When combing the fur of cats and dogs with a comb with dense teeth, fleas may get stuck in the teeth. Don't crush it at this time, but stick it on tape or put it in water with detergent to kill it. If crushed to death, the eggs in the flea will fly out and may be licked by cats and dogs.

Trick 2:

Clean the house thoroughly, and the fleas that have escaped the net or fallen on the bed should be completely removed with a vacuum cleaner. Especially the corner of the room, the edge of the wooden floor, the hair room of carpets and blankets should be carefully cleaned. If you can't get rid of it, hang pesticide boards in the house or put pesticides under carpets and blankets. But the insecticidal board is not only the bane of fleas, but also harmful to people, cats and dogs, so the house must be flooded with fleas and used temporarily as a last resort. Families with children, cats and dogs had better not use them.

Trick 3:

The countermeasure to eliminate fleas is to keep cats and dogs clean. Shampoo and nursing liquid specially used to kill fleas are used to deal with fleas that can't be cleaned with a comb. When washing, it gets wet little by little from the beginning, leaving fleas with no way out.

Trick 4:

For cats who don't like bathing, give them flea powder. Flea powder for cats and dogs may contain ingredients that are harmless to dogs but harmful to cats, so it should be used exclusively for cats. Separate the hair behind the ear from the place where there may be fleas on the abdomen and feet, put your hand in and sprinkle with flea powder, then comb it with a brush. Sprinkle it every 2-3 days, not every day.

Trick 5:

Take 250 grams of fresh citrus peel, cut it into pieces with a knife, wrap it with gauze, and squeeze out sweet and sour juice. Dilute the juice with 500 grams of boiling water and mix well. After cooling, spray it on cats and dogs, or soak it in citrus diluent with a towel and wrap it on cats and dogs. After an hour, fleas on cats and dogs will all die!

In order to effectively kill fleas, adults must be killed and the growth environment of fleas must be controlled.

Kill adults

There are many flea-killing products on the market, with different formulas, killing speed, effects, expiration date and ease of use. If the cat is allergic to flea bites, use a quick flea killing drug to prevent fleas from biting it.

environmental control

Frequent vacuuming and immediately tying the bag of vacuum cleaner and throwing it away can greatly reduce the chance of fleas growing into adults in the house during the non-adult period. All the contaminated things on the dog's bed should be thoroughly cleaned or thrown away. Others should also:

1) Long-acting flea killer can kill adults and prevent them from laying eggs by giving them to dogs or other pets with fleas.

2) house treatment, killing fleas in different periods. This step is difficult because the larvae may be hidden deep in carpets and sofas. This may take time and money, because the whole house has to be dealt with, including all cracks and corners. It is best to suck dust before taking medicine to stimulate adults to cocoon. Follow the instructions for drug use to avoid poisoning.

Pay special attention to the places where dogs often haunt, especially where they sleep. What can be washed should be washed and dried. If it can't be washed out, you can consider throwing it away.

3) All dogs can give medicine to prevent fleas from becoming adults. But these drugs won't kill adults.

According to all the instructions, some methods may take several months to completely eliminate fleas.

Long-term flea control

If all fleas, adults and non-adults have been eliminated, then the way to eliminate fleas should be changed. If the pet doesn't go out, nothing needs to be done. If not, you can choose a long-lasting flea-killing product. But don't be intermittent, stick to it.

Flea killing product

Spray, powder, bath agent, tablet, etc.

Sprays and powders have a short shelf life. If fleas grow in the environment around the dog, the dog will soon grow fleas again. Dog collars also have a certain period of validity and need to be replaced in time. Some people say that the scope of killing fleas by dog collars is limited, and fleas may grow outside the dog neck. The quality of dog collars bought in China is uneven, so we should be careful when choosing them (an article on Lucky Cat Online mentioned that the main components of drugs should be one of synergistic pyrethroids, pyrethroids, carbamates, organic phosphates or aldosterone). According to experience, it is not recommended to use domestic flea killing rings, especially puppies. It is not advisable to use more than one dog at home to avoid dogs licking each other. There have been many cases of dogs suffering from anorexia, diarrhea and other poisoning symptoms due to licking flea circles.

Bath agents can only wash away and kill adults in dogs, but not eggs. At present, there are two kinds of safe and long-lasting flea-killing products in China, one is called miechongning (made in China) and the other is called Fulaien (imported). The insecticidal mechanism of the two drugs is that when the drug is dropped on the dog's skin, the drug will quickly penetrate under the skin, resulting in slight toxicity. Fleas will be poisoned if they bite dogs again. Because the drug lasts for a long time (about one month), if new fleas hatch, they will be poisoned quickly within the validity period of the drug. According to the experience of domestic pet owners, these two drugs have the best flea control effect. However, it should be noted that the dosage of miechongning is strictly limited and cannot exceed the dosage in the instruction, otherwise it will easily cause skin allergy and cannot be used for puppies under three months and pregnant bitches. Fu Laien is expensive, but the product is safe and suitable for puppies and pregnant dogs.

New products for flea control abroad

There are several new safe and effective products abroad that are harmless to mammals, so they can be used for puppies.

Merial drops or sprays can safely remove fleas from two-day-old puppies. This medicine will kill adults.

Advantage (Bayer) drops kill adults.

Program (Novartis) to prevent flea eggs from hatching. Feed the dog once a month or inject it once every six months. Fleas suck drugs into their bodies when they suck blood. But this medicine won't kill adults.

Staykil spray is used for environmental control to prevent flea larvae from becoming adults.

There are also some hormone drugs (Acclaim 2000 produced by Sanofi Company, or Indorex produced by Wilbak Company) that can be used for environmental control and sprayed in the place where dogs live, and the validity period can reach six months to one year. These drugs can also kill eggs. These are also used to make sprays and dog collars to kill fleas on dogs.

suggestion

Traditional flea drugs can easily lead to dog poisoning. Some flea drugs used by cats are also toxic to dogs. If several flea-killing drugs are used at the same time, the chemicals in them may react and be toxic to dogs. So be careful when killing fleas. If the doctor prescribed a flea killer, other drugs or anesthesia for the dog, tell the doctor the flea killer you are using now.
