What should I do if my Australian Terrier has fleas? Many parents will encounter this situation. The dogs at home suddenly have fleas for some reason. When I see the dog scratching, I feel a little distressed. What should we do in this situation?

Trick 1:

When combing the fur of cats and dogs with a comb with dense teeth, fleas may get stuck in the teeth of the comb. At this time, do not crush it to death, but stick it to the tape or put it in water dissolved in detergent to kill it. If the flea is crushed to death, the eggs inside the flea will fly out and may be licked into the body by cats and dogs.

Trick two:

Clean your home thoroughly and use a vacuum cleaner to remove any fleas that have slipped through the net or fallen onto the bed. Especially the corners of the room, the edges of the wooden floors, and the lint of carpets and blankets should be cleaned carefully. If it still doesn't clear up enough, hang insecticide boards in the house or put insecticides under carpets and rugs. However, insecticidal boards are not only the nemesis of fleas, but also harmful to humans and cats, so they must be used temporarily as a last resort when fleas are prevalent in the home. Families with children, cats and dogs are better off not using it.

Trick three:

The countermeasure to eliminate fleas is to keep cats and dogs' bodies clean. Shampoos and care solutions specially designed to kill fleas are used to deal with fleas that cannot be cleaned with a comb. When washing, wet it little by little from the beginning so that fleas have no way to escape.

Trick 4:

For cats who don’t like bathing, use flea powder for them. Flea powders for both cats and dogs may contain ingredients that are harmless to dogs but harmful to cats, so use one formulated specifically for cats. Separate the hair behind the ears and on the legs on the abdomen where fleas may be present, insert your hands and sprinkle with flea powder, and then comb them out with a brush. Spread once every 2-3 days, not every day.

Trick Five:

Take 250 grams of fresh citrus peel, cut it into fine pieces with a knife, wrap it in gauze and squeeze out the sour and bitter juice. Dilute the juice with 500 grams of boiling water and mix well. After it cools down, spray it on the cats and dogs, or soak the towels in the citrus diluent and wrap them on the cats and dogs. After one hour, all the fleas on the cats and dogs will be dead. Drop!
