Itchy Bites in Georgia Yard: Likely Fleas from Prior Dogs

Diagnosis

Bites on legs within minutes, itchy, fade in an hour, bug spray ineffective = fleas. Fleas jump on, bite, jump off.

Confirm

Wear white pants; watch for tiny black bugs jumping onto legs.

Treatment

1. Hire pest control for yard spray (guaranteed re-treats).
2. Repeat in 30 days—new eggs hatch then.
3. Treat pets simultaneously.

Why DIY Fails

Foggers miss shaded areas; eggs survive. Pros target hotspots and guarantee follow-up.
