Well if you’ve read my previous post about fleas then you have no doubt taken it upon yourself to protect your dog from those nasty little devils; and if you haven’t then you’re probably one of those ignorant people who think that their pet doesn’t ever get fleas; here’s a little tip for you if you’re one of those, wake up and realise that all dogs carry fleas if they’re not treated, it’s part of life…
So if you’ve been clever and you’ve got rid of the fleas on your dog you now need to turn to your home. What? i hear you ask. Yes, i said you need to turn to your home.
It’s bad at anytime of year but this is especially bad in the summer when it’s really hot, the doors are open all day, the dog is in and out and laying at the side of the room in the shade trying to get cool. When your dog rolls over at the edge of the room the fleas that have been brought in by it will nest in the carpet, right near the wall where it’s warmest. You might think that they won’t because your dog has been treated, but all this happened before you did that.
What you need to do is constantly move your furniture when you hoover and make sure that you get right to the edge of the carpet and suck up all those nasty little eggs. The edges of the carpet often get left and this is where the fleas love it. In the winter they’re here too simply because the radiator is on and it’s nice and warm again for them.
