Get Rid of Dog Fleas Once and For All

To get rid of dog fleas it is necessary that you first treat
your home. Begin by thoroughly scouring the areas where your dog
sleeps and relaxes. Be sure to wash all bedding in your home,
including your dog’s, and place it in a hot dryer. You should
then vacuum every surface possible, including, furniture, rugs,
carpets, and drapes. If possible, it is also strongly
recommended that you wax all applicable floors. This will
increase your chances of killing any stray fleas, as well as
their eggs.

If you don’t have the time, or your own efforts prove not to be
effective, you can also hire an exterminator to get rid of dog
fleas in your home. You will probably need two sessions to fully
eradicate the fleas, one in the spring and the other in the
summer. If you live in a warm and humid climate, you may want to
consider monthly treatments.

Once you have finished treating your home, you should focus on
treating your dog. The most effective way to get rid of fleas on
your dog is to use an insecticide dip. You should repeat the
flea dip twice per month until your dog is free of these blood
sucking parasites. For further treatment, use a spray on short
haired dogs or a powder on long haired dogs in between dips.
