Decreased Scratching - One of the first signs of a successful flea treatment is a noticeable decrease in your pets' scratching and discomfort - YAY!
Don’t scratch your flea bites. You risk breaking your skin and exposing yourself to infection. If you accidentally break your skin, keep the area clean by washing it with soap and water and covering your flea bites with a bandage. Talk to your healthcare provider if you have an infected flea bite. Let’s not forget about worms. Most gastrointestinal (GI) worms will squirm their way in when your pet accidentally eats worm eggs or larvae (gross, we know. And yes - it does happen!). Once you’ve sprayed, leave the room and give it half an hour before ventilating the area by opening the windows and doors for at least an hour.
Thousands of flea species exist. The most common types in the United States are dog fleas ( Ctenocephalides canis) and cat fleas ( Ctenocephalides felis). Either kind will bite dogs, cats, rabbits, and other furry mammals. If they have access, they may also bite birds.
Although fleas are a year-round problem, summer-time is really when the jolly jumpers go bonkers. Thanks to the perfect combination of temperature and humidity, fleas are living their best lives in summer, with the climate providing ultimate breeding conditions for their lifecycle.
How Long Do Ticks Stay on Pets For?
CSD commonly occurs throughout the world. In moderate climates, more cases occur during the fall and winter seasons. In tropical climates, cases occur throughout the year. Fleas pass on the bacteria _Bartonella _to cats. Fleas can sometimes pass the bacteria to dogs or other animals. Infected cats also pass the bacteria during fights with other cats. Cats — especially kittens — pass the infection to humans through a bite or scratch. Symptoms of CSD include:
First of all, make sure that all doors and windows are closed. There shouldn’t be any pets around when you treat the room. And we’re not just talking dogs and cats - this also applies to birds, reptiles, insects, spiders and aquariums, where possible).Fleas can infest an animal’s entire body. This causes widespread itching and discomfort. If left untreated, your pet may develop skin infections or a rash from constantly breaking their skin while scratching. Top tip: If you think you’ve found flea dirt, run a damp cotton wool pad over it. If the dirt turns red, those fleas aren’t dead. This means you’re dealing with a live infestation.
Aloe vera: Aloe vera is a succulent plant. The gel in its leaves contains salicylic acid, which relieves itching and pain. You can apply aloe gel directly to your flea bite. Any cats and dogs should be treated for fleas and with an animal insecticide recommended by your vet specifically for that purpose. It can be hard to see flea bites on your pet, so you may want to pay attention to whether your pet is scratching. Your pet may also appear to gnaw or bite their own skin. Did you know that just 5 fleas on an untreated kitty can lead to more than 1 million eggs infesting your home in only 4 weeks*? Gulp. But where do fleas come from? Otherwise, to totally rid your home of fleas, you may need to use insecticides inside your home, which typically involves having to leave the house for a time until the spray has dried.Anyone who comes into your home (human and pet alike) can unknowingly carry fleas in with them too. Make sure you test Itch Flea Home Spray on a hidden bit of fabric before spraying upholstered furniture. Use an anti-flea shampoo and powder to get rid of the fleas your dog currently has. Then, consider using a flea collar to prevent fleas from moving in again. Reduced Flea Activity - Over time, you should see fewer live fleas on your pets and in your home. Very satisfying! However, the active ingredients in Itch Flea cause hyperactivity in the dying fleas shortly after treatment, so don't be surprised if you're aware of more flea activity, before it reduces.
