- Frequent scratching or biting at the skin

- Restlessness or unusual behavior in dogs
If you notice these signs, it’s time to act. The Broken Arrow Exterminator can provide effective treatments.

Prevention is key to keeping your dog run flea-free. Here are some effective strategies:
- Regularly mow the grass to reduce hiding places.
