Flea and Tick Season is Here
This is a friendly reminder that flea and tick season is here. You can use the flea and tick seasonal map below to see the duration of your state’s season. Be aware that flea and tick season has slight regional variations.
The best way to keep your pet away from fleas and ticks is to take preventative steps before an infestation occurs. Fleas are the most common pet parasite, and the nasty bugs your pet is most likely to encounter. Ticks, although occurring less frequently, will pose just as much of a nuisance to you and your pet.

I just discovered food grade diatomaceous earth (DE), for ticks on my dog. I dusted him with it, and it is working wonderfully! I'll need to keep dusting him, because he goes out in the yard, briefly. I've also dusted my baseboards, where he lies, etc. Doing the yard tomorrow. And, DE is natural and cheap!
