How to get rid of fleas in the yard?

Flea infestations are never fun. If you have ever had to deal with it, then you know how unpleasant it can be. These tiny wingless insects can practically drive your pets crazy with their ceaseless itchy bites, and what’s worse, they’ll spread throughout your yard like wildfire even before you know they are there. A single female flea will lay up to 50 eggs in one day and these eggs will fall off and lie within
the grasses in your yard, and will transform to flea larvae and subsequently flea pupae before emerging from their cocoons as adult fleas ready to attach themselves to your four-legged family members drinking as much blood as possible.

Fleas are very robust parasites found all over the world and they are very capable of surviving for years as cocoons if they happen to find themselves in an unfavorable environment. But with the right temperature and available hosts, these insects will quickly emerge as adult fleas and hop on any unlucky animals who happen to be on their path, and in this case, it may be your furry friends who become the unwilling host. It is estimated that in a flea-infested area, flea eggs, larvae, and cocoons account for a great majority of the infestation while the actual bloodsuckers, the adult fleas, make up only 5% of the total flea infestation. Going by this statistic, if you notice your pets itching furiously and suspect they may have fleas, then chances are your yard has become a nursery for fleas.
