b)
Sprays
If foggers are bombs, then that
would make sprays rifles. Like
foggers, sprays can kill every
flea they hit. Unlike foggers,
though, sprays only cover a
small area at a time, ensuring
it’ll take a while (and a lot of
cans) before you’re through.
The upside with sprays is that
they pride themselves on
accuracy rather than efficiency,
making them a great supplement
to foggers.
Take note that there are foggers
and sprays that are only capable
of killing dog fleas without
acting as IGRs. There are,
however, those that can do both,
so it’s best to keep an eye out
for them.
c)
Powders
Powders work as either
adulticides or IGRs. They are
usually sprinkled on areas that
are suspected to have fleas, and
act as acid rain or land mines
that are sure to have negative
effects on all those they come
in contact with, be it fleas,
pets, or humans.
When using any of these chemical
arms, it’s essential to follow
the instructions and heed the
warnings written on the labels.
These chemicals can lead to
health problems during and even
after usage, so keep your
distance from treated areas
until it’s 100% safe. Always
clean up areas after treatment.
Step
Three: Playing it safe.
Now that you’ve rid your pet and
your home of fleas, you have to
make sure those that remain are
in no condition to stage a
comeback. Even after all that,
there’s still a chance there are
a few fleas left somewhere in
your house or yard just waiting
to latch onto ol’ Spot and feast
before multiplying and
repopulating your pet and home.
