100% Flea Control (Part 2)

Pet professionals such as groomers (who deal with dozens of flea-infested animals every day) don't have fleas in their own homes. What do they know that you don't know? Nothing, if you read these articles about flea control.

Split Your Troops and Fight on All Fronts

New pet treatments have added to the arsenal of weapons available for fighting fleas, but the battle must still be fought on 3 fronts in both the Present and the Future: Pets, House and Yard: Now and Tomorrow.

Pets act like small mine-sweepers, collecting hatched and hungry fleas from everywhere. Treating the pets is essential for their own comfort as well as to kill any errant fleas entering the area from afar.

Fleas can jump over 6 feet, and they enter the house by any carrier available: pets and humans. White clothing, socks, and sneakers excite and invite them right into the living room where they remain unseen and happily reproducing without your ever knowing until the problem is advanced. Treat your entire square footage indoors including garages, outbuildings, and dog houses or kennels.

You simply cannot allow a single flea to survive in your or your pet's, environment if you want to live a life free of allergies, disease, and irritation.

The yard is the most arduous task, but you MUST treat the area outdoors with just as much determination as you treat the pets and house.

If you neglect ONE place in your yard, car, garage, summer house, winter house or chateau on the Riviera, fleas will ultimately come back to occupy all of these locations and more.
