Fleas

Cockatiels don't get fleas, but they can get other kinds of parasites like mites and ticks. The best way to prevent parasites is to prevent contact with wild birds. DO NOT use chemical bird protectors or mothballs. They might be sold by unscrupulous pet stores, but they are not safe to use around your bird. If you suspect that your bird might have parasites, you should contact your avian veterinarian for treatment. Don't try to treat an infestation yourself. --------

No, they don't get fleas and can get mites as said above. However, I have used the bird protectors for 14 years now and can report my bird is very healthy and happy. (We also let him out almost every day, which probably accounts for his happy nature!)

yes

If your dog (or cat) is infested with fleas, it is possible that the adult fleas will bite any human that is in the vicinity. The fleas will not "infest" or stay on the person very long, as the dog or cat is the preferred host. If a pet owner is getting lots of flea bites, it usually means the pet and the environment are heavily infested. Eradicating a flea infestation can be very challenging and frustrating, consult your veterinarian.

Ferrets do tend to scratch and itch a lot. Bathing and/or using a product not made for ferrets will dry out their skin, making them itch, also check for fleas. Bathing a ferret is not necessary unless they get into something and needs a bath. Ferrets can also have allergies that will make them itchy. If you are feeding dry ferret food, give them a tiny bit of olive oil every few days for their coat, it has a lot of good nutrients. Most ferrets like olive oil, you can use it as a treat for them. Also your ferret's ears may need cleaning which also causes them to scratch themselves

Anything that has fleas, can give fleas to guinea pigs.

It depends on how old the kittens are. But, whatever you do, DO NOT BATHE YOUR PUSSYS! They can lose their body heat very easily and die. The only way to get rid of fleas on newborn kittens is to give the mother something that kills fleas, since it is highly probable that they got them fom Mama cat, and hope that the babies get enough through her milk.

at that time of the plague people had poor hygiene which attracted rats to get comfortable at dirty areas and when this happened flees eventually got on them and the rats managed to get on a boat and as they moved around flees were spread and humans ought the disease

From a can of DEEP WOODS OFF!: "Provides long-lasting protection from mosquitoes, ticks (including ticks that carry Lyme disease) and biting flies: stable flies, black flies, and sand flies. Also repels chiggers, fleas, gnats, no-see-ums from treated skin or clothing." So yes.

There is not a injection but there is some "drops" which you apply to the dogs skin that will kill all fleas and ticks for 2 months. The treatment is very popular and is known as Frontline spot on. Your Vet will supply this treatment and some major pet stores also supply this treatment. However if fleas have infested your house you will need to follow necessary household treatments to remove the fleas.

Just get an exterminator before it grows.

There are several home remedies known for keeping fleas off of dogs. Mixing water with lemon juice, mixing water with vinegar, and also taking the peel from an orange and rubbing the inside of the peel all over the dogs coat.

Yes yo do have to worry about a dog having fleas and you having really long hair because fleas is another name for lice for a dog but lice is another for fleas inhuman stile so you do have to worry

I was told by tech at their 800# a person ONLY needs to use 1.5 fl. Oz. Of liquid concentrate. This marvelous item measures out one gallon all on its own!! I purchased a CAMELLION (sp?.) Found it at "Wallymart." We LOVE IT. It adapts to ANY chemical end hose container. Well worth the extra $3.00. When it rains, you MUST re-apply. MUST !! HAVE A LOVELY DAY !!

Yes. If you believe that you have a flea infestation, take a small table lamp with the shade removed. Turn the lamp on and tip it to lean over a pie plate with dish soap and water (mixed 2:1) in the bottom. Leave the room for a couple hours. When you return, if you have fleas, you will find little flea carcasses on the pie plate.

The male inseminates the female BedBug which then lays eggs. The female can lay between 1 to 12 eggs per day and up to 200 in a lifetime.

The Bedbug eggs are white and about 1 mm long, and almost impossible to see on most surfaces. The favorite place of the female Bedbug to lay her eggs is in the folds of your mattress, right where you sleep. The eggs have a sticky coating and clusters of 10-50 Bedbug eggs can be found in cracks and crevices. Bedbug eggs are also deposited in woodwork, furniture, carpet and other fabrics. Bedbug eggs hatch in 6 to 17 days, and the young Nymphs are ready to feast

In the winter there are definitely not as many fleas, as it is too cold. The answer is no, you do not need to treat your cats for fleas in the winter. But if your cat has had fleas recently, the best choice is to play it safe, and treat them at least once.

Hope I helped!

Not at all

But if you do notice a rash, or skin irritation, check with a vet, because your dog may be having an allergic reaction to the flea treatment.

Some of the adults, but I would not rely on one for either of these pests. Bedbugs are particularly hardy creatures & if they are in your box springs, most pros will recommend you discard or put a slipcover over to seal them in since there are too many nooks & crannies to effectively treat unless you use heat & a lot of it.

To remove fleas from a newborn puppy you will first need to fill a sink with enough warm water to soak the puppy thoroughly. Rub Dawn dish soap over the entire puppy, lathering completely. Makes sure you do not get the soap in the eyes or mouth of the puppy. Rinse thoroughly. Use tweezers to remove any existing fleas.

You can fumigate it by enclosing it in a really big plastic bag and then use a bug bomb I suggest you do it out doors and follow all directions on the bug bomb. better yet hire it done by a professional. Warning: if not done right can cause fire, injury and or death

Sadly yes, I found two wild baby rabbits and they both had mites and ticks. There where red small ones and gray gigantic ones. You should never touch a rabbit or any animal that has mites or ticks. They will make you itch and it is untreatable!

Plus they carry diseases to animals and man.

no

yes... to smash a flea you'd need to crush in in between your finger nails
