Ridding a home of fleas can be a frustrating and costly endeavor. Unlike some pests encountered around the home, fleas cause discomfort and irritation to both pets and people. Fleas account for more than half of all dermatological conditions requiring veterinary assistance, and even a single flea bite to a hypersensitive animal or person may cause intense itching and irritation.

Essential Facts About Fleas

Treatment of Premises

If you neglect to treat the pet's environment (the premises), you will miss more than 90% of the developing flea population -- the eggs, larvae and pupae. If the pet spends time indoors, the interior of the home should also be treated. Before treatment, the pet owner should:

• Remove all toys, clothing, and stored items from floors, under beds, and in closets. This step is essential so that all areas will be accessible for treatment.

• Remove pet food and water dishes, cover fish tanks, and disconnect their aerators.

• Wash, dry-clean or destroy all pet bedding.

• Vacuum! -- vacuuming removes many of the eggs, larvae and pupae developing within the home. Vacuuming also stimulates pre-adult fleas to emerge sooner from their insecticide-resistant cocoons, thus hastening their contact with insecticide residues in the carpet. By raising the nap of the carpet, vacuuming improves the insecticide's penetration down to the base of the carpet fibers where the developing fleas live. Vacuum thoroughly, especially in areas where pets rest or sleep. Don't forget to vacuum along edges of rooms and beneath furniture, cushions, beds, and throw rugs. After vacuuming, seal the vacuum bag in a garbage bag and discard it in an outdoor trash container.

Insecticide Application - Once fleas become established in a home, insecticides are almost always needed to control them. This should be done by an experienced professional trained in insecticides and the different carpet fibers. Other than the person performing the application, people and pets should be out of the house during treatment. People and pets should also remain off treated surfaces until the spray has dried. This may take several hours, depending on carpet type, ventilation and method of application. Opening windows and running the fan or air conditioner after treatment will enhance drying and minimize odor.

Spot-On Flea Treatments for Dogs & Cats Proceed With Caution

 When flea season arrives, most pet owners attend to task of protecting their cats and dogs against these annoying pests. A flea infestation can be a major disruption in your household, with not only pets itching and scratching, but also your family and guests bitten by fleas. Though a wide variety of products are available to repel fleas and ticks, reactions to the powerful pesticides in these treatments can occur. Spot-on products offer the convenience of once-a-month application, but these must be used with caution to avoid pet health problems

 How Spot-On Treatments Work

The term spot-on refers to the way the flea repelling product is applied to the animal, usually on the back of the animals neck or between its shoulder blades. The flea-killing chemical sinks into the fat layer under the animals skin and is then spread through the oils of the coat. This protection lasts for about a month. The chemical is also waterproof, so that you can bathe your pet if needed and still have the protection against fleas. You should not use other flea repellents products such as shampoos, powders, sprays or flea collars if you are using spot-on treatments.

 Use on Dogs

Spot-on flea and tick treatments come in a variety of strengths. Use the correct one for the weight of your dog. Do not attempt to use half a dose of a large dog for your smaller dog or combine two doses suited for a smaller dog if you have a large dog. Observe your dog for a few days after his first spot-on treatment. If you notice any unusual behavior or symptoms, consult your veterinarian. Take the spot-on treatment with you so that the vet knows what type of chemical is causing the problem.

 Use on Cats

Some cats can be particularly sensitive to flea and tick repellant products. As with dogs, you should use the correct dosage for the weight of your pet. Apply the product only as directed on the label. Because cats lick themselves, it is important to ensure there are no side effects from the flea and tick repellent chemicals. Observe the cats behavior and consult your veterinarian for any unusual symptoms, taking the product with you.

 Special Precautions

Never use a spot-on flea treatment for dogs on your cat. Cats are not small dogs. They have a different biology and can be harmed by products formulated for dogs. Never use a product containing permethrin on cats. Permethrin is a synthetic type of pyrethrin that is toxic to cats. A reaction can occur within hours of applying it to the cat. Symptoms of toxicity include muscle tremors, seizures, depression, anorexia or vomiting. Always check the label of the spot-on flea product to ensure that it does not contain permethrin. If you notice unusual symptoms soon after applying a spot-on treatment to your cat, take him to the veterinarian immediately.  You should also wash the cat with a mild dishing liquid to remove the chemical from the cats skin.
