ps.com... Hello, I started a blog about how to get rid of fleas. Recently my dog had some on him and now our house is like a minefield. Can someboddy help me, please? howtokillfleas.tumblr.com I will post your answer. As long as i get rid of these pests. My son of 14 months even has bites. AatjeManon Step 1: Go to the vet and get some Advantage. Apply to animal per instructions. Step 2: A day or two after applying advantage, spend an entire day vacuuming the house. Vacuum everywhere including under furnature and under seat cushions. Use crevice tools to get along baseboards. Wash bedding and clean any surfaces where a pet rests. Discard vacuum bags outside after completing. Step 2 Gets rid of any flea Eggs and larva, that can hatch later ind reinfest. Any remaining fleas that jump on the pet will die before any new eggs are laid effectivly breaking the life cycle. John |

AatjeManon Hi, I work at a vet clinic, and we tell people to apply Frontline for 3 consecutive months. No need to vaccum everywhere, etc. because as the fleas hatch out they will get on the pet and be killed. If you have a big flea problem where you live you can apply frontline monthly. You can only get Frontline at a vet clinic, and it can be expensive, but it works the best with the fewest side effects. |

You can only get Frontline at a vet clinic, and it can be expensive, but it works the best with the fewest side effects. Can anyone tell me the the merits of using Stronghold or Advantage instead? From my understanding, it also protects the cats from worms as well? But, I don't think that it covers all worms, does it? I know that Heartworm is a particularly nasty variety of worm, that needs to be treated for separately. Baring this in mind, is it worth paying the bit extra to get rid of the worms @ the same time, if it doesn't cover the worms that are specifically nasty & make your cat very vulnerable, should you choose to use that product, rather than treat the cat separately? Also, does either of these two products work for log enough to kill the entire cycle of fleas, from flea to dead egg's? This reminds of somewhat of the nit nurse that everyone used to dread @ School. I can remember my neighbors fearing her with a passion. If you were one of thew afflicted, off came your hair. That must have been so humiliating, for both child & parent, but apparently it did the job & eliminated them all in one fail scoop! 1 last question. Is it true that the flea's feed on the dead skin that remains on the animal, or do the fleas feed on blood, thus changing their colour to dark brown after a few short days? I have never found a satisfactory answer to this one, so I would be interested to know, if anyone could help with this one? I am considering laying laminate flooring actually, right now, so that the pesky things can't get the chance to hang out in our carpets, but others assure me that a laminated flooring produces all a whole new kettle of fish of problems, such as the cats skidding along on the floors when mock fighting & playing. Another issue, is wondering whether it would make the room feel colder in the winter, thus encouraging me to put a warm nice think piled large mat down in the centre of the room- Which, I guess, defeats the object -but, so far I have resisted the urge, because of reports that it scratches very easily Thanks in advance, Sheelagh "o" |
