Which area should be treated when targeting fleas in a lawn?

When targeting fleas in a lawn, focusing on shaded areas is particularly effective. Fleas prefer environments that offer protection from direct sunlight, as excessive heat can be detrimental to their survival. Thus, shaded spots provide an ideal habitat for fleas to thrive and breed.

While sunny areas can host fleas, they are less favorable because the heat can dry out their environment, diminishing their chances of survival. Open fields may not have the density of vegetation that sheltered areas offer, potentially leading to lower flea populations. Garden spots might contain desirable plants, but they are not typically the primary locations where fleas will be concentrated compared to shaded areas, which provide both concealment and humidity favorable for flea life cycles.

Therefore, targeting shaded areas presents a strategic advantage in flea control, as it increases the likelihood of disrupting their breeding and reducing their population effectively.
