Fire Ants & Summer Pests: Protecting Your Pets and Property

Fire antsJuly heat brings out more than just sunbathers – it’s peak season for fire ants and summer pests like fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes. These pesky invaders could be wreaking havoc in your backyard, affecting both your pets and property.

Fire ants are notorious for their painful stings, which can harm pets and livestock. Not to mention, they can cause damage to your equipment and wiring. It’s important to treat any visible mounds promptly using approved products, ensuring to re-apply treatments after rainfall to keep these intruders at bay.

Summer also marks the peak activity period for fleas and ticks. These pests can become a significant issue if left unchecked. Regular inspections of your pets, especially dogs and cats, are crucial to catch any signs of infestation early. Using veterinarian-approved flea and tick prevention treatments can safeguard your furry friends. Don’t forget to treat their bedding and yard areas to prevent a full-blown pest invasion.

Mosquitoes are more than just a nuisance; they are vectors for diseases such as heartworm in pets and West Nile virus in horses. By eliminating standing water and employing safe repellents or foggers, you can significantly reduce their presence in high-risk areas.
