Once your pet has fleas it can be difficult to
completely eradicate them. Here are a few tips
to keep in mind that will help you get a flea
problem under control;
Understand the different stages of the lifecycle
Select products to target the different life stages
Use a fast acting adult flea knockdown product
like Capstar or flea shampoo
Use a suitable topical or systemic flea control
product monthly, every month!!
Treat all pets in the household
Wash and sun dry all bedding, rugs and toys
Vacuum the house daily
Limit socialisation with animals from outside the
household
Spray or treat the yard and/or kennel area with a
suitable product
Select a flea treatment product that is suitable
and recommended for use in your pet
Read and follow the instructions on all products
Do not reduce or miss doses
Be careful in selecting products for use with or
around cats
Year round prevention is always best
Continue treatments even if you think all the
fleas are gone

Eradication visit the vet-n-pet DIRECT Help
