How much liquid sevin concentrate to one gallon of water to kill fleas?
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
Can dogs have fleas in the winter?
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!
Can dogs get fleas even if treated with Frontline?
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.
Can over the counter foggers kill bed bugs and fleas?
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.
How do you get rid of fleas off a 3 week old puppy?

Can wild rabbits leave fleas in your lawn?
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.
Are fleas hard to smash with your fingers?

I have found out that the mass of a flea is around about 4000-5000 mP, which means it comes to between 0.08704g and 0.1088g. This is thanks to the wikipieda page about Planck mass, which can be found within the related links.
How much is a flea treatment for a rabbit?
DO NOT use Frontline (chemical name is Fipronil) on your rabbit! This topically applied flea medication has been linked with numerous rabbit deaths due to severe neurological side effects.
Advantage for Kittens and (NOT Advantix) and Revolution for Kittens have safely been used to treat flea and ear mite infestations in rabbits. Make sure that you use the size that corresponds to your rabbit's weight (i.e., don't use the Revolution for Cats when it is meant for larger-sized animals).
Do not attempt to use flea collars on your rabbit! Do not put any kind of a collar on a rabbit since it could severely injure itself trying to take it off.
Do not attempt to use a pyrethrin-based flea dip, flea powder or flea bath for your rabbit. Rabbits are extremely chemically-sensitive animals.
People recommend using a flea comb to extract loose fleas, but this can only do so much, and topical flea medications are strongly suggested. Please make sure you only buy these from a veterinarian's office or a pet medication website that will only take your order after receiving a valid prescription from a veterinarian. There are websites where you can order topical flea medications without a prescription, but it can't be guaranteed that you are buying the guaranteed authentic product.
Be sure to treat the environment that the rabbit is living in as well. If your rabbit lives indoors, wash/wipe down all surfaces and bedding. Vaccum the floors, carpets and upholestry as flea eggs and flea larvae thrive in these environments. Fleas are notoriously difficult to get rid of. A highly suggest flea treatment for upholstered surfaces is to use a mixture of boric acid/Borax (use 20 Mule Team borax or any other brand) and salt and spread this generously on rugs, carpets and couches, leave on for a day and then vaccum off. Repeat for a day or two. Remove all animals and make sure that they don't come into contact with this mixture. The boric acid kills the fleas and the salt dries out the larvae and eggs. Continue to vaccum the house as much as possible and wash bedding, sheets and other applicable materials in hot water.
It would be highly suggested to thoroughly clean out the rabbit's cage, all toys and food bowls in hot water.

It is important to treat both the rabbit infested by fleas and the environment.
Fleas are eliminated by sprays, powder products or topical products:
-pyrethrin based products
-selectamin: Revolution (US) or Stronghold (Europe)- Pfizer, 18 mg/kg. A single topical (local) dose should be sufficient; if not, repeat in 30 days.
-imidacloprid: Advantage- Bayer, one single application is generally enough to remove the fleas. If this is not the case, the treatment can be repeated after 30 days. The vapors of this product can lead to irritation of the eyes; it is thus recommended to aerate the room where the rabbit lives in.
-Iufenuron: Program- Novartis, 10 mg/kg. One sole treatment should be sufficient. If not, the treatment can be repeated after 30 days.
Impregnated anti-flea collars should never be used in rabbits. They lead to severe irritation of the skin. There are reported cases, where the rabbit attempted to remove its collar, and died as a result of jamming its jaw in the collar.
Treatment of the environment is important (boric acid such as Fleabusters; Vet-Kem Acclaim Plus- Sanofi; Staykil- Novartis; Indorex- Virbac; acaricide spray). When treating a carpet, vacuum first in order to further penetration of the spray or powder. Shampooing and steam cleaning are not ideal; their residual humidity can increase the mite problem. During treatment of the environment, rabbits should be kept in another part of the home to avoid the danger of contact with the products.

At what temperature do fleas go dormant?
The eggs, larva, and pupa go dormant at temperatures below freezing. The adults die at these temperatures.
Can fleas be trained and what is a flea circus?
Fleas can be trained by putting them in a jar with a lid. After a while you can remove the lid but the fleas won't jump any higher than they did when the lid was there. So they say.
What are natural ways to get rid of fleas?
heres what i found: Identifying the problem is the first step. Watch your pet for excess scratching, scabs forming on their skin and "flea dirt" or dark speck of "dirt" found on the skin. These are all signs your pet has fleas. Fleas can also carry tapeworms, so noticing small rice-like specks in their feces or around their rear area could not only be a sign of worms, but of fleas as well. In severe cases, your pet may be lethargic and his gums could turn a pale color. Many pets either are or can become allergic to flea saliva, so watch also for any allergic reactions that may occur suddenly.If you notice any of these symptoms, specially the later ones, please seek out your vet as soon as possible. Step2 If you can catch them early enough, you should be able to control and eliminate the flea problem easily. However, it will take patience and endurance. This first natural remedy, using a tonic of lemons and water needs to be applied daily to your pet, but should not be used around any extremely irritated areas or any broken skin/open scabs from scratching.Slice and boil 1 lemon for each pint of water. Boil lemons in the water for at least 15 minutes, then allow to sit overnight. Drain and place in a glass bottle. Apply it to your pet using a soft cloth, getting as close to the skin as possible and coating their fur. Repeat daily until all signs of fleas are gone. This can also be used as a preventive measure. Step3 Dr. Bronner's castile soap comes in bar or liquid form. A natural castile soap or shampoo can be used on your pet to help rid it of fleas. Dr. Bronner's almond castile soap is a gentle soap that will also help keep your pet's skin soft and fur shiny and healthy. The ingredients are all natural, no man-made chemicals, no animal testing, and organic. Castile soap comes in many different types and with different natural additives, from peppermint to lavender. All should work well, although the straight castile soap with no added ingredients would be best until you have tested the others on your pet. Step4 If your pet has fleas, then you can be certain your house does as well. While throughly vacuuming and cleaning any area your pet may have traveled, especially where they sleep, will help with the problem, keep in mind that fleas can jump and are able to leap over large distances. Rather than call in an exterminator (which in extreme cases, you still may need to do) try this environmentally safe flea trap.Find a lamp and place a low watt (60 watts or less) light bulb in it. Turn the light on and leave it shining all night, so that it is the only light in any given room. Place water in a light colored shallow pan. Place this pan on the floor directly under the light, rigging the light so it shines in it. Add a tablespoon of dish soap to the water, stirring so it mixes well. Let sit overnight. You may need to do this in several rooms.Fleas will be attracted to the light and will jump into the shallow pan, and become trapped. Keep the pan in place each night until no fleas are found in the morning. Step5 Capsanem is just one type of beneficial Nematode used to kill fleas. Shady areas in yards are a haven for fleas, ticks and mosquitoes. If your pet is allowed out of the house this is more than likely the place they picked up the fleas and so must also be treated. While sunlight will kill fleas, the shady areas of your yards will need to be treated. Chemicals are available, but it is more environmentally safe and better for your pet, to use a natural combatant. Nematodes are microscopic worms that thrive on flea larvae, eggs and cocoons. Available at most gardensupply stores, they will need to be applied to the yard at least once a month or until all fleas are gone.Another all natural product available is Diatomaceous Earth. Made from the finely ground fossils of prehistoric fresh water diatoms, this fine powder kills common household and garden pests like fleas,roaches and ants while still being safe for all other animal life. This will need to be applied more often, specially after any rainfall. Adding a thin layer of salt to your carpet and leaving it on for a couple of days before vacuuming will hopefully kill the fleas and eggs there. The way this works is it basically desiccate them! A flea collar can be made by rubbing a few drops of one of the following into an ordinary webbing or rope collar or even a doggy bandanna: eucalyptus oil, Tea Tree Oil, citronella, lavender or geranium. This should be done weekly.
What does a sand flea bite look like?
Well, I've experienced sand gnat bites before so. When you first get it on the first day it should look like a little red dot or pale dot. the second day, you may start to itch a little and it get a little redder. But be careful of how much you itch it because it might start to bleed or be infected. What you do if it really itches is to go to a drug store around you somewhere and get itching cream extra strength. then you must apply it on your face, but not to much like 3-4 times. that should do it. but you also may get 1-20 bites somewhere on your body.
Are there fleas in the Arctic?
Yes, there are fleas in Alaska. The fleas can be on house pets such as dogs and cats. Fleas can also be on wild animals such as bears.
because pets like dogs gets dirty and stuff. Also fleas loves dirty things so
you might have to wash your pet!!!*^^*
Fleas live in the outdoor environment and once a flea gets onto your pet it lays eggs leading to more fleas, enough fleas can suck so much blood from your pet that they develop anemia and eventually die so use flea prevention and keep on top of them. Fleas are not discriminat..they bite humans too!
There's fleas everywhere outside. They don't just go on dirty pets, they even get on clean ones too. Don't expect your dog/cat to be immune to fleas just because they're spotless.
What part of a dogs body do they have fleas?
You should mostly check in the most hairy places on your animal, such as the neck, back, and underside. Another great place to check is near the animals tail; fleas love to hide in areas of dense fur, so be sure to comb these areas with a flea comb, if possible. Fleas are not easily seen by the naked human eye so using a flea comb is a quick and painless way to check your dog's coat for fleas.
Do fleas like mice as they do dogs?
No, humans cannot catch fleas. Fleas that drop off a cat or dog can jump up and bite a humans' legs, but larvae or adult fleas cannot live off a human; they need to be where there is a lot of fur and warmth.
