Flea Season
For
every flea that you see on your pet, there are likely to be hundreds of
eggs and larvae in your home and yard. If your pet has fleas, it's vital to remove the critters from the pet's environment as well as the pet itself.
- Vacuum! Below drapes, under
furniture edges, and where your pet sleeps. This can remove up to 50% of flea eggs. Vacuum daily in high
traffic areas, weekly in others. Each time, seal your vacuum bag in a
plastic bag and discard it immediately. Do NOT place
mothballs or flea collars in the vacuum, since toxic fumes could result.
-
Use a product that
contains both an adulticide and an insect growth regulator (IGR), such
as Nylar (pyriproxyfen) or methoprene to kill remaining fleas. This can be in the form of carpet
powders, foggers, or sprays.
- Wash your pet's bedding weekly and treat the bed and surrounding
area with a product that contains both an adulticide and an insect
growth regulator.
- Clean and treat your car, pet carrier,
garage, basement, or any other place your pet hangs out.
- Fleas like places where it is moist, warm,
shady, and where there is organic debris. Break out the rake and clear away leaves, grass clippings, etc. Be sure to concentrate
on areas such as patios, under porches, and dog houses.
Shampoos will get rid of the fleas on your pet, but a long term solution that is most effective is to see your vet and get once-a-month topical application products. Flea collars only provide protection for the neck.
Be persistent! Until all of the fleas in your home have died, you may still see some fleas, even on a treated pet. This is especially true if you
had a big flea problem to start with. Keep at it, and your efforts will ultimately result in a flea-free home and pet.
