⚠️ Protect Your Pets from Screwworms ⚠️
If you’re concerned about New World Screwworm (New World screwworm) exposure, make sure your pets are on veterinarian-recommended preventative medication. If you have questions about protection, contact your veterinarian.
While professional yard treatments can help reduce overall pest activity around your home, flying insects are much harder to fully control outdoors.
The New World screwworm is a parasitic fly whose larvae (maggots) burrow into and feed on the living tissue of warm-blooded animals — including livestock, pets, wildlife, and in rare cases, humans.
✅ Keep pets protected with veterinary prevention
✅ Check pets regularly for open wounds or unusual irritation
✅ Reduce general fly populations around your property with proper sanitation and pest management
Prevention is always easier than treatment.
