Fleas

If you have seen one flea, your house is likely already infested. You can contact a pest exterminator to help figure out how bad the infestation is and how it can be eliminated.

Remove all animals from the home and using a flea bug bomb will get rid of them in the house or a local exterminator. A vet should be consulted on what products will be best for flea removal for the cat.

Fleas on dogs and cats! These small dark brown insects prefer temperatures of 65-80 degrees and humidity levels of 75-85%... so for some areas of the country they are more than just a "summer" problem. Dogs and cats often get infested with fleas through contact with other animals or contact with fleas in the environment. The strong back legs of this insect enable it to jump from host to host or from the environment onto the host. (Fleas do not have wings so cannot fly!) The flea's bite can cause itching for the host but for a sensitive or flea-allergic animal, this itching can be quite severe and leads to hair-loss, inflammation and secondary skin infections. Some pets, hypersensitive to the flea's saliva, will itch all over from the bite of even a single flea! The flea information presented here will focus on treatment for and prevention of fleas, which, let's face it, is just as important to the pet as it is to the pet's caretakers!

How do you know if fleas are causing all that itching (called pruritus)? Generally, unlike the burrowing, microscopic (Demode x) http://www.thepetcenter.com/exa/dem.html or (Scabies Mites,) http://www.thepetcenter.com/exa/mites.html fleas can be seen scurrying along the surface of the skin. Dark copper colored and about the size of the head of a pin, fleas dislike light so looking for them within furry areas and on the pet's belly and inner thighs will provide your best chances of spotting them. Look for "flea dirt", too. "Flea dirt" looks like dark specks of pepper scattered on the skin surface. See the image of flea dirt near the bottom-right of this article. If you see flea dirt, which is actually flea feces and is composed of digested blood, pick some off the pet and place on a wet paper towel. If after a few minutes the tiny specks spread out like a small blood stain... it's definitely flea dirt and your pet has fleas! Flea dirt may be your only evidence of a flea infestation but believe the evidence! If there is flea dirt there are surely fleas present. You need to begin your war on the pests.

Adult fleas live on mammals because they need regular blood meals. However, flea eggs, pupa and larva live in bedding and clothing piles until they become adults.

The body part that insects have and cat fleas do not is wings. Fleas are wingless insects that feed on the blood of animals including cats.

Wash your dog regularly and comb the fleas off. Mix together baking soda & salt & put throughout the house or dogs area then after a few hours vacuum it up. It dries up the fleas and they stop jumping & biting. It works so good! This treatment may have to be repeated after the flea eggs hatch tho.

there are a few possible reasons for this 1. you may not be using enough 2. you may not be getting it directly on the dog's skin 3. the fleas may have developed a resistance to the medication 4. there may be too many fleas to be controlled by advantage whatever the cause, you can do several things 1. make sure that the size you are using is correct for your dog's weight 2. be certain that you follow the directions on the package very closely 3. if the above doe not help, try changing to a different product, with a different active ingredient 4. if there are still no results, ask your veterinarian about Capstar. capstar is a pill that begins killing fleas ~30 minutes after giving it to your dog, and i have seen it work wonders for dogs that had been previously miserable from severe flea infestations, so try it out! also remember that fleas reproduce in the environment (grass, carpet, etc.) so killing them there is vital for prevention of re-infestations

Flea Fogger is said to be very ineffective in removing fleas from one's home that are often a problem when has a cat or dog in the house. One should have each individual animal treated.

Yes, Chipmunks get fleas. They are known to carry and spread them. You can give your chipmunk a small dose of flea medicine but from my experience, my chipmunk licked it off. I used a all natural cat flea medicine i got from Krogers. Also be sure to bomb the house, mainly the room the chipmunk is in. All animals need to be gone from the house for to hours and wait 30 minutes after cleanup before letting them back in. Its best not to mop or anything because that will take the bombing medicine off the floor and kind of defeats the purpose of the bombing process

Insects such as mosquitoes, flies, ticks, fleas, bees, and wasps cannot spread HIV. If an insect bites a person with HIV, the virus dies as the insect digests the blood. HIV is only able to live in human cells.
