No nonsense flea control and flea prevention!
Nobody
wants to spray nasty chemicals around the house to get
rid of fleas, so prevention is key before things get
too bad. Why not think of flea control as a game of
chess where you stay several moves ahead!
Make
friends with your vacuum cleaner, laundry machine and
towels.
All
of these cleaning agents will help you to stay on top
of the game. Vacuuming carpeted floors, wood floors,
rugs and upholstered furniture regularly will help destroy
flea eggs before they hatch. In areas of the house where
your dog loves to lay, vacuum more frequently.
Rules
for vacuuming: spring time is the beginning of the active
flea season. Be sure to vacuum certain rooms twice.
This will suck up nasty fleas that didn't make it to
the vacuum bag the first time. Also, pick up any objects
from the floor to maximize your floor coverage. Be sure
to change the vacuum bag often and be sure fleas can't
escape while doing so.
Another
tip:
Place a towel or two, during times of flea infestation,
on top of your dog's favorite resting area.You way want
to apply an insect growth regulator (IGR) to the towel.
IGR is a natural hormone safe for your pet but deadly
for fleas. It will kill eggs, larvae and adult fleas.
Be sure to wash towel with hot water once or twice daily
as necessary to control fleas.
