See what fleas can do to your dogs.


Fleas are problematic can become a problem regardless of whether or not there are pets in the home. They are usually brought in on the clothing or furnitures, or become  problems from urban wildlife lining in unused parts of the buildings, such as rats, feral cats, raccoons, opossums, chipmunks, squirrels, or birds.

What are fleas and what can they do

Fleas are tiny, irritating insects. Their bites are itchy and sometimes painful, and getting rid of them could be hard if not done sequentially. Sometimes professional pest control treatment may be required, I can show you how this can be done.

Fleas are very prolific(Under ideal conditions which can occur during the summer months, this life cycle can be completed in 11-13 days.), which gets even shorter when you have pets in the house. But even if you don’t have pets, your yard can potentially play host to fleas, and you may end up with a bunch of mysterious bites.

Flea bite can cause both irritation and disease. Dogs and other pets scratch constantly when heavily infested, resulting in soiled and roughened coats and, sometimes, in nervous conditions. The most serious effects occur when a pet develops an allergy to flea saliva deposited during bite. As few as one or two bites can cause severe itching and scratching in allergic pets.

Cat fleas do not normally live on humans, but do bite people who handle infested animals so such animals should be handle with care

How do I Control fleas

Successful flea control includes not only the treatment of infested pets, but also the thorough treatment of all areas where flea breeding could occur. Any areas where the pet spends a considerable amount of time will produce “hot spots” of infestation that require special attention. It is important to remember flea larvae will develop only in protected micro-habitats where there is a source of dried adult fecal pellets. Sites frequently visited must also be considered as potential flea breeding areas: the location of food and water dishes and the litter box are important.

Pets must also be included in the control program and should be treated on the same day the home and yard are treated. Products such as flea shampoos and sprays can provide temporary control, but spot treatments applied to specific areas of the pet’s body as well as feed-through treatments supplied by veterinarians can be highly successful in breaking the reproductive cycle by preventing flea eggs from developing into adults fleas.
