Flea Control in dogs and cats by Niall
Kennedy
Flea control can be a very hard thing to do
especially if you live in areas where fleas are largely populated. Weather has a
lot to do with fleas and trying to keep them outdoors and off of your pets can
be very changeling.
You can try many of the products available to rid your pets of fleas and then
find that you still have the problem. Fleas will lay their eggs in your carpet
and on furniture and bedding that your pet happens to lie on.
The first step in flea control is to rid your pet of these blood sucking pests.
Talk with your veterinarian to find out the best products available. You can
have your pet dipped; buy flea collars, and other products that will eliminate
the fleas from your pet.
Now, that your pet is flea free, how do you get rid of the fleas inside your
home? You should now vacuum your entire home including any furniture that your
pet has laid on. Once you vacuumed, be sure to throw the vacuum cleaner bag out
immediately. The bag is probably full of fleas and you do not want to take the
chance of them somehow finding their way out of the vacuum. If your pet has a
pet bed, wash it completely or discard it and buy a new one. Any other bedding,
towels, and rugs that your pet has been on also need to be cleaned.
Sometimes, the above steps may not be enough to rid your home of fleas. You may
need to invest in an insecticide that can be used on carpets, baseboards, and
cracks. Fleas can hide in very small places and if you have one flea, soon you
will have many. Before using any type of insecticide, talk with your
veterinarian to be sure that it is safe to use around your pet. You do not want
your pet to ingest any type of toxic chemicals that could make them sick.
