Getting Rid of Fleas -Dog & Cat Health

Regina Jacobsen, August 28, 2021

Cats are naturally able to fight, play and sleep in flea-infested areas. Cat fleas can be brought in from under a house or an abandoned complex were fleas are patiently lurking. These parasites simply hitch a ride back to your home and there, they multiply. Dog and cat health can be compromised by fleas and protecting them is vital in the relentless battle against the parasites. The same techniques you use to fight cat fleas can be used in your yard and home. As with home and yard protection, basic cleaning is a solid foundation to launch your attack.

Combs – If adult fleas have trenched themselves in the cat fur your most efficient tool is a flea comb. Combing has several benefits. It removes adult fleas and reduces the need for insecticide. Additionally, two can be combined with an alcohol- or soap solution to kill adult fleas immediately. Adult fleas prefer thick fur so they can accumulate around the neck, front and sides of the tail.

Solutions – Shampoo is a great way to chemically eliminate unwanted pests. Soapy shampoo can be used to subdue light infestations. You can dramatically increase the effectiveness by soaking shampoo for between 5-10 minutes before you rinse.

IGR’s are insect growth regulators. They can be used as spot-on’s sprays, pills or food ingredients. IGR’s aim to control larvae and egg development. IGRs can cause adult fleas to become incapable of reproducing and eggs to fail to hatch. Larvae also die before they reach maturity. The only issue is the adult fleas that ultimately survive the IGR’s affects. IGRs can often be combined with mild insecticides to eliminate adult fleas. Cat enclosures

Enclosures – You can choose the location that your dog or cat roams after leaving the safety of your home. Dog and cat cages, or enclosures, are often built out to sunny spots where fleas are less likely to thrive. It is important to provide shade but keep the area dry. Parasites thrive in moist areas. Your pet will be safe from fleas if they live in a well-kept yard.
