These tiny creatures cause discomfort for your loving, furry family member while infesting your house at the same time.

Having a Clean Yard

If you have an outdoor cat, they’re at a higher risk for contracting fleas and ticks. One of the most helpful ways of reducing the amount of these parasites is maintaining a clean backyard. If you consistently trim your trees, brushes, and mow your lawn, you’re helping reduce the population of the fleas.
