Flea Control



Adult fleas are a big nuisance to people, pets, and can cause serious medical problems including:

  • Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD)
  • Secondary Skin Irritations
  • Tapeworms
  • Anemia (in extreme cases)

In more extreme cases:

* Fleas can transmit bubonic plague. * Fleas from the oriental rat can transmit endemic typhus fever.

You don’t want fleas! If you have ever had an infestation of them you’ll do whatever it takes to get rid of them or make sure it does not happen again. There are many chemical controls that include chemical sprays and spray bombs with the surrounding possible chemical side affects to humans or pets. There are natural safe alternatives including one flea control described below.
