Pets with fleas can be a terrible experience for the pets and their owners. Not only is your pet suffering, but flea bites on humans can be very annoying as well. If you’ve been suffering, and want to know how to get rid of fleas, take a look at the following simple plan.
Fortunately, there are a few simple steps you can follow that are very effective for flea control. You have to keep in mind, however, that you need to keep to this plan, work on it every day, and don’t let up.
Step number one is to kill the fleas on your pet. There are many different treatments available for this aim, but the most popular is Frontline. Frontline is available for dogs and cats, and comes in small, single-dose vials. The treatment is applied to the skin between the shoulder blades, and disperses over the animal through the hair follicles and oil glands. Frontline will kill fleas for a month afterwards.
The fleas in your home are the next target in the flea control program. Wash as much of your pet’s bedding and other items that might be exposed to fleas in a washing machine. Once you’ve done this, vacuum your carpets thoroughly, and continue to vacuum as much as possible.
After this, you need to go back to step one and go through the whole process again, even if you think the fleas are gone. Keep treating your home too, vacuuming as much as you can. You might also want to use a spot flea spray on your carpets where you pet’s bed is. The most important thing is to keep at it. You might think you’re rid of the fleas, only to find that you’ve been re-infested because you didn’t stick with it.
Really bad flea infestations can be a nightmare. Just don’t give up, or let down your guard. We wish you the best, and a flea-free life.
