Don't let fleas and ticks drive your crazy this summer, contact McCauley Services for effective flea and tick control.

Despite their small size, fleas and ticks can cause big problems and big worries for homeowners in Benton, Little Rock, Hot Springs and throughout Arkansas.  Fleas are prolific breeders and can infest an entire home in no time and ticks are known carriers of many dangerous diseases, including Lyme disease.  Although these summertime pests are usually associated with our pets, they will feast on the blood of not only our cats and dogs, but our family and friends as well.  As a longtime Arkansas pest control company, McCauley Services knows just how difficult getting rid of fleas and ticks can be.  In an effort to help Arkansans prevent these biting insects from moving in this summer, we thought we’d offer a few helpful tips.  

Prevention Tips To Keep Out Fleas And Ticks

Although it is impossible to prevent fleas and ticks from invading your property, there are a few simple things you can do to make your backyard (and pets) less appealing to these insects:

• Mow your lawn frequently to reduce hiding places for fleas and ticks

• Cut back trees and shrubs

• To prevent your pets from carrying fleas and ticks indoors, apply vet approved flea and tick treatments

• Do not attract flea and tick infested wild animals to your yard by feeding them

• Clean up brush and debris in your yard

If attempting to keep your backyard a “flea and tick free zone” is failing and they have moved in and infested your home, contacting McCauley Services is the best course of action.  We offer our Prescribed Home Protection Plan that is sure to help you get rid of these pests and prevent future infestations.  If you live in Hot Springs, Little Rock or elsewhere in Arkansas, don’t let fleas and ticks drive you crazy this summer, contact McCauley Services to schedule your free inspection today.
