The Gifts We Give Our Dogs
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 challenging.
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.
