Frequently asked questions
When does flea season start in Savannah?
It never fully stops — Savannah's monthly averages support flea activity essentially all year, with the heaviest stretch Mar–Nov.
Is flea season in Savannah different from the rest of Georgia?
Somewhat. Unlike the Georgia statewide picture, Savannah's averages never drop low enough to shut fleas down. The statewide page averages several stations across Georgia; this page uses the normals recorded at SAVANNAH INTL AP.
Do dogs in Savannah need prevention outside flea season?
Yes — vets recommend year-round parasite prevention regardless of the local calendar. Indoor fleas ignore the weather entirely, and ticks in Georgia are typically active year-round, a longer window than fleas get.
