Best Flea And Tick Prevention Tips

Wash Their Bedding Regularly

Although your pet may seem healthy, domestic animals carry bacterial, fungal, and parasitic disease-causing organisms. Wash their bedding regularly. Inside your home, fleas can hide in bedding, clothing, and towels for up to twelve months with no host. To kill fleas, eggs, and larvae, always wash everything with hot water. Be sure to also wash pillows and drapery, as fleas can also hide there. Before washing your pet’s bed soak it thoroughly in hot, soapy water for a minimum of fifteen minutes. It is advisable to wash your pet's bedding once per week or every two weeks. Consider the time your pet spends outdoors, the types of allergies they have, their activity level, and how much they shed. This will help you determine how often washing their bedding is best.
