Fleas and ticks are one of the most common pests you may find on your family pets. They pose a danger to both people and animals due to their nasty bite. Fleas are responsible for spreading diseases and are transitional hosts for parasitic tapeworms. Both fleas and ticks live on the outside of the body and need to feed on the blood of animals in order to produce eggs. You can find them around your pet’s resting areas because they usually feed and lay their eggs when your pet is asleep.  Many pets acquire fleas outside in the yard, which can lead to an infestation inside the home.
