WHY CONTROL FLEAS AND TICKS?
Fleas are not just a nuisance to us and our pets. They also carry intestinal parasites, such as the dog tapeworm, that can be passed on to the animal. A single flea bite can cause flea- allergy dermatitis on sensitive pets, leading to serious skin infections. Ticks carry many diseases that affect both humans and pets. Heavy populations of these blood-sucking pests weaken animals. Older, less vigorous animals suffer more quickly from fleas and ticks. It is important to note that flea and tick problems on one pet can easily transfer to others. Treat all pets in the household as necessary.
