Question: What can we do to eliminate fleas on our pets? They’re coming indoors, too.

Answer: Spray the lawn, ground covers, low shrubs and the sides of your house with a conventional yard insecticide. Treat the inside of your house with one of the aerosol bombs that are labeled to kill both the immature forms and the adults. Your veterinarian has products that can be put on the pet’s back to kill the fleas within its coat. All of these treatments should be made at the same time, to keep the fleas from migrating from one place to another.
