Should You Treat Your Yard With a Fleaicide Or Wait For Fleas to Die on Their Own?

You’re probably wondering if you should treat your yard with a fleaicide or wait for the fleas to die on their own. The answer depends on your lifestyle and whether you have pets or not. While treating your yard may be overkill for those without pets, it can save you the expense and effort of dealing with a flea infestation.

A flea’s life cycle consists of four stages. During the first stage, the adult flea will start feeding on the blood of your pet. After the first blood meal, the flea larvae will have enough energy to lay eggs. Each feeding generates a new cluster of eggs. In addition, adult fleas can survive without a host for several months or even a year in a cocoon.

Fleas are a common pest in homes with pets. However, they can also live in yards with domestic animals and wildlife. It is important to treat any flea infestation as soon as you notice any signs. A flea infestation can lead to an unhealthy environment for your pet. You can take steps to prevent the infestation from occurring by ensuring that your pets live in clean, dry environments.

During the warmer months, fleas are most active and will breed quickly. Fleas can live for up to 12 months on a host and can lay eggs in your bedding, carpet, and yard. They are also more likely to bite during this time of year, and are best treated as soon as you notice an infestation.
