When traveling in areas where plague is common, it is important to avoid being bitten by infected fleas by using insecticides and repellants. Gloves should be worn when handling wildlife. Contact with rats, prairie dogs and other rodents should be avoided. Efforts should be made to control rodent and flea populations. Buildings should be rat-proofed, with appropriate storage and disposal of food, garbage, and refuse. Dogs and cats in such areas should be treated with insecticides to prevent flea infestation.
