Fact:
You can’t relax just because your dog is
free from fleas. Unless you’ve taken the
necessary steps to get rid of the fleas in
your dog’s immediate environment, then he’s
still in the danger zone. If there are still
fleas in the house and yard, then your dog
will be flea-ridden again sooner than you
know it.
Fallacy:
I can rest easy knowing I’ve gotten rid of
most of the fleas.
Fact:
One flea can start an entire infestation by
itself. Keep in mind that fleas reproduce at
an insanely fast pace. If a flea lays 20-50
eggs a day and those eggs hatch within a
week or two, you’ve already got a veritable
army on your hands. If those offspring lay
their own eggs and those eggs hatch as well,
you’re faced with an entire legion, and so
on. Need I continue?When
killing dog fleas, you have to make sure you
get every last one, otherwise risk another
infestation. And using IGRs couldn’t hurt.
Fallacy:
Fleas only prey on my pets.
Fact:
They could also prey on you. All the more
reason to be vigilant and keep your dog and
home flea-free.
As you can see, even the most minor
misconceptions on killing dog fleas can lead
to massive repercussions. So get your facts
straight.
