If your pet picks up fleas, don\u2019t bother with expensive chemicals and poisons, let alone needles. There is a much safer and cheaper way to get rid of them.<\/p>\n
Simply get a lice-comb (like the kind that you use when children get lice at school). They are at the drug-store for one or two dollars. Comb the pet thoroughly a couple of times a day with the lice-comb to remove the fleas and their eggs.<\/p>\n
In addition, wash your pet a few times a week (yes, even cats). Get a plastic box like a Rubbermaid storage container. Put it in the tub, fill it with warm, soapy water and soak your pet in it for a few minutes, massaging the (gentle) soap into their fur. Make sure to thoroughly soak them, but of course be careful of their face.<\/p>\n
Finally, thoroughly vacuum all areas that they go to or use (blankets, beds, chairs, holes, etc.) a few times per week to prevent re-infestation.<\/p>\n
To summarize:<\/p>\n
It may seem<\/em> like a lot of work (certainly more than simply spraying them with poison or wrapping poison around their neck or shooting them full of chemicals with a needle), but it\u2019s safer and cheaper and more reliable. Besides, if you stick to it, it does not take long and can be over in as little as two weeks.<\/p>\n If your pet picks up fleas, don\u2019t bother with expensive chemicals and poisons, let alone needles.
