California's mild climate makes fleas a year-round problem! Here's how to reclaim your yard:
1. Keep Your Lawn Well-Maintained
Mow regularly and remove dead leaves. Fleas love tall grass and shady spots!
2. Use Beneficial Nematodes
These microscopic worms naturally hunt flea larvae in soil. Pet-safe and eco-friendly!
3. Apply Food-Grade Diatomaceous Earth
Sprinkle in shady areas to dehydrate fleas on contact. Let sit 1-2 days before raking.
4. Block Wildlife Access
Secure trash bins and remove pet food - raccoons and stray cats bring fleas into your yard.
5. Try Cedar Chips & Natural Repellents
Place cedar chips around pet areas. Essential oils like cedarwood create natural barriers.
