If you said bed bugs.... you're WRONG! And it's important you know why!
In a recent study done by Banfield Pet Hospital, 3 out of 4 pet owners said they were aware about the dangers of fleas but only 11% felt it was worse to have fleas than bed bugs. Fleas transmit diseases to humans, unlike bed bugs. These diseases can be very serious, especially with younger children or immune compromised adults. One serious bacterial disease that fleas carry is caused by Yersinia pestis, also known as Plague. And a dog recently tested positive for Plague in Mexico so the threat isn't too far away.
77& of pet owners allow their pets to sleep in their beds but only 16% of these were worried about fleas. Are you one of them? Fleas are easy to treat and easier to prevent and it's important that everyone knows this.
According to the same study, flea infestations have increased an average of 14% in dogs and cats since 2006. Don't be a statistic! Use monthly flea protection on your pets every month, even if you don't see fleas.
