Use “1-2-3” approach to treat fleas, ticks
Dr. Charles Silcox, of AMGUARD, suggests a “1-2-3” approach for flea and tick control. This includes:
- Treating the pet – there are many flea and tick prevention products available that can be safely applied to pets, such as topical treatments and chewable tablets.
- Treating the home – fleas and ticks can lay eggs and hide in furniture, carpets, and bedding. Using insecticides to treat the home, along with regular vacuuming and washing of pet bedding, can help keep these pests under control.
- Treating the yard – outdoor flea and tick prevention products can be sprayed on lawns, shrubs, and other areas where pets spend time outside. This helps to reduce the number of fleas and ticks that can attach to pets while they are playing outside.
By taking a comprehensive approach to flea and tick control, PMPs can more effectively help their customers manage and prevent flea and tick infestations.
In Conclusion
Dr. Charles Silcox recommends a “1-2-3” approach to flea and tick control, which involves treating both the pet and the environment they live in. When used together, this comprehensive approach can help prevent and manage flea and tick infestations.
