Keeping It Last: Wiser Flea Control Performed Outdoor


 
Environment,Home Improvement,Health
Learn where fleas can be found in your yard and how to get rid of them for good!Riding your yard of fleas can be a daunting task, especially if you're not sure where to start. Fleas are pests that can endure and breed in the outdoors until they find a new furry home.

Outdoor flea populations are most prevalent in coastal localities and other places with moderate daytime temperatures and fairly high humidity levels. Learn where fleas can be found in your yard, how to eradicate them, and how to prevent future infestations.

The first place to look for fleas are the spots your pets frequent most. Anywhere your pet likes to sleep, rest, dig, or run is where fleas will likely be. Poke around the doghouse, kennel, outdoor furniture, and shady trees or gardens. Also check out the patio, underneath the porch, along fences, and around your house's perimeter. Populations can become very numerous in shaded and protected areas such as sheltered animal enclosures, crawl spaces under buildings where feral animals might sleep, and vegetated areas adjacent to buildings. Infested outdoor locations left untreated can lead to fleas reinfesting your pets.

Outdoor sprays aren't necessary unless you detect significant numbers of adult fleas. One way to do this is to walk around pet resting areas wearing white socks pulled up to the knee. If fleas are present, they will jump onto socks and be readily visible.

Products for eliminating adult fleas outdoors are somewhat limited because many field populations of cat fleas are resistant to pyrethroids such as permethrin. Apply sprays directly in locations where pets rest and sleep such as doghouse and kennel areas, beneath decks, and next to the foundation. It is seldom necessary to treat the entire yard or lawn areas. Flea larvae are unlikely to survive in areas with exposure to sunlight or substantial foot traffic.

Once you choose your method of flea removal, be it insecticides or a more natural solution , focus on the places your pet frequents first. If you have a giant yard, you may not need to treat the entire area. If your pet doesn't frequent the front yard, or is fenced off from certain areas, it won't be necessary to treat those places. Doghouses and kennels should be sprayed with the same non-toxic product you use to treat your pet.

If you choose to use a pesticide to eliminate outdoor fleas, follow the directions on the product label, and make sure to abide by all safety warnings. Most flea control pesticides come in the form of hose sprayers or tank pumps. You can hire a professional to administer the treatments, but if you prefer to do it yourself, make sure to cover up. Wear a dust mask, protective clothing, and gloves.

Make sure you remove toys from the yard before spraying, and keep children and pets off the treated areas until those areas are dry, or until the product instructions indicates it is safe. Most applications of insecticide will need to be repeated in two to three weeks after your first round.

Once you've eradicated fleas from your yard, you still have to contend with their offspring. Fleas breed in those moist, shady areas we discussed earlier. Hose down garden beds, around trees, rock mounds, and anywhere else you suspect fleas are hanging out. Next, water your grass until it slightly floods. Eggs and larvae will not survive when flooded with water.
