Treating Your Pets And Home
THE MOST IMPORTANT RULES FOR FLEA CONTROL:
All pets in the household must be treated for fleas. We recommend FRONTLINE PLUS
as a topical treatment for a minimum of 3 months to control a flea out break. Monthly
application is recommended for flea prevention from spring until the heavy frost.
To monitor the progress of your flea treatment, simply place a white sheet over your
pet's resting place. You can then monitor the amount of flea dirt (black specs that
turn red when wet) on the sheet. Decreasing amounts of flea dirt indicate effective
treatment. Another way to monitor is to use a flea comb to record how many fleas are
caught each day.
Treating Your House:
Vacuum the floors frequently and thuroughly paying attention to the corners, along
the walls edges, under the furniture, and other low traffic areas. If you have
a vacuum with a bag, CHANGE the bag after every use. If you have a bag-less
vacuum, empty the container after every use. Flea egs and pupae can live in the
bag and canister. Also, you will need to discard or frequently wash your pet's
bedding. Steam clean the carpets, if possible, to slow down flea development and
allow flea larvae to dry up. Use "Vet-Kem Area Treatment Spray" to treat the carpet
and your pet's bedding after everything has been cleaned
