If you found one flea in your yard, I would bet that it is only the tip of the iceberg! Please make sure your pets are on a high quality flea preventative monthly and consider consulting an exterminator regarding flea control in your yard. Examples of flea preventatives for pets include Nexgard, Bravecto, Comfortis or Advantix for dogs and Advantage or Revolution for cats.
