How To Get Rid of Fleas In Your Yard
It is important when conducting flea control treatments to not only treat your pets and your indoor living quarters but to also treat your entire yard to eliminate fleas from being a problem. It may be likely that your pets may have gotten fleas from going to the park or some place other than your yard. However, those other areas are out of your own control when it comes to flea issues, you can control fleas in your yard and we will show you how in this guide.
Treat Fleas In Your Yard
Step 1: Start With Cultural Control
You will need to do some environmental modification to make your yard less appealing for fleas to stick around. Reduce the amount of shady areas around the home by trimming tree branches and trimming hedges of your bushes, etc. Also, break out the rakes! You’re going to want to reduce as much leaf litter as possible around your home as these provide coverage and hiding places for fleas to stay out of sight. Rocks and woodpiles should be included in your clean up as well.
Mow your grass short so flea will be unable to hide in tall grass. This is also a great preventative measure after the fleas have been eliminated from your yard.
Step 2: Apply Insecticide Granules
Applying a granule insecticide are a great method of eliminating fleas in your yard. Bifen LP granules are a fantastic option and can continue to kill fleas for up to 90 days. Granules are going to need to be activated by getting it wet with insecticide spray. Apply this using a granule spreader or by hand scattering it in those main infested areas.
Step 3: Use a Quality Insecticidal Spray
You can then use an insecticidal concentrate spray to treat your yard. Using a professional insecticide concentrate and spraying it so it can penetrate at the grass and soil level where fleas most commonly develop. We recommend using Reclaim IT. This will provide an immediate knockdown of flea infestations.
Mix this concentrate in a hand or hose end sprayer, and apply to the most commonly infested areas. Those open sunny areas along with dry dusty or hard surfaces like patios and driveways have little need for spraying so please focus your spraying around the infested areas.
Step 4: Perform a Follow-up Treatment
Fleas are not an insect that can be eradicated quickly due to the four phases of developments they go through. You may kill all the adult fleas during the first application but the eggs, larvae and pupae in your yard are still alive and will soon be kicking once they hatch. Wait 10 to 14 days after the first application and reapply the products so it will kill the recently hatched fleas.
By following the steps above you can rest easy knowing that your yard will no longer have fleas bugging your pets and you. We do want to add though that treating your yard is only one part of a total flea control program. If you really want to be free from bloodsucking fleas, you have to treat your pets and indoors as well and then put into place preventative measures to reduce the likelihood of your pets getting fleas again or your home having a flea outbreak. To conduct a successful full flea control program we highly suggest ordering our Guaranteed Flea Control Kit so you have all you need to treat your pets, your home and your outdoor yard.
