We are all aware of the date. It's a wonderful day where jokes are accepted and even encouraged—and where some of us fall for them. April 1st is here. In high school, I recall finding it humorous to contact my parents to inform them that I had just received my third speeding ticket after they had kindly added me to their insurance policy. It's a good thing my need for speed has diminished with age because that April 1st joke was a complete failure. I think it's because I've just paid my insurance!

One thing that we don’t joke about around 24/7 Local Pest Control is the health issues that come along with mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks. Normally we’re discussing ways to keep you humans safe, but what you might not know is that we’re looking out for your four-legged friends too. Did you know mosquitoes, fleas and ticks can cause all of the following in dogs and cats?

24/7 Local Pest Control offers you the best offence to these diseases, and that’s a good defence. Protecting your yard with our barrier sprays eliminates fleas and ticks keeping your pets safe and healthy. Springtime should be a time of fetch, chase, and wiggles in the grass, so make sure you contact your local 24/7 Local Pest Control and get on the schedule. If not for you, do it for your pets! Outside can be fun again for them, too. And that’s no joke.
