Getting rid of fleas and ticks from your pet and home can often be very frustrating and costly. Fleas are pests that can cause discomfort and irritation to both pets and their owners and are the main cause of skin problems in dogs and cats. Fleas can also transmit tapeworms and cause anemia or even death. Ticks, which are cousins to spiders, attach themselves to your pet to feed on their blood and can transmit many serious diseases, including Lyme disease. Preventing and eliminating fleas and ticks on your dog or cat and around your home and yard is important for both your and your pet's health and comfort.

The average lifespan of a flea is about 100 days. During this time, a pair a fleas can produce 400 - 500 offspring.

There are several steps to getting rid of fleas and ticks, from the adults to the eggs and larvae. It is important to eliminate the source of the pests from the home and yard as well as getting rid of the ones on your pet. To eliminate fleas and ticks from the home and yard, there are sprays, powders, and foggers. To get rid of the fleas and ticks currently on your dog or cat, there are specially formulated shampoos. The best way to keep your pet healthy is to prevent fleas and ticks from living on your pet. Preventing fleas and ticks is both easy and effective with oral or topical flea medications.

While you can find many brands of over-the-counter flea and tick products in pet supply stores and supermarkets, many of them contain ingredients, organophosphate insecticides (OPs) and carbamates, that could harm your pets and children. You should always consult with your veterinarian before buying or using any flea or tick product on your dog or cat. Many veterinarians recommend and prescribe the newer and safer topical insecticides for dogs and cats, such as imidacloprid (in Advantage and K9 Advantix), fipronil (in Frontline Plus and Frontline Top Spot), and selamectin (in Revolution).
