Take Back Your Home & Yard From Pesky Fleas
Fleas are one of the most common pests around Idaho. Infestations can quickly get out of control. Fleas are gross to look at, of course, but did you know they can also be harmful to your family and home? Here are some of the problems fleas bring to Boise area homes:
- Bites. Flea bites can cause itching, irritation, and allergic reactions in some people. The bites often appear as small red bumps, often with a halo around them.
- Transmission of diseases. Fleas can transmit several diseases to humans, including bubonic plague, cat scratch disease.
- Tapeworms. Humans can also become infected with tapeworms if they accidentally ingest fleas carrying tapeworm larvae.
