carry disease, some of which are transmittable to humans. Year-round flea protection is extremely important for your pet's health and entire household safety.

With available monthly flea treatments, supplies such as collars, foggers, and sprays, keeping your pet and household flea free should be no problem.

When battling a flea infestation it is important to keep in mind the following:

  • Constant vigilance is required; particularly during those warm summer months.
  • Keep areas where your pet(s) spend(s) a lot of time clean; vacuum, wash & mop.

  • Depending on your situation it may take as long a six months to become completely flea free.
