Flea Combs

A flea comb is a good pesticide-free method of removing fleas from your dog or cat. Your pet's first line of defense against fleas is a flea comb and a good bath. Though time consuming, combing helps reduce the need for insecticides. A flea comb works by catching the fleas in the very narrow gaps between the teeth or forcing them to jump off. Flea combs can be used as an important part of an overall flea prevention program.

Use a flea comb outside, and keep a container of soapy water nearby for drowning the fleas, or comb your pet in a bathtub where you can rinse the fleas down the drain. Start by running the comb gently through your pet's coat. After each run through, dunk the comb in the water and leave any fur caught in the comb in the water. The soapy water will kill the fleas. Continue this procedure until the entire pet has been combed, making sure to comb their underside. A flea comb can be used every day when fleas are bad, and can help prevent fleas entering the house if used before the pet comes inside.
