Fleas - are they unstoppable?

Hello Bomydog and welcome to myLot! Fleas are fearsome enemies for every dog owner. They somehow became immune to the chemicals we use against them. I saw fleas on my dog after two weeks since we applied the pipette. I never used Advantage, it can't be found on the local market but I use Frontline and Advantix successively. I suggest you to change the bedding for your dog's den frequently and to vacuum not only the carpet but the sofa cushions and every corner of the house, as fleas usually hide in there. (I haven't known the tip with the flea collar inside the vacuum bag, thank you for this one, I'll try to remember for the flea season this year.) For the fleas hiding in the back yard, you should keep the grass cut short and spray it weekly with some chemicals against fleas. You can also plant Marigolds or Mint, both are plants that repel fleas.

hi bomydog.. "super fleas" eh..? i hope it has no super powers! haha.. *just kidding!* we have 2 4yrs. old terrier-chao mix breeds..we had that same problem when my dad was hospitalized for about 3 or 4 months(in & out)! our dogs were neglected because everyone in the family were busy..after my father passed away, when we went back home, fleas and ticks were everywhere..it even crossed our neighbors house(good thing they never sued us)! my mom started thinking of solutions on how to get rid of the pests..she even opted giving away the dogs..'til we went to a pet shop and ask for a remedy..the vet recommended "frontline spray"(generic name:FIPRONIL) it's a bit expensive but my mom was determined to try it..Thank God, the fleas and ticks are gone..it's so effective! try it on your dog..

No fleas are not unstoppable. They just seem that way. Bombs and sprays are good. Also keep a simple flea collar on your dog helps along with powders.

Luckily for my three pets who are yard dogs, I still haven't seen or noticed any fleas in their bodies. I see them scratch though but I still have to see these fleas. As I am a busy person I could seldom give them regular baths, but feeding of course, that's three times a day. I heard that a dog that is often bathed is more susceptible to getting fleas because bathing makes their skin soft and easier for fleas to inhabit.

I hope you could terminate this pests before the whole family could affect you. Exposure to it could be the cause of scabbies and other skin illness. If you could not do it with your own, maybe try to contact a pest controller specialists.

I have heard of Flea's but I haven't had any so far but from what I hear flea's can become a serious problem. I ran into a lot of people that said that they had wars with Flea's in there house. I hope you get them Flea's out some kind of way.
