Bed Bug Insecticide

If you reason an infestation or an immanent infestation of fleas or other insects in your home, you should do something about it right away. The first thing to do is chain the dog up in the orchad and clean up the house. Put your bedding and any loose covers, like cushion or chair covers, in a boil wash. Then get out the vacuum cleaner, put a large shake of flea powder into the bag and vacuum the whole house - even the chairs and the curtains.

Then take a large can of insecticide containing 0.5% permethrin and spray every fabric that you can see. This will kill all insects and will keep your house bug free for about six months. Beware if you have fish or cats as permethrin will kill them too, although it is completely safe for humans and dogs.

So, now you can turn your concentration to Fido. Fleas are by far the most base problem, but some places where there are deer, may have a lot of ticks too. If you dog has ticks, make sure that you keep your grass short. Ticks like long grass.

Fleas and ticks often yield an allergic reaction in dogs which drives them mad. They bite and scratch themselves until their hair falls out and their skin bleeds.

If you dog has a health like this, you should bathe him with a medicated shampoo, dust him with flea powder, put a flea collar on him and rub a slight oil on his raw skin. If he still will not leave it alone, you may have to get him a ruff for a few days until his skin heals over. For maintenance, a regular bath and a dusting should be sufficient.

Worms are an additional one horrible thought. Dream having worms living inside you. I know that we do all have parasites within us, but they are supposed to be there. I am talking about the ones that are not supposed to be in there like: tape worms, round worms, hook worms and whip worms. A bad hook infection can even render your dog anaemic.

Hook worm larvae can enter through the skin, so when you are washing or brushing him, be on the look out for what looks like small cuts. Often the dogs stools will be runny and tinged with blood. These are serious pests and have to be treated immediately.

The other worms are less risky and all puppies have round worms. Round worms and pieces of dead tape worm in the stools are a sign of infection. A pot belly in a puppy is also a call to action. Worms are not difficult to treat and you should worm your dog every six months with a tablet. Not all of these worming tablets are suitable for puppies though..
