How Can You Take Fleas Off Your Pet?
WouterFleas can be difficult to get rid of, but the good news is that there are products on the market that will kill them for good. These treatments are safe for use on pets and can be taken from your veterinarian. You can also purchase over-the-counter products from a pharmacy. However, if you have multiple animals, it’s important to treat each animal separately. This is important because some products designed for dogs may not be safe for cats, and vice versa.
To kill fleas, you can use insecticide spray. This spray is best used in areas where you think fleas are active. It may take a few hours for the product to work, so be patient. Open windows while the product is drying. Heat is another factor that will kill fleas, so make sure to spray your home and yard the same day as treating your pet.
Fleas are brown and wingless insects that are easy to spot. Their flat bodies and six legs are designed for jumping. They can jump as high as 30cm. They range in size from 1.5mm to 4mm, with the female being a little over two millimeters long. While most fleas live for only a couple of days without food, some can live up to a year without feeding.
Fleas live on dogs and cats but can also infest humans. They feed on human blood and can infest a home within minutes. The female fleas can lay up to 50 eggs in a day, while males lay as many as 500 eggs in a lifetime. Fleas live in the environment and can cause baldness, hair loss, and sore patches.
