Flea treatment refers to any method or product used to control, repel or eliminate fleas from an animal or environment. Flea treatments can be administered through various methods such as topical applications, oral medications, sprays, powders and collars. The goal of these treatments is to prevent infestation by killing adult fleas, inhibiting their development into adults, and disrupting their life cycle. Flea treatment is important for the health and well-being of both animals and humans as fleas can cause irritation, skin inflammation, and transmit diseases such as bubonic plague or murine typhus.
