Ok so you want to know about dog fleas, what they do, how they do it, and what dangers you should look out for if you’re suspecting fleas on your dog or in your home.

Well let me start of by saying there is over 2000 different varieties of flea in the world today, the female version of these small little pests can reproduce at the alarming rate of 50 eggs a day max and an average egg count is normally around 20- 30 a day. Fleas can start to lay eggs as soon as 48 hours after having their first blood meal which makes getting rid of these fleas early on essential.

Around half of the flea population are eggs, 30% larvae, 15% pupae and only around 5% of the population are biting adults. These larvae take anywhere from a week to a month to become biting fleas and as you can see by the stats, the key to stopping your flea problem and letting your dog get a good night sleep again is through getting rid of the eggs.

Fleas can’t reproduce without a blood meal from your dog or another animal but can survive for long periods of time (2 months to a year) in hibernation without a meal but usually they will die off within one week without hibernation.

They key places to look out for fleas are near your dog’s bed or under bushes outside that your pet sleeps or rests. Anywhere your dog lies for long periods of time are key areas for fleas to live.

To check for fleas on your dog you will first have probably noticed your dog being very restless and uncomfortable, so the next step is to search for flea faeces, this will look like small bits of dirt to the human eye and rubbing it between your fingers with some water will bring out the red colour of blood if it is flea faeces.

Once you have found evidence of flea faeces you are now ready to move on to the next big step and get rid of the pests that are making your dog feel so uncomfortable.

So you have discovered evidence that your dog has these annoying little pests they call fleas, and now you have no idea how to get them out of your house and home, this article will talk your through the main ways to get rid of these fleas from your dogs coat and from your home.

Getting rid of fleas is no easy task as many other dog owners will tell you, but the chances are that fleas will happen through either another dog coming to play with yours or just picking them up from playing amongst damp fine gravel or sand where fleas like to live and breed.

So let’s take you through the easiest and best ways to rid of theses pests.

The first step is to take your dog or pet to the vet and have the fleas professionally identified to avoid giving your dog the wrong treatment, and get professional advice on possible new products that are on the market.

After this, the vacuum cleaner should come out. This is a very effective way of getting rid of many of the pupae, larvae or eggs that may be lurking beneath the surface of your carpet. Do this often and it will reduce the number of fleas quickly and easily.

The next step is to use household insecticide to clear your house of any flea related growths that your vacuum cleaner may have missed. Although I do not encourage insecticide and other chemicals near your dog or family this is one case where it is vital for getting rid of fleas. Always read the labels carefully and get a well known or professionally recommended product.

After the initial insecticide process and being careful to reach every possible area and corner you may want to insecticide your garden to ensure full removal of fleas, the garden could be more of a problem than the house, and could be where the flea problem began so be sure to target fine gravel or sandy areas where fleas may be living.

Your dog is the next obvious step and there are hundreds of products perfectly safe for your dog that will rid him/her of the annoying itchiness. Go to your nearest pet shop or vet and they should have sufficient products that will help.

After all this, you may think that the flea problem has gone forever but there may still be pupae that has survived the insecticide due to their protective cocoon, taking the same measurements as noted above two weeks later, should help the full removal of all things flea related and your dog will be able to sleep again.

If the problem persists, please contact your vet or other professional advice.

If you are sure your cat has fleas and ticks, then you need to treat your house:

# Most importantly, if you have just discovered the fleas and ticks on cats, then quarantine your cat to one room. Hopefully you will soon be killing fleas and tick quickly and you will soon see your little kitty cat again.

This must be done(unless too late already)so that all cat fleas and ticks will hopefully stay in one room and you wont have a complete flea infestation.

# Vacuum the whole house to get rid of any fleas and ticks on the floors or furniture. They often like to hide in all kinds of places.

# Make sure to wash and disinfect all your clothes in case any fleas or ticks are hiding inside of them, as they often do. Also, you may want to spray your clothes in case fleas have planted their flea larvae inside.

# Next, shake all rugs, if you have any, and vacuum them as well.

# You can also use a flea and tick control spray to get rid of any fleas and ticks on your cat and house. The flea and tick spray to kill any hidding fleas and ticks.

# Make sure to wash your bedroom and other rooms very well too. Any closets or wardrobes must be thoroughly washed and checked.

How to get rid of fleas and ticks on your cat:

# First of all, wash your cat in an "anti flea bath." This often means you will have to wash your cat in a bathtub with water and flea shampoo.

# Be very careful that the soap and water doesn't go in your cats eyes. Cats naturally hate water and being bathed so most people who don't know how to bath a cat will most likely encounter serious difficulty with this step.

To avoid having problems when bathing a cat, I recommend you to read more on how to bath a cat here: http://twitpwr.com/howtowashyourcat/
Or here: http://catlovingcare.com/

# After drying your little cat with a towl, sitt your cat down between your legs and start the work of combing the ticks out. First tackle one half of its hairs before brushing through to remove the fleas and ticks from the other half. Brush slowly and regularly, trying not to pull out any hairs. If there still are some consistent ticks, then use a pair of pincers to pull them out!

# When pulling ticks out of your cats furr, you must be very careful to avoid leaving the head of the tick inside, as this will cause infections, some of them deadly.

# When pulling out a tick, take a lighter and hold it near her or his fur.
Beware to part his or her fur BEFORE lighting the lighter. When the fire comes near the tick, it will roll up and be easy to remove.
WARNING: Be very CAREFUL when using this method of killing fleas and ticks! Sometimes a better option is to search online for a flea and tick remover for example tick twister.

# Make sure to buy a cat flea and tick control. This is needed to be sure that after your hard work killing fleas and ticks on your cat, the fleas and ticks don't come back again. you can find all kinds of good flea and tick control here: http://squidoo.com/frontline-plus-flea-control-for-cats
Frontline is my personal favorite.

If you get a flea and tick shampoo or treatment online, check the fur every few days to be sure the fleas or ticks are gone. If you do see more fleas or ticks, quarantine your pet, and begin the whole process again.

Hope this will help you quickly start killing fleas and ticks and get rid of fleas and ticks on your pets for good!

Can someone give me some information on the pesticide sevendust?

My mother in law gave me some to kill some ants outside of my home. I thought this was a flea/tick killer. Does anyone have any other info about it? WIll it kill the ants? If not, can you please recommend something that will? Thanks so much!

The active ingredient in Sevin is carbaryl. Sevin is the trade name for the product whereas carbaryl is the chemical name of the ingredient that does the dirty work. Sevin is also used as a flea/ant killer, but under a different name, like First Choice or another name. A really good example is imidacloprid. Imidacloprid kills fleas, ticks, grubs, mole crickets, Japanese beetles, etc. If you have dogs and cats, you know it as Advantage. It is also under the trade names of Premise, Merit, Admire and Marathon. All of these products contain imidaclporid.
The main difference between Advantage, and say, Merit, is the % active ingredient in the product. The amount of imidacloprid in Advantage is a great deal smaller than what is in Merit. This is so pets are kept safe. This is probably way too much information, but sometimes I get carried away.
As far as killing the ants, you should find out what kind they are. Some ants are attracted to sugar, while others are not. Usually an ant bait will work. You can pick these up at a local home improvement store. All you have to do is sprinkle it around the perimeter of your home, and they will pick it up. Also try to find out what they're doing or where they're going. If you remove what it is that is attracting them, they shouldn't be a problem anymore!

Many women at one time or another have said of a fading romantic relationship, "If I could only make him love me again, I would be so happy." It truly would be great if you had that power over him, but in fact nobody does. The heart is a territory unto itself.

While you cannot directly change the feelings he has for you, there are ways to fan the flame of your love. If your relationship has been losing its glow and you fear he may be falling out of love, there is hope. You are a woman who obviously cares enough about your relationship to be reading this. If he does still have feelings for you, you can get him to adore you again.

Here are 4 strategies for getting his love back:

Strategy #1: Surprise him: All men love surprises. Try doing something special for him to let him know you were thinking about him. Your man may need that kind of special reassurance that you still really do care, especially if you have been too busy lately to give him the kind of attention you did when you first got together.

Strategy #2: Show him your own independence: Men do love to be showered with attention, but they are usually turned off by women who seem too clingy. Remember to show him once in a while that you are and always will be a whole person, with or without him. Take a class, learn how to play an instrument, or try something new with your hair. The key here is to do it on your own without running it by him for his approval ahead of time.

Strategy #3: Find out what works: As you have probably noticed, there is now a treasure trove of popular literature available on the psychology of love that explains precisely how men and women think differently. It is just a fact that the sexes are different in certain fundamental ways, and unfortunately none of us is born with innate knowledge about how to deal with the opposite sex: it has to be learned. Do yourself a favor and find out what the experts say about how to please a man and how he can best please you. Educate yourself and you will be much better prepared to know what makes his head - and heart - tick.

Strategy #4: Demand he treat you right: If you are in a situation where your guy is abusive in any way, best leave him right away with no questions asked. You deserve better, I promise you. But, if you are like most women, your man may just fail to treat you right in more subtle ways: not listening, making the occasional disrespectful comment, or not calling first when he is coming home late. If you want your man to adore you again, you first need to earn back his respect. The next time he acts in a discourteous manner, call him on it and let him know you expect to be treated with respect and love and that you will settle for nothing less. No need to corner him or make him feel defensive: just lay down the law with him and see where he stands.

The pathways of the heart are surely difficult terrain to navigate. While you cannot make your man love you if that love is gone, there are proven ways to fan the flame of his love if it has dwindled of late. Do yourself a favor and give your relationship the attention it deserves. Then, whether the relationship is for forever or is doomed to end soon, at least you will know and either way and get on with your life.

Flea Control

Does Advantage flea control really work on dogs?

My dog is allergic to fleas. She is itching and biting herself raw. She can only have one or 2 fleas and she does this. Does Advantage really work?

It certainly does, so does Frontline and Revolution.

You will have to treat your house as well, so get a spray from a vets. Advantage etc will keep your dog treated for fleas, but if you don't also treat your house they will still be about, because most of a flea population lives in the house. If your dog is allergic, it's important to be 100% flea free.

Sentinel for Dogs is an oral heartworm pill using Milbemycin oxime to safely destroy any heartworm larvae your dog has contracted from an infected mosquito bite. In addition Sentinel uses Lufenuron an insect development inhibitor, to destroy flea larvae and eggs.

For dogs that do not regularly encounter new populations of adult fleas this once a month tablet offers an effective flea management system. But, during the first month of using this, as you wait for the adult flea population to die off, many pet owners find it useful to also give Capstar, an oral flea control product that destroys all adult fleas that meet your pet in the 24 hours after treatment.

In addition to destroying larval heartworms, Sentinel for Dogs also controls the adult forms of several intestinal parasites (hookworms, whipworms and roundworms). This means that with one simple tablet you can control three types of pest (heartworms, intestinal worms and fleas). Only needing to buy and use one tablet each month offers dog owners a simple way to save time and money, with one convenient pet medicine.

Sentinel for Dogs has been shown to be extremely safe for all breeds of dogs including puppies. This makes it a good alternative to Heartgard for owners of collie breeds concerned about the collie's sensitivity to Ivermectin. Being particularly mild, Sentinel may be safely used in puppies from four weeks (over 2lbs in weight) and in nursing or pregnant dogs.

This heartworm medicine and flea control pill comes in the form of a beef flavored tasty tablet that most dogs find palatable. No beef is actually included in the formulation (the beef flavor is soya bean and pork derived), making them perfectly safe for dogs allergic to beef.

If you are considering the best way to get rid of fleas on your cat, you've probably considered a number of options...

For example, here are some ways you might have thought of to get rid of your cat's fleas:

• You could try to catch the fleas by hand (Yes, I've done this and it's hard.)
• You can also use a flea and tick shampoo.
• Try a natural topical product or dietary supplement.
• Use a proven topical flea killer such as Bayer Advantage for cats, or Frontline Plus (feline version).

You may be worried about using a chemical flea killer on your cat, but on one product site, 61 our of 64 users of Bayer Advantage for cats gave the product 5 out of 5 stars, and one customer shared that his cat had bad reactions to previous flea killers, but that he did not have a problem with the makeup of Bayer Advantage for cats. The other 3 users gave the product 4 stars.

On the same site, 61 our of 72 users gave Frontline Plus a 5-star review. 6 users gave the product 3 stars or less. The two most negative commenters revealed that they hadn't been able to totally get rid of the fleas using this product and were having fleas spread to them (the people!), too! Yikes! Don't know what happened there... maybe it wasn't used correctly, there were a lot of new fleas reinfecting the pet, or parasites in their area were resistant to the medication. If you have trouble with one flea control method not being effective, you can try another and most likely get better results. If you are using "natural" approaches, you can combine methods, but DO NOT use more than one flea killer chemical product on your pet at one time.

No matter what flea control product you use, it's important to use it following the package instructions (apply every month) and also keep your living quarters and pet's bedding clean to reduce flea breeding habitat.

Also, keep an eye on your pet when you apply any new medication in case there are adverse or allergic reactions.

In my experience, Frontline has been an effective flea control product, but according to product reviews - Bayer Advantage for cats seems to be more uniformly popular for cat owners.

You'll have to make your own choice of what you want to try, and if you have problems with ineffectiveness or adverse health reactions, you can always switch to a new flea medication next month.

Spot Flea

What should you do if you use a flea spot on treatment for dogs on a cat (containing permethrin)?

This substance is very toxic to cats!

Here's an article about it: http://www.aspca.org/site/DocServer/toxbrief_1298.pdf?docID=128
And here's another one: http://www.critterchat.net/permethrin.htm

It can cause seizures in cats! The best thing you can do for your cat is get her to a vet immediately! Even if your cat seems fine, seizures can develop up to 48 hours later. If there is going to be a delay in getting your cat to the vet, I would bathe her immediately in dish soap, and then take her to the vet.
Hope your kitty is fine...

Fleas are pests that threaten the health of your dog or cat and your pocketbook. Preventing flea infestation in your pet is less expensive than treatment, so steps should be taken to prevent this pest from taking over.

Many dogs and cats are allergic to the bite of a flea, and often it takes only one flea bite. The protein in the flea's saliva is what causes the problem. Allergic animals have a reaction, which is referred to as a "hot spot," and will more than likely require a trip to the veterinarian. Fortunately, there are several good products today that will help you control any flea problems.

If you have a flea infestation, there is no single product that is going to correct the whole problem. Not only will your pet require treatment, but so will his entire environment.

Adult fleas live on your animal, but their eggs drop off and into your pet's environment. From there, the eggs go through 4 larval stages before reaching adulthood. They are then able to jump back on the unsuspecting animal. This complete cycle takes between 3 to 4 weeks under ideal conditions. There are, however, environmental products that will kill adult fleas and the larvae.

Here is a look at some of your options for fighting flea problems:

In general, flea collars are not very effective, but there are now flea "egg" collars that will kill the eggs on an animal. Flea dips are the most economical, but they are also very messy. There are some effective flea shampoos and treatments available in pet stores and veterinarians.

There is an oral tablet that is given monthly that sterilizes the female flea, it does not kill it. Therefore, this tablet decreases the flea population in your pet's environment, but is not the only solution to the problem. Those pets that are allergic to flea bites will still be at risk to flea bites.

Another popular pesticide is permethrin, which is applied to the back of your dog or cat in one or two places, depending on his weight. This product works as a repellent, causing the flea to jump off the animal. This product should not be confused with various organophosphates, which are applied to a dog or cat's back.

Some problems should not be used on puppies or kittens. Treatment for these young animals should be done by a veterinarian because it often is necessary to use several products to eliminate a flea problem. The average pet owner does not have the knowledge regarding possible toxins in various pesticides.
