Fleas and flea control for cats and dogs - www.fleafree.co.uk
Description
Few parasites are as difficult to control as fleas. Traditionally, many people have tried to tackle them with products that deal with the fleas they see on their pet, such as spot-ons, collars, sprays, powders and shampoos.
This approach is utterly flawed by the fact that so few fleas actually live on the pet at any one time. The triangle in the picture below shows the problem. Only the adult fleas at the top of the triangle live on the animal. But they lay huge numbers of eggs, which promptly fall off the pet. So the rest of that triangle is living all around your home!
You'd think the answer would be to treat the house with a spray or fogger. But even these methods aren't reliable, largely because fleas spend much of their lives protected from insecticides within a cocoon.
