What to do if your pet has fleas at home

If your home pet has fleas, here are some common ways to deal with your flea problem:

1. Pet treatment: First make sure your pet is treated for fleas. Use pet control products for fleas, including flea collars, drops, sprays, detergents or oral medications. Consult your veterinarian for the right flea control product for your pet and the correct usage.

2. Clean your pet’s environment: Fleas not only live on your pet, but they can also breed in your home environment. Cleaning your pet's environment is crucial. Thoroughly clean your pet's bed, mats, blankets, toys, etc., and kill fleas and their eggs by washing or drying them. Vacuum furniture, carpets and floors frequently, including hidden nooks and crannies in your home, to reduce flea breeding environments.

3. The long cycle of flea control: Pay attention to the life cycle of fleas. Fleas usually have a long cycle, and it takes several weeks to go from egg to adult flea. Therefore, for long-standing flea problems, you may need to continue cleaning and control measures for several weeks to ensure complete eradication.

4. Consider using a household insecticide: Under the guidance of a veterinarian or professional exterminator, consider using a household insecticide specifically designed to control fleas. Choose products that are non-toxic or harmless to pets and humans, and use them correctly according to the instructions.

5. Regular inspections and prevention: Keep your pets hygienic and check them regularly for fleas. To prevent re-infestations, consider using anti-flea products regularly, such as flea collars or drops.

If the flea problem is severe or cannot be effectively controlled, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian or professional pet control service for more professional guidance and solutions.
