Fleas are a common nuisance problem for pets and their owners alike. When it seems like your entire family starts getting bitten by almost invisible parasites, there’s only one conclusion you can come to: fleas. But, since they’re so hard to see at first, how do you know what to do? Your dog or cat is scratching every second they have and you’ve tried all the products that promise to keep fleas off your pets, but you’re still waking up in the middle of the night to more bites. You try crawling into bed with the pets because it just isn’t working! So when do you know what to do? If haven’t had a flea problem before, you may think that they are just unpleasant pets that jump on you and make it hard to enjoy petting your dog or cat.

The reaction is uncomfortable and can be quite itchy. The point of this article is to tell you, step by step, how to not get bit by fleas. This anti-flea approach is based on personal experience and a lot of research on others’ experiences, so it should help you avoid the problem.

How To Not Get Bit By Fleas

Introduction

fleas suck. They can be difficult to get rid of, and they make your life miserable in the meantime. So I’ve compiled a list of my top tips for dealing with fleas and how to prevent them from infesting your home again.

Don’t put on perfume

Perfumes contain chemicals and fragrances that are attractive to fleas. Instead of using perfume, try using natural oils like peppermint or eucalyptus. You can also use tea tree oil or lavender oil on your skin as a natural flea repellent. The best way to prevent getting bit by fleas is to not wear any type of fragrance when you will be outside for long periods of time, or if you have pets with you outdoors. Your child should not wear any fragrance because it will attract fleas as well, which increases their risk of getting bit by ticks and mosquitoes too!

Don’t douse yourself in bug repellent.

When applying insect repellent, don’t douse yourself in the stuff.

You should only apply a small amount of insect repellent to exposed skin and don’t put too much on your hands or face. The more you use, the less effective it will be at keeping bugs away from you.

If you’re wearing a shirt with long sleeves, make sure that the hem is tucked into pants or leggings so that no skin is exposed by accident. You don’t want to accidentally get bitten on the arm by mosquitoes because they can fly through small spaces like those between a shirt sleeve and pant leg if they smell blood from scratching fleas off your backside earlier in the day (or night).

When applying insect repellents containing DEET directly to your skin: Do not apply over cuts or wounds as this can increase absorption into the bloodstream; Do not apply under clothing as this could result in an accidental overdose; Use sparingly around eye areas—only enough so that it covers all exposed areas without dripping down onto clothing areas where other parts may come into contact with it later

Don’t wear thick, dark clothing

Avoid dark colors. Dark colors are much more attractive to fleas than light colored clothing, so if you’re wearing any of these colors, the chances of getting bit by a flea increase exponentially.

Try not to wear black or navy blue. These colors will make you especially susceptible to bites from tiny creatures like ticks and fleas!

Don’t go outside after dark

If you’re a dog, be wary of ticks when outdoors after dark. Ticks are most active at dawn and dusk, so think twice before taking your pup for a walk in the evening or morning.

Ticks are also most active during summer months. If you live in an area with warm temperatures year-round (like many parts of California), ticks will be active all year long.

Lastly, ticks are more common in spring and fall than any other time of year because that’s when they lay their eggs—which take six to eight weeks to hatch!

Have an indoor pet? Groom them regularly.

If you have an indoor pet, there’s a good chance you don’t think of grooming as being all that important. And while it may not be quite as crucial as giving your cat or dog a bath every week (or even every month), grooming them is still something you should do regularly to keep them healthy and happy.

Most pets need to be brushed at least once per week—more often if they are shedding heavily or live in an area with lots of allergens like pollen or dust mites. Brushing helps distribute natural oils throughout their fur and skin which keeps both soft and healthy. This keeps the animal from scratching themselves too much which can lead to infections! It also reduces shedding so less hair will end up on your furniture, clothing etc…

If your pet has long hair make sure that their coat isn’t matted down because this could lead fleas into biting areas where you won’t see bites until later when they become infected by bacteria picked up after trying out different foods available

If you have a pet tick or flea problem, keep your pets and family members out of the yard.

When you’re outside, don’t rest against a tree, as ticks like to climb these to get onto people and animals.

Ticks like to climb up trees to get onto people and animals. They can climb up to 10 feet high, jump up to 12 inches, or crawl up to 20 feet away from their original location. They can also drop onto you from above; this is a common occurrence in the woods where there are many tall trees. Ticks may be hiding behind leaves or other objects on the ground, so when you’re walking through these areas make it a habit of brushing away anything that could conceal them before you sit down.

Wear long sleeves and long pants, tucked into socks whenever possible outdoors, especially in summer when ticks are most active.

• Wear long sleeves and long pants, tucked into socks whenever possible outdoors, especially in summer when ticks are most active.
• Wear light-colored clothing that’s easy to check for ticks.
• Wear a hat! Ticks like to crawl around on the top of your head because it’s warm and dark up there.
• Wear closed-toe shoes so you can check for ticks more easily when you’re inside or going from indoors to outdoors, as well as when you’re outside walking around barefoot.

There are many ways you can avoid getting bit by fleas

You can avoid getting bit by fleas by wearing long sleeves and long pants tucked into socks. This will prevent the flea from biting you, as well as keeping them from jumping onto your clothing. You should always wear light-colored clothing, especially if you have white pets or own a white carpet because fleas are attracted to light colors.

Flea collars are another way to keep the pesky pests away from your pet. They can be bought at almost any pet store and come in a variety of shapes and sizes for different sized animals, including cats, dogs and even rabbits! They also help repel fleas from furniture by emitting an odor that keeps them away from where they live when applied correctly.

You may also choose to use one of many different types of repellents available on the market such as sprays or foggers which contain chemicals that kill the insects while still being safe around children and other pets who might accidentally ingest them while playing outside near treated areas like yards with high grasses where these products were sprayed recently before application took place during hot summer months when humidity levels were high enough (75%) within immediate vicinity where they lived before returning home!

Conclusion

The best thing you can do is prevent fleas from entering your house in the first place. Make sure you are using an insecticide when you are treating your pets, and that it is a good quality product made specifically for flea control. A professional pest control company will have access to these products and can help keep your family safe!
