Prevention and disposal of fleas in cats and dogs.

It is generally accepted that fleas are a privilege of the feline lifestyle, but I must say that any pet in your house can get infected with fleas, not excluding members of your family.

The fact is that fleas, although they feed on blood, biting their host - the carrier, can also bite a person calmly, despite the fact that there will be no vegetation on his body that allows fleas to stay on the surface of the skin and lead a cloudless lifestyle.

Where does a person get flea bites from if they do not live on him?

It is all the fault of carpets and carpets with a pile, where fleas will be waiting for you and, if the opportunity arises, when you lower your bare feet to the floor, rush to bite you. Of course, one - two - three fleas on the body of your pet are unlikely to attack you, but the case when the fight against the flea population does not lead to effective results, and they increase their numbers, will be the factor that will lead to the fact that that you too will be bitten by fleas.

What to do with a pet that has caught fleas?

The most convenient means for preventing and getting rid of fleas in cats and dogs are drugs for oral administration. There are special-purpose drugs, which, when ingested by animals, create a chemical layer in the skin integument that acts on the laid eggs of fleas and on newly hatched individuals of the flea family (the drug does not work on adults, so how their body is covered with a shell). The population of eggs and newborn fleas will decrease, and after 4-6 weeks, adults will also die (from old age). Thus, the animal will be freed from intrusive insects. But what about fleas in the house, with carpets, where some fleas can move from the surface of the pet's body. For this case, traditional means of dealing with fleas are suitable: aerosols, shampoos, and other disinfectants that can be used to treat the carpet to combat intrusive creatures and get rid of fleas in the apartment.
