FLEA CONTROL MADE SIMPLE AND SAFE
The following recommendations are intended to prevent or eliminate fleas without the need to spray insecticides around your house and yard. This simple protocol is intended to minimize your family's and your pet's exposure to insecticides.
1. Give PROGRAM¨ a flea hormone orally to all your pets once a month all year. This product sterilizes adult fleas. It insures that flea eggs are not slowly building up in your home environment even before the peak flea season starts. It is a flea hormone, not an insecticide.
2. Use ADVANTAGE¨ or FRONTLINE¨ for 2 months on all of your pets if you have an outbreak of fleas. If you are starting with a heavy flea infestation you should use these products for three months (start Program¨ also). If all the pets have been on Program¨ for three or more months, and you are just seeing a few fleas, then try using these insecticides for only one month.
These newer insecticides (frontline¨ and advantage¨) are extremely effective in killing adult fleas and are much safer than the ones we had to choose from several years ago. They work by floating on the outside of your pet's skin.
Our philosophy is not to expose people to any chemicals when there are other alternatives which are safe for your pets.
