Seeing our pets scratching and uncomfortable due to fleas is stressful. Fleas are small insects that live and breed on hosts such as dogs and cats.
It is important to treat inside the home and outside the home. Lawn Doctor offers flea control that takes care of your lawn, where fleas tend to reside. It is important to keep your lawn cut regularly to reduce the habitat for fleas.
The most common medical issue in Columbus, Ohio for flea borne illness is flea allergy dermatitis which causes itching and scratching on our pets. “Flea bites on sleeping people typically occur in clusters or lines of two or more bites. On pets, fleas tend to concentrate their bites to the neck, shoulder blades, and base of the tail regions. However, with heavy infestations, the fleas can be seen running across the sparse hair areas of the belly,” per The Ohio State University. Additionally, flea bites may transmit tapeworms, secondary skin irritations, and, in extreme cases, anemia.
