The Health Risks of Fleas and Ticks 

Fleas and ticks are more than just an annoyance; they present health risks for both people and pets. 

That includes risks like these: 

Fleas and Allergic Reactions

Flea saliva can trigger itching, redness, and skin irritation, leading to conditions like flea allergy dermatitis (FAD). Pets with FAD may exhibit excessive scratching, hair loss, and skin infections. For humans, bites can result in discomfort and irritation, particularly for those with sensitive skin. 

Diseases in Pets

Ticks are carriers of a variety of dangerous diseases that can severely impact pets. Lyme disease, one of the most common tick-borne illnesses, causes symptoms such as lethargy, joint pain, and kidney issues. Another threat, ehrlichiosis, affects dogs and can lead to fever, appetite loss, and bleeding disorders. 

Parasites

Fleas are also known to transmit parasites like tapeworms to pets and, in some cases, humans. Pets can ingest fleas while grooming themselves, introducing tapeworms into their system. This can cause weight loss, digestive upset, and general discomfort in your pet’s daily life. 

The Risk of House Infestations

Beyond bites and disease transmission, fleas and ticks can lead to full-scale home infestations if their presence goes undetected. Fleas lay eggs rapidly, infiltrating furniture, carpets, and bedding. Ticks can hide in cracks and crevices and return long after you thought the problem was resolved. 

By addressing these risks through our professional methods, you can help protect your family and pets from the harmful effects of these resilient pests. With targeted treatments, thorough inspections, and thoughtful preventative measures, South Plains Pest Control prioritizes the health of your loved ones and the safety of your home.
