Most flea sprays, foams and powders need to be applied two or three times a week.
• Most flea soaps and dips need to be used once a week to be effective.
• Thorough saturation is the secret in applying flea products to an animal. Protect the animal’s eyes with vaseline or mineral oil prior to treatment.
• Use only one insecticide at a time. Don’t mix chemicals; a toxic reaction can occur.
• Internal insecticides in pill or liquid form normally are given twice a week. Avoid any exposure to other insecticides for at least 24 hours after dosing.
• Sprays and foggers for treating the house should normally be used once a week for three weeks and then should be used once a month.
• Vacuum carpets thoroughly following house spraying or fogging and dispose of the vacuum bag, preferably by burning.
• Treatment of yards, pens or runs with diazinon, malathion or dursban should be done thoroughly with a pressure sprayer every two weeks for three applications.
• Carefully examine household pets daily for live fleas or flea “dirt” (dark specks of dried blood) to evaluate your control program. The base of the tail and groin are favorite flea locations.
• Carefully plan your attack on fleas and use a comprehensive approach to the problem. Consult your local veterinarian for advice on flea control.
A pet owner who doesn’t take an active role in flea control will not only find that his pets are uncomfortable, but that fleas can start biting him when there are too many to live off a pet, Dr. Roberts added.
