Flea Control Program
In order to deal with fleas, we need to kill the adult fleas that are feeding on your pet’s blood. We also need to deal with the immature stages of the flea like the flea eggs and the larvae that are in the house and in your yard. During the warm, humid months, this is especially important because this is WAR!!!
These products are proven to work well if used properly.
On Your Pet Have your pet bathed and dipped with insecticides to clear all of the fleas off of the body.
Apply a monthly topical flea control insecticide (harmless to pets, but deadly to fleas)
