Fleas and ticks are blood feeders. They have the potential to spread diseases to the animals they feed on, putting your customers and their pets in danger of getting sick. Fortunately, with a little help from your customers, fleas and ticks can be relatively easy to prevent and treat. In addition to treating their yard with an insecticide that provides a quick kill and residual protection of current and further flea and tick infestations, share the following three directives with your residential customers:

1. Treat and maintain the yard. Explain that by mowing the yard and collecting the clippings, they can reduce areas where fleas and ticks like to hang out.

2. Treat pets. Reinforce that treating their pets with products approved by their veterinarian will help prevent these pests from establishing a population in their yards or homes.

3. Treat the home. Share how vacuuming can be a tool they can use to help prevent these pests from gaining a foothold in their homes. Encourage them to use a heavy-duty vacuum and ensure they vacuum the carpets, floors and upholstery. This will remove a large amount of flea eggs and larvae. Emptying the vacuum outside will ensure any pests vacuumed up stay out of the home.

Sharing these steps with customers can not only help kill and prevent fleas and ticks, but it also can boost your customers’ trust and satisfaction.
