Almost everyone who owns a dog will have to deal with fleas occasionally. Once fleas have moved into a home it can be very difficult to get rid of them. One way to eliminate a flea infestation is through the use of a fogger. Foggers are widely available at supermarkets and other stores. The fogger will include detailed instructions that should be followed for optimal results. Because flea eggs may not be affected by the fogger, treatment may have to be repeated in 10-14 days.

Will fleas jump off a dog after flea drops are applied?
Yes. They jump off and into the carpet, etc. furniture. One way to eliminate fleas on the dog is to bathe them, neck down, then do the head. You may see the fleas going down onto the nose or into the ears. I use Eucalyptus soap, but as long as you use soap and water it will drown the fleas. Vacuum a lot, and dispose of the bag immediately to the trash. Soap works faster and more safely than pesticides with fleas. Be sure to lather up the dog or cat and don't hurry to rinse off... let the fleas absorb into the lather, then rinse. Shampooing will eliminate the live fleas, pesticide will not; it weakens them (and your dog).
