Ways To Get Rid of Fleas
Fleas can be difficult to kill as their life cycle can vary throughout the year depending on where you live and their home environment. As pet owners, fleas are our "No. 1 Enemy" on our list of parasites that plague our pets. Matter of fact, we kill these little pesky ones whenever we see a flea in our homes. We're also relentless at doing it. We sweep and vacuum the floors and furniture. And, we use bug sprays and foggers of all types to end the pestilence.
Don't Forget To Treat Your Pet
Killing the fleas in your home and yard doesn't end the infestation. It's important that you treat your pets by killing the fleas that are already on your pet. Although it's only a matter of time when another flea invasion comes your way and you find yourselves putting on another fight, preventing them from happening in the first place can be really effective.
Fortunately, there are a number of flea control products that are readily available in pet stores everywhere. Advantage II, Advantix II, Frontline Plus and Seresto are some of the more popular ones that are both effective in preventing and killing fleas and their eggs. We came up with a comparison table that describes some of the features that make any of these to be effective. Come take a look below!
