Flea Control: Getting To Know The Pest

Flea control is an essential part of responsible pet care. Undeniably, fleas are annoying to humans as well as pets for they also carry diseases. Despite its size, they make your pets' lives miserable.

There are stages in the life cycle of the flea. They undergo a complete metamorphosis and there are four distinct stages, respectively from eggs, larvae, pupae into an adult. At any time, about 570 of the fleas are eggs, 34% are larva, 8% are pupa, and only 1% becomes an adult. Te worst thing is that the life cycle of the flea can be completed in even just in 12 days or take as long as 174 days.

Fleas reproduce quickly. Inevitably, they can lay thousands of eggs on your pet and in your home. Eggs of the fleas are laid on the host or are deposited just on the floor of your houses or grounds in your backyard. It is said that to get rid of them is simply to kill them at all life stages - adult, larva and egg.

Flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) is the most common veterinary dermatologic condition in the world. It begins with the bite of a flea. Fleas can cause itching due to the direct irritation from their bite. The allergy causes immune system of your pet to produces all sorts of substances which greatly magnify the severity of itching.

Controlling the flea is attainable. There are a lot of different medicines, drops, sprays, or whatever that you can buy in the market to put on your pet for flea control. There are a lot of differences between the various brands but still the best approach to fleas is strategic prevention.

Many of us may think that it is more expensive to take care of a flea infestation but it is usually cheaper than dealing with the impediment to your pet's health that fleas can bring about.

Description

Flea Away is a vitamin complex, specifically formulated for dogs and cats. Flavored with real liver, your pet will love them! What makes Flea Away different from alternate flea repellents is that fleas don't get on the dog or cat's skin and bite before finding chemicals and going away. The pests simply stay away from your pet because of the odor (undetected by humans) that your pets skin gives off. With Flea Away your dog or cat's skin gives off a natural smell caused by the special safe mixture of vitamins. If your dog or cat has an allergic reaction to flea bites, then Flea Away is the way to go. The fleas, ticks and mosquitoes are naturally repelled before biting your pet. Dosage: Cats: 1 chewable tablet 1 time daily. Dogs: Up to 50 pounds - 1 tablet 1 time daily, 51 to 100 pounds - 2 tablets 1 time daily, 101 to 150 pounds - 3 tablets 1 time daily. Please allow 30 days of use before seeing results as product needs to be in the system.

Features

  • Repells fleas, ticks, & mosquitos
  • No Chemicals or residue
  • Special safe mixture of vitamins
  • Naturally repelled before biting your pet
  • Helps dogs with allergic reaction to flea bites

Description

Program (lufenuron) for dogs and cats controls flea populations by preventing the development of flea eggs. Available in beef flavored oral tablets for dogs and cats, Program is 100% safe and effective in preventing and controlling flea populations. Program is usable with other flea preventatives. Program does not kill adult fleas. Most customers also purchase Capstar, sold separately, to kill adult fleas for a complete flea management program.

An adult female flea can lay up to 2000 eggs in her lifetime, each of which can grow up to live on your pet and lay more eggs in your home. Given the speed at which these pests reproduce, it's no wonder that fighting an infestation can feel like a losing battle. 100% safe and effective, Program is like a birth control pill for fleas, controlling flea populations by preventing the development of eggs and larvae. Once the life cycle is broken, existing adult fleas die off to leave your pet flea-free. Pre-existing immature fleas in the dog’s environment may continue to develop for a short time. This emergence generally occurs during the first 30 to 60 days, so if your pet already has fleas, noticeable results may not be observed until several weeks after dosing. To speed up the process for particularly severe infestations, you can use a product that kills adult fleas in conjunction with the first dose of Program. (Your veterinarian can recommend the most effective treatment plan for your pet.) Perhaps the best way to use Program, however, is before the problem even starts, administering a Flavor Tab once a month year round to prevent your pet from ever developing an infestation. Always give Flavor Tabs with or just after a meal, crushing and mixing with wet food or dosing directly. Be sure to treat every pet in the household for the most effective results. This product includes 6, 204.9-milligram tablets appropriate for dogs 21 through 45 pounds, and cats 7 through 15 pounds. Program is safe for puppies and kittens as young as four weeks old. Label Information Ingredients The active ingredient in Program Flavor Tabs is lufenuron, a benzoylphenylurea derivative classified as an insect development inhibitor (IDI). As an insect development inhibitor, Program Flavor Tabs do not kill adult fleas. Instead, they effectively and safely control flea populations on your pet by breaking the flea’s life cycle at the egg stage. Without concurrent use of an adulticide, adequate flea control may not be achieved in pets that have repeated exposure to flea-infested animals or environments. Warnings Not for human use. Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children. The following adverse reactions have been reported in dogs after giving Program Flavor Tabs: vomiting, depression/ lethargy, pruritus (itchy, scratchy skin), urticaria (wheals, hives), diarrhea, anorexia (loss of appetite), and skin congestion (red skin). Special Instructions To ensure adequate absorption, always administer Program Flavor Tabs immediately after or in conjunction with a normal meal. Be certain the dog consumes the entire tablet or tablets. As an alternative to direct dosing, tablets may mixed in food. Watch the dog closely following dosing to be sure the entire dose has been consumed. If it is not entirely consumed, redose once with the full recommended dose as soon as possible. To ensure that your pet gets the greatest benefit from treatment, administer the tablet or tablets once a month. If you miss the 30-day interval, give Program Flavor Tabs immediately and resume your monthly dosing schedule. PROGRAM Flavor Tabs should be stored at room temperature, between 59° and 86°F (15-30°C).

Description

Flea Free is an All Natural Liquid Supplement, which when added to your pet's drinking water is ingested and goes to work internally. When Flea Free enters the pet's system, it produces an enzyme that shields the protein the female needs to lay eggs. Not able to find what she is looking for, she exits the animal in search of another host to feed on. If she does not draw blood every 20 - 24 hours, she will die. The male does not bite, and having nothing to fertilize leaves the animal also. This breaks the reproductive cycle. Works on all blood feeing insects: fleas, ticks, mites, lice, mosquitoes and biting flies. Flea Free has over 200 vitamins, minerals and enzymes, so it not only gets rid of insects, it also is a superb food supplement that makes the pet healthy, while it conditions the fur and skin. It has been documented that scratching stops, hair grows back and fur becomes full and thick after using Flea Free. The basic ingredients of Flea Free are Vinegar, Garlic, Citrus & Herbs. Flea Free is SAFE for all animals. It is easy to use (1 tablespoon of Flea Free to 1 quart of drinking water. It is healthy and it works. Our Motto - It works or it's FREE. (64 oz.)

Description

Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth (Fossil Shell Flour) has many uses: in the household, with pets, on plants, around livestock, and for stored grain. It is totally organic and listed with OMRI.With more than 600 deposits of diatomite west of the Mississippi-and only four (to our knowledge) that can be considered food grade-it is very important that people know what they are using. The vast majority of diatomite deposits are impure.When diatomite is formed, water currents bring in foreign material that mixes with the microscopic diatom shells. This type of diatomite is absolutely without value for practical purposes, but many people tend to think that if it is "Diatomaceous Earth," then it has the same value as other, purer deposits. There are many places where diatomite deposits can be loaded up "for free," but generally this substance has no value. If this impure diatomite is sold for practical usage, the customer may end up with an unpleasant surprise.Home: Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth as an Organic Pesticide Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is used around the house as an organic pesticide for the control of ants, cockroaches, silverfish, bedbugs, fleas, box elder bugs, scorpions, crickets, ticks, and many other unwelcome pests.Natural ant control is one of the biggest reasons for the usage of Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth in and around the home. For complete ant control, simply sprinkle the area of concern with fossil shell flour (DE). When the ants or other pests come in contact with the powder, it is like stepping on broken glass, they will be killed or abandon the area.Pets: Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth for Flea, Tick, and Lice Control Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is an effective, organic pesticide against fleas, ticks, lice, and other pests that bother our pets.Plants: Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth as a Natural Insecticide Use Perma-Guard Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth as a natural insecticide for the non-chemical control.
