How To Flea Bomb A House

Getting Rid Of Fleas That Cause Your Cat To Scratch

You know how annoying it can be when you have an itch, but you can't reach it to give it a scratch? Well, when your cat has fleas it's like your problem, just multiplied a hundred times.

If your cat has fleas or ticks, you need to take action.  If they are scratching or have irritated skin, your cats need you to bring this problem under control because it can become a much larger problem if you do not.

Even clean cats can end up with fleas.  All it takes is a stray animal to come close enough to the cat.  Or, the cat can pick them up outdoors as well.  Even just one flea can leave many eggs and cause a full scale attack on your pet.  

To stop them before they start, you can use a product such as Frontline or Advantix.  These are pre measured liquid treatments that are applied directly to the cat's skin and coat.  When fleas get onto the pet, these products kill them before they can lay eggs.  Those who want preventative measures for keeping the cat safe should use these.

For most though, it takes seeing the fleas to get them to start fighting them.  If you see tiny black or brown insects on your animal, these are no doubt that your cat is flea infested.  If you do see them, realize that the problem is already a big problem.

What you need to do is make sure to check your pet for fleas all the time.  You can do this with a flea comb.  Carefully comb through the cat's hair and pay attention to the hair around the cat's head and his belly.  These are the ideal places for fleas to hide including the ears, eyes and the nose.  And, they like to burrow in the creases where the cat's legs and body meet.

When combing your pet, if you find a flea you know they are throughout his body.  But, if you end up with a few black or brown specks, this too is a sign that they are hiding somewhere on the pet's body.  

To find them, run your hands over the cat's body.  Look for raised spots on him.  If you find one or more, check it closely to see if it has little legs.  If so the cat has ticks.  You'll need to ask your vet about having the tick removed as you can not do this yourself without risking the tick's head staying behind in your pet's skin.

In order to get them under control, you'll need to use one of the liquid flea and tick treatments.  You can also use flea or tick collars and baths as well.  If the fleas are in your house, as they probably are, then you will need to use a powder or spray for the bedding and upholstered furniture too.  As a last resort, you can use a flea and tick bomb in your home.  But, in this case, the animals will need to stay out of your home for at least 24 hours.

Fleas are a serious concern and you need to keep them from affecting your pet.  If your pet has them, also talk to your vet about treatments he can provide as these are professional strengths that can help.  Before they make your pet sick, take measures at the first sign of trouble.

Fleabusters Rx for Fleas Plus (3 lb) List Price: $33.51 Sale Price: $29.95 You save: $3.56 (11%)   Eligible for free shipping! Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product Description Fleabusters Rx for Fleas Plus Borate Powder has many important 'flea-killing' features. The powder is milled to be extremely fine and is also statically charged. The 'fine' powder allows for easy installation while brushing into the carpet and for light application (very small amounts need to be applied for effectiveness).The 'statically charged' powder provides a clinging effect to carpet fibers. This allows very little to be removed by vacuuming, thereby providing long-lasting protection. The powder attaches to the flea larvae as they wiggle by and the effectiveness of killing (dehydrating) flea larvae is greatly increased.The Rx for Fleas Plus also has a neutral pH of 7.0. While very safe for carpets, the neutral pH is actually more important in a pest control sense by not causing the targeted pest (flea) to be repelled from the powder. Roaches, ants, fleas, etc., can sense and avoid alkaline or acidic substance, but crawl right through the neutral pH material.
