Killing Fleas in the Yard

Springtime fleas in the yard can be a nightmare for homeowners. Mosquitoes are bad enough but trying to spend time outside only to be driven back inside due to flea bites can be even worse. And then there’s the risk of bringing those fleas back inside with you.

If you suspect fleas in your yard, there’s a great solution that is all natural and has no risk to people or pets. If you’re not sure of flea activity in the yard, check out our article on fleas first. It has great information on where they are found and what you can do even before calling us.

For those with fleas in the lawn, we strongly recommend using beneficial nematodes as long as it is not too hot (before summer really hits). These wondrous tiny creatures are naturally found in soil throughout the world but if your lawn does not have them, they can be added! If you are seeing fleas in the lawn then your lawn likely doesn’t have any living nematodes.

The best part is they will not harm mammals, aquatic life, birds, reptiles or amphibians or even many beneficial insects.

They WILL attack flea larvae and even grubs and some other destructive lawn insects. So they cut off the flea life cycle and you can get your yard back.

Once watered into the lawn, they continue to survive as long as there is a food source and you don’t use pesticides or other lawn products that can harm them.

Call us for a beneficial nematode treatment at 512-443-0123 or use our online form.

We specialize in long-lasting treatments using products in a way that effectively kills bugs but has no impact on people. No contracts are needed. We treat more than once a year about as often as we skip years between treatments.

Aztec’s philosophy is to provide the most effective pest control service available, having the least negative impact on people and the environment here in Austin, Texas. We use a combination of the least toxic and most effective pest control products available.

We originally offered pest control using only natural, “organic” pest control products. While we still offer that service, we now combine those products with a low-toxicity, odorless, synthetic pyrethrin (crushed chrysanthemum flower), offering a longer-lasting residual effect.
