Most fleas live in the environment, not on your pet (only 5 % live on your pet), so there a number of things you can do to reduce
flea numbers in your environment as well as using a monthly preventative.
Just something as simple as regular vacuuming is a good way to
keep flea numbers down a herbal flea powder in the vacuum bag is a good idea to kill the fleas.
By preventing fleas from reproducing, a population of animals could be made flea - free, or at least have greatly
reduced flea numbers.
Having insight in the flea life cycle allows us to understand why it has always been important to treat both the host pet as well as the indoor and outdoor environments in order to successfully
control flea numbers.
Over time,
flea numbers in home environments get reduced by 99 % when pets are treated with imidacloprid.
This can be managed by keeping
your flea numbers down.
Fleas have become resistant to many products and with the explosion in
flea numbers, there are huge efforts aimed at controlling them.
