82. Healthy Pet | Miscellaneous Pet Care: How Can I Safely Use Flea Control Products The eradication of fleas from our animals and our homes necessitates the use of products containing insecticides, either in the form of a mousses, spotons http://www.healthypet.com/FAQ/animal_care-15.html

Miscellaneous Pet Care: How can I safely use flea control products for my pets? Back to FAQ Menu Answer Fleas can be a major problem for pet owners. Not only are these tiny creatures a nuisance, they are also the cause of many diseases such as flea anemia, flea bite dermatitis, and tapeworm infestation. Therefore, strict flea control is a necessary step in the health care of many pets. The eradication of fleas from our animals and our homes necessitates the use of products containing insecticides, either in the form of a mousses, spot-ons, oral suspensions, powders or spray mists. While there are many safe insecticide products available for use on pets, caution still must be observed. Pet owners should be extremely careful when using flea products on or around their animals. Products should ALWAYS be used strictly according to their label directions. There are several new products on the market that are only available from your veterinarian. Call your veterinarian to find out more. The following are some guidelines for dog and cat owners to follow when choosing and applying a flea control product: Never use insecticides on very young animals, pregnant or nursing pets, debilitated or elderly animals without consulting your veterinarian. With such pets, you may want to consider avoiding the use of insecticides directly on your pet. Instead, you could comb the fleas off the pet with a flea comb then submerge the captured fleas in a small container of soapy water. This would also be a good alternative for those pets who love being groomed but who violently refuse baths or the application of a spray.

Agricultural Fleas Darryl P. Sanders Department of Entomology, University of Missouri-Columbia Fleas are pests of humans and domestic animals all over the world. Worldwide, more than 2,200 species of fleas exist, but only about 30 species are found in Missouri. Fortunately, humans encounter only a few of these species. The most common in Missouri is the cat flea ( Ctenocephalides felis ). The homeowner may also occasionally encounter the dog flea, the human flea and the oriental rat flea. The few others found in the state are encountered even less often. Fleas are medically important because of their irritating bites, abundance, worldwide distribution and ability to transmit diseases. Flea bites Different people have differing reactions to flea bites. Some people are either immune to the bites, unattractive to fleas, or both. Others seem to be highly attractive to fleas. In a flea-infested household, one or two individuals may show severe irritation from the bites, while others may not even realize fleas are present. Fleas prefer the blood of pets. Thus, people may coexist with the pet and the pet's flea population while being bitten only occasionally. When the pet is removed from the environment, such as during a family vacation, a large population of hungry adult fleas may accumulate. When hungry, adults tend to lose their one-track desire for the pet's blood and will then attack any warm-blooded animal, humans included.

FS-01016 Revised 1991 To Order Fleas Mark E. Ascerno and Jeffrey D. Hahn Fleas are small, brown, wingless insects about the size of a common pinhead. Adult fleas take blood from various kinds of mammals and birds but spend considerable time off the host. Their bodies are compact with flattened sides, permitting them to move rapidly among the hairs of the animal on which they are parasites. Their legs are well developed for rapid locomotion. Fleas are capable of jumping considerable distances; up to thirteen inches horizontally. Because they are minute and their bodies are hard, it is almost impossible to kill fleas by crushing them between the fingers. How to Recognize Flea Bites Different people have differing reactions to flea bites. Some people are immune to the bites, are unattractive to fleas, or both. Others are highly sensitive and attractive to fleas. In a flea-infested household, one or two individuals may be aware of and show severe irritation from bites. Other members of the family may not realize that fleas are present. Women and prepubescent children seem to be most attractive to fleas. Flea bites can be diagnosed by their occurrence in clusters, particularly in areas where clothing fits tightly on the body (e.g., the waistband). Flea bites are most common on the legs, particularly around the ankles, but on small children the bites are likely to occur anywhere. One rarely feels a flea bite. After a few moments or hours, though, a hard, red, itchy spot may appear surrounding the puncture where the flea fed. This reaction may persist for 5 to 7 days, depending on the sensitivity of the individual.

Indoor Biting Insects Questions: Minnesota Master Gardeners Say: Spider bites are extremely rare in Minnesota, and some professionals say that they've never even been able to prove even one case of spiders biting humans. Some of the possibilities of insects that bite indoors are fleas, bedbugs, and mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are quite good at finding small holes in screens, and even though you might not see them biting, they could still be the culprits. Check any possible holes in screens or screen doors for even small holes that could let in mosquitoes. Fleas can cause swollen, red bumps on just about any part of the human body, but they most commonly attack us on the legs. Some people react more than others to flea bites. You don't have to have a pet to have fleasthe previous renters could have had one, or the fleas could be brought in on shoes and clothing. One good test for fleas is simply to walk across a carpeted floor while wearing white socks. The dark-colored fleas will stand out against the white of the sock as they jump onto the socks. If you have fleas, it's best to start with flea collars on your pets, or bring them to the veterinarian for medication that will help kill any fleas that jump on them. Additionally, you'll need to take an integrated approach to managing these pests, eliminating them everywhere they live in your house.

@import url("/common/screen.css"); DermNet NZ Ad Authoritative facts about the skin from the New Zealand Dermatological Society Home For patients For doctors ... Site map Search: Home Arthropods Papular Urticaria Papular urticaria most commonly affects children but adults may also be affected. Crops of very itchy red bumps, 0.2 - 2 cm in diameter, appear every few days. Sometimes each spot develops a fluid-filled blister up to one centimetre in diameter. They are most often on the legs and other uncovered areas such as forearms and face but sometimes they are scattered in small groups all over the body. It is difficult not to scratch the spots, which become crusted and may get infected - they are then pussy and sore. Sometimes one new spot provokes all the old ones to come up again and itch intensely. The spots seem to remain for a few days to a few weeks and can leave persistent marks or scars, especially if they have been scratched deeply. Papular urticaria is more common in spring and autumn. It may clear up on holiday or on moving house. One or several members of the family may be affected. Occasionally the eruption can clear up for years and then recur unexpectedly. It is not associated with any internal complaint and is never a serious disease. Papular urticaria is thought to be an allergic reaction to insects in the environment. Often after a few years the person becomes desensitized to these insects and the reaction dies down. A bite isn't usually noticed and it is thought that the reaction can occur simply from skin contact with parts of the insect such as its faeces and eggs - this accounts for spots in unexpected places. The most common identified causes are insects that live on cats and dogs, such as fleas and mites.

General Flea Information Fleas are small, brown or black, wingless insects with flattened bodies. Several types of fleas infest the haircoats of animals, and some may occasionally feed on people. These blood-sucking insects cause considerable irritation and distress to infested pets. Severe infestations may lead to anemia from blood loss. Fleas spread the common dog and cat tapeworm, and carry several viral and bacterial diseases. Flea bites also cause skin allergies, rashes and sores on both pets and their owners. The best places to look for fleas on your pet are the hindquarters, base of the tail, stomach and groin regions. Sometimes no fleas are found but only tiny, black granules that resemble black pepper. This material is flea feces and consists of digested blood ("flea dirt"). To distinguish this material from dirt, smudge it on white paper or add a drop of water to it. If you see a reddish-brown color, your pet has fleas, even if you can find none. After taking a blood meal, fleas drop off the animal and deposit their eggs in cracks, crevices and carpeting. A single breeding pair of fleas may produce 20,000 fleas in 3 months.

FLEAS AND YOUR PET FLEAS AND YOUR PET Fleas will also bite people if pets are not available. They are extremely active and can rapidly infest your home. Fleas are small reddish brown insects. They leave behind flea "dirt" (digested blood) which looks and feels like pepper. There are many flea products available at this time. Products that work well in one area may not be as effective in another area. This is due to the resistance the fleas may have to a particular chemical compound. If the fleas in your area seem resistant to a product you are currently using, we recommend you change to another product. This is the reason we have a variety of flea control products available, which we will strategically rotate during the season as the need arises. CONTROLLING FLEAS ON YOUR PET If you find evidence of fleas on your pet a flea bath may be in order. Before bathing your pet, place some cotton in each ear, and protect its eyes with a veterinary ophthalmic ointment. Use a medicated flea shampoo. Follow the instructions on the label carefully. Allow the lather to soak for at least 5 minutes for maximum effect. There are several new breakthrough products available to you through your veterinarian. Depending on your area and the weather conditions, we recommend the use of these environmentally safe WARNING!!!!!

Home Links Glossary Factfiles ... Gallery index FLEAS Life cycle of a flea INTRODUCTION TO FLEAS Fleas are blood sucking insects belonging to the order Siphonaptera. Fleas are thought to be closely related to Diptera(True Flies) . Although ectoparasites the wings of fleas have been lost during their evolution but it has been suggested that muscles that may have been used for flight are now used to power the well developed rear legs. The rear legs arise from the metathorax and this area is well developed as a consequence of this. In contrast to Anoplura fleas are flattened laterally allowing them to travel quickly through host hair. Morphological adaptations other than lateral flattening include recessed antennae-long antennae would only serve to obstruct a fleas passage- and backward pointing setae, these anchor the flea against surrounding hairs if attempts are made to remove them. Many species of flea have a particular arrangement of setae on the thorax which are called combs. Fleas lack compound eyes but do posses ocelli on either side of the head, although some species do lack even these, eg Leptopsylla segnis -the house mouse flea. Sexes can be distinguished by the presence of complex copulatory apparatus on males. These apparatus are situated to the rear and ventrally and in addition to males having a pronounced curvature of the ventral surface opposed to a flat surface in females these features serve to sex fleas.

A Copesan Pest Solutions Partner McCloud Pest Facts: Facts About Fleas General Information: There are over 1,000 types of fleas in the world. The most common flea you will encounter attacking people and a pet is the cat flea. Appearance: Fleas are small, wingless insects, which are dark in color and have strong legs that enable them to swiftly jump long distances. People often first become aware of flea infestations due to itching and annoying flea bites rather than usually spotting the pest. Bites most commonly occur in the ankles and may consist of 2-3 bites in a row. Dogs that are being attacked by fleas may suddenly stop and scratch excessively or bite affected areas. In severe cases, the dog may experience hair loss or skin infections. Flea Development: Fleas go through three stages before they become adults (egg, larva, and pupa). It can take from 30 days to one year to complete this cycle. The immature stages are most commonly found in areas where the host animal rests and visits frequently. Although eggs are laid on the animal, they fall off and land on surfaces like carpets, furniture, pet bedding, etc. Larvae emerge from the eggs and feed on organic debris and adult flea feces in the carpet or other surfaces. The adult flea is the only stage routinely found on the animal. Adult fleas will live 7-10 days. The average female flea will lay 150 eggs in that time span.

Richardson, DVM, Veterinary Poison Information Specialist, ASPCA/National Animal Poison Control Center for The Daily Cat Send this article to a friend Fleas can be a major problem for cat owners. Not only are these tiny creatures a nuisance, they are also the cause of many diseases such as flea anemia, flea bite dermatitis and tapeworm infection. Therefore, strict flea control is necessary for the good health of every cat. Eradicating fleas from our animals and our homes (and you must do both) requires the use of insecticides (mousses, spot-ons, oral suspensions, powders or spray mists), but a new generation of products are much safer than the old poisons we used to use. Still, while there are many safe insecticide products available for use on cats, caution must be used, because cats are generally more sensitive to most insecticides. Cat owners should be extremely careful when using flea products on or around their cats. Products should be used strictly according to their label directions. Here are some guidelines for cat owners to follow when choosing and applying a flea control product: Never use insecticides on very young kittens, pregnant queens, debilitated or elderly cats without consulting your veterinarian. With such cats, it may be better to avoid some insecticides entirely. Instead, you could comb the fleas off the cat with a flea comb, then submerge the fleas in a small container of soapy water. This would also be a good alternative for cats who love being groomed but who violently refuse baths or the application of a spray.

Their bodies are compressed from side to side enabling them to move quickly through hairs and they have relatively large hind limbs which are used for jumping. The 3 most common species are: - Distribution All fleas live exclusively as parasites on warm-blooded animals and although they have a preferred host, normally mammals, both the cat and dog flea can also be found on and feed from other animals and man. As well as being found on the host fleas can frequently be found in the hosts' bedding. Cat fleas are by far the most common accounting for 75% of all flea infestations. The flea population reaches its peak in September and is particular problem in areas of high population density. Significance Fleas are known carriers of disease and can also be responsible for the transmission of parasitic worms such as the dog tapeworm. In the UK, however, fleas are not generally responsible for the spread of infection but do inflict on their host unpleasant bites. Flea bites will be seen as a tiny dark red spot surrounded by a reddened area. The bite will remain irritating for 1 or 2 days and in some cases may lead to hypersensitivity.

Campbell, Extension Entomologist, David L. Keith, Entomologist Previous Category Catalog Order Info Fleas ... Flies Pets, like all animals, are subject to attack by certain insects. Sanitation around the area where pets are kept, cleanliness of the pets, good care and nutrition all help reduce the chance of a serious problem. Fleas Various species of fleas are the most common insects on pets, and may increase to high numbers in areas where pets are kept. Fleas spread throughout homes, animal quarters and yards. They attack pets, livestock, birds, and people. The dog flea, Ctenocephalides canis , the cat flea, C. felis , and sticktight flea, Echidnophaga gallinacea , the human flea, Pulex irritans , and other species may be found on pets. Most species are quite active and move through the hair rapidly when disturbed. The sticktight flea attaches permanently in less hairy areas, as around the eyes or ears. Description and Life Cycle: Fleas are about one-eighth inch long with a compressed body (narrowed laterally). They have no wings. Most are brown with legs well developed for jumping. The head is compressed (usually longer than high), rounded in front, and appears to be divided in two parts.
