Get To Us For Natural Flea Control

There are many things that you can do in your attempt to get rid of fleas on your pet and in your home, including setting a trip with a light source pointed at a bowl of soapy water in a darkened room. The fleas will jump toward the heat generated by the light and land in the soapy water from which they cannot escape.

As a matter of regular maintenance, vacuum your home regularly and keep your pet's betting laundered. There are natural flea control sprays available at pet store's that can be applied to bedding as preventatives. These products are made of oils, for instance garlic, whose scents are offensive to the fleas but not to your pets. Moth balls can also be used for this purpose but should be used with extreme caution so that your pets do not ingest the deadly balls. A good method is to place the moth balls in a discarded margarine container sealed with duct tape. Poke holes in the plastic container to allow the odor to be distributed.

Frontline or Lufenuron and Flea Control

The Frontline range of flea treatment products has a proven record of effectiveness. The product come in both drops and sprays but should only be used after consultation with your veterinarian. Vets can also apply injections of lufenuron if you are dealing with a persistent flea problem and can advise you about additional options.

Systemic Insecticides

Systemic insecticides are products that are given to the pet orally (drops and tablets) or that are applied straight to the skin of the pet (usually in the neck between the shoulder blades). This type of flea treatment is usually highly successful and treatments can be purchased from your vet or any certified pet store. Again, do not apply any chemical to your animal without first consulting your veterinarian.
