MARSHFIELD, WI (OnFocus) – Spring time is the perfect season to ensure that your pet has sufficient protection against fleas and ticks.
Today and Wednesday, Pet Supplies Plus has a deal on flea and tick prevention techniques that will help keep your pet healthy throughout the summer.
According to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, ticks become more active when the weather is warm making May to September the prime tick season.
Right now at Pet Supplies Plus, you can get $5 off of Seresto Flea and Tick applications or $10 off of select K9 Advantix II Flea and Ticks for Dogs.
Other tips to keep ticks away from your property according to the Wisconsin DHS:
- Use wood chips, mulch or other bedding around houses, play areas and other areas of interest.
- Mow lawn often to keep ticks out of tall grass
- Do not feed deer or other wild animals as they can carry ticks and fleas into your area
- Build fences or other barriers to keep tick-carrying animals out of your yard
- Remove woodpiles, or stack wood neatly in dry areas away from houses to lower the number of rodents in the area. Rodents can bring ticks into the yard and can also spread disease to the ticks.
