Can Fleas Infest Your Pets During The Winter?

What happens to fleas in the winter? Fleas don’t hibernate or become inactive when the weather gets cold. They simply latch onto a host and make their way inside your warm home. With winters lately being warmer than average, it’s no surprise that fleas have become a bigger problem in recent winters. Fleas can pose serious health issues to both your pets and your family. The best way to avoid a flea infestation is to practice good flea prevention measures year-round. Here are a few flea prevention tips to help keep your home and your pets flea-free.

Winter Fleas

Adult fleas can be found on pets and wildlife throughout the winter. The ones that survive in the cold months are typically those that have already made a nest in your house or on your pets. Cold temperatures don’t kill flea eggs either; they just slow down the life cycle. Flea eggs can hatch throughout the entire winter. Once inside, they continue to breed, infesting your pets, their bedding, carpets, furniture, and more. They can survive indoors as long as they take advantage of the warm temperatures and a readily available food source. If you stop a flea treatment to early during the early months on winter you have a higher chance of reinfestation. So it is good to stay on top of your treatments year round.

Pet Treatment

Of course, having pets in your home increases the risk of a flea infestation. They can carry fleas into your home which in turn spreads them around. Fleas typically target hosts that aren’t as healthy or that have undeveloped immune systems. These include puppies, kittens, and older animals. This means that things like your pet’s diet, immune system, and how much exercise they get each day are very important when it comes to flea control and prevention.

Grooming is another key aspect of flea treatment. Combing your pet with a flea removal comb will help to remove adults and destroy eggs. Even though this can be time consuming and tedious to search for fleas, it will allow you to keep your pet flea free. It will also save you from having to deal with a full-on flea infestation later.

Prevention is the real key to reducing your pet’s risk of exposure to fleas. The most effective way to control flea infestations is to treat the pet directly all year round. Prescription and non-prescription direct treatments in the form of topical applications, flea shampoo’s, tablets and sprays are all products that can be obtained to effectively treat fleas on your pet.

Home Treatment

Keeping your home clean is one of the most affective ways to combat fleas. Cleaning and vacuuming the carpets and furniture will pick up eggs and existing fleas. This is crucial if your pets sleep or inhabit your sofa, bed, etc. Actively cleaning your pet’s sleeping areas and washing used blankets will significantly remove eggs and larvae.

Do-it-yourself pest control can be effective but not 100%. Many over the counter products can be used to control your home against fleas. Products like sprays and traps have been designed to allow a low concentration of insecticide to be used by untrained homeowners. If you decide to choose a DIY pest control, be sure to follow directions as some insecticides can be harmful to your health. The best thing to have your home fully taken care of is to call your local pest control company for flea service.

Call Any Pest Today!

Have a possible flea infestation? Homeowners should first contact their pest control professional to conduct a thorough inspection in order to localize the problem, identify the root, and determine where fleas are inhabiting. Attempting to tackle a flea problem on your own could lead to much worse damage and exasperation of the problem. If you have a flea infestation, call Any Pest today or contact us online here.

My wife and I have used Any Pest for the past year. Initially we needed to get rid of german cockroaches, they came out... and got rid of them faster than I even expected. We then started using them for preventive care. I have had the best experience with this company and they have always been extremely professional, timely, and courteous.read more

I've used AnyPest for years and I've been really happy with them. They're polite, prompt and professional and have... kept my property free of prior ant and mouse infestations. Recently, they cheerily showed up to remove a large hornet's nest. I was kind of amazed they got the thing down without getting stung. I'm happy to continue using them.read more

I had rats in my attic and garage, and under under my deck. I have an apple tree and muscadine vines. John Garlepp and... his team came out and excluded my home, put metal in the attic openings and all others, and gutter guards and sealed my house up like Fort Knox! They were professional, very knowledgable, and did it right the first time, problem solved!!! They are amazing and I highly recommend them!read more

This was my first time using a pest control place. I had called around to several different companies, trying to find... someone to get out to my house quickly as we had a huge problem with ants. Any pest was able to get here the very next day and they completely eradicated and took care of the problem. Beyond that their cost was half the cost of what several other companies quoted me. Furthermore, the rep who showed up (Chance) took his time and even waited for the rain to stop to ensure that the spray and the bait that was laid out would not just wash away. Very professional and I would highly recommend Any Pest!read more

Thank you Any Pest! The mosquitos were absolutely horrible this year. What a difference once they applied the spray. ... I also love that they use very clean, safe and natural approach. After the tech was done spraying it smelled like fresh peppermint. Also, in our house for the roach problem they applied bait and did not sprayed poisonous chemicals everywhere. It was clean and extremely effective. I did not see a cockroach for over 3 months after that! This is a small family company that has been around for many years and they really take care of their customers with excellence!!read more

Heard a critter in attic...ahhh! Of course it’s on a Friday. I called the office and they said they could come... Monday. Ugh. Then said they could do Saturday. Better. Within the hour, john called and said he could be here in 10 minutes. Phew!!!I have used this company for many years and 3 houses. John is a great guy, personable and fun. He loves his job! He is the one you want...he knows all!!!John was in the attic within 3 minutes of his arrival and reached places I didn’t think were reachable. He did a full inspection inside and out, smiled the whole time, told me the process and quoted a price. He wasn’t pushy and offered advice on DIY techniques.Ask for John!read more

My family and I met John while he was servicing the area around our neighborhood pool. He gave us his card and said not... to hesitate to call. We have had two issues since we met John and his willingness to swing by our home to take a look and give us advice has been nothing but awesome. He is always willing to give us advice to help protect our family and our home. I have recommended John to multiple neighbors and friends and I will keep recommending John for his service, his advice, and his friendliness.read more

Absolutely amazing customer service. From start to finish this entire process has been seamless as well as worry free.... We initially contacted Any Pest as in Georgia, around this time of year, I don’t think any home can avoid some type of bug crawling into it. Whether it’s a water bug or those nasty stink bugs, I was about fed up and decided to give them a call. They came out the following day and did a service call to do a free inspection, and not once throughout the process did I feel pressured to go with their services but I did however feel more educated on what was happening with my home.I signed my paperwork to start with their services the same day and they were out to service my home within two days.In the middle of the two day spam, I had a freak experience with a bunch of flies taking over a guest bedroom of mine and not only was the owner responding to my text messages late at night on what I should do to at least decrease the situation, but he arrived first thing at my home the following morning to help. I cannot be more grateful for contacting this company and not going with any of the others. They are hands-down the B E S T and have a long-time customer in me. You can tell that they sincerely care about their customers and they genuinely want to make sure that you have the best experience. I would recommend to absolutely anyoneread more
