Fleas & Ticks

Flea infestations are a common concern in New Zealand homes with pets, posing risks to both animals and humans. These pesky insects often persist in properties previously inhabited by pet owners, affecting new residents. Fleas enter homes via carrier pets, including rodents, rabbits, or even livestock like pigs, without discriminating by breed. Effective flea control and removal necessitate professional intervention, such as The Local Guys – Pest Control, as these pests can transmit tapeworms and parasites through bites, causing discomfort and health issues.

Do you enjoy spending time outdoors during the warmer seasons? While the sunshine may uplift your spirits, it's essential to be mindful of ticks lurking in the grass, ready to bite. Concerns about fleas and ticks stem from their significant role in transmitting various diseases to both animals and humans. Fleas, in particular, spread disease-causing parasites to both animals and humans. Ticks, on the other hand, can transmit tick-borne diseases when they feed on human blood. It's crucial to note that treatments effective for ticks may not work for fleas, highlighting the need for specialized approaches tailored to the specific pest type. In many cases, treatment extends beyond indoor spaces to the exterior garden and surroundings.

For many individuals, flea or tick infestations in the garden can result in anything from mild irritation to severe rashes, pain, and even fever. In critical situations, these infestations can lead to respiratory issues and life-threatening reactions. To address these concerns, it's essential to seek professional treatment from our experts.
