If you’re a pet owner, your top priority is keeping your animals safe and healthy. So what happens when pests move in? Whether it’s fleas, rodents, or wasps, unwanted visitors can put your pets at risk. At Advance Pest Control Bristol, we understand that effective pest control shouldn’t come at the expense of your four-legged family members.
Why Pets and Pests Don’t Mix
Pests aren’t just a nuisance; they can seriously affect your pets’ health. Fleas, ticks, and mites often target cats and dogs, while rodents and cockroaches can carry harmful bacteria that may linger on food bowls, bedding, and floors. Some pests also trigger allergies or asthma in animals just like they do in humans.
Is Pest Control Safe for Pets?
Pest control is safe for pets so long as it’s done properly. When you work with a trusted Bristol pest control company, they’ll use pet-safe treatments and advise you on how to prepare and protect your home during and after the process. This might include removing pets from the area, covering aquariums, or airing out rooms before your pets return.
How to Prepare for a Pet-Friendly Pest Treatment
Inform your pest control technician that you have pets. This helps them choose the safest treatment method.
Remove pet food, water bowls, and toys from the treatment area.
Cover or move cages, tanks, and pet beds to a separate room.
Keep pets out of treated areas for the recommended amount of time (your technician will tell you how long).
Post-Treatment Tips
Clean floors and surfaces your pets use regularly (unless advised otherwise).
Wash bedding and toys if they were near the treated area.
Watch your pet for any signs of irritation or unusual behaviour, just in case.
