Benefits Of Fleas and Tick Control Services

There are many different things to consider to keep your pet healthy and happy. Pest control may not be at the top of your priority list in the early days of pet ownership but protecting your four-legged family member from parasitic infections is one of the responsibilities that should be addressed as soon as he has settled into your care.

The most common parasites to infect domestic pets in The U.S. are fleas and ticks. Both are small, wingless creatures that make their abode on the outside of your pet’s body, surviving by drinking its blood. Not only do these blood-consuming parasites, potentially put your pet at the risk of anemia and transmitting you a whole range of different diseases, including:

-         Lyme disease

-         Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever

-         Anaplasmosis

-         Ehrlichiosis

-         Babesiosis

-         Bartonellosis

-         Mycoplasma haemofelis

-         Typhus

-         Cat scratch disease

-         Tapeworms

 

Even humans living in your household can be at risk of getting these diseases transmitted from your pets, and all can make your furbaby moderately to severely ill. Even proving fatal in some instances.

The soothing fact is that fleas and ticks are entirely preventable! That’s right, although both of these parasites are very common, with the right preventative medications and by taking steps to make your home inhospitable to these creatures, you can help ensure that your furbaby remains aloof from fleas and ticks.
