Disinfest People and Pets
To remove fleas from people:
- Bathe the person twice a day with soap and water. Insecticidal shampoos are available but are not necessary - regular soap kills fleas just as well.
- After each bath, use a special flea comb (Available at most pet stores and pharmacies) to remove any remaining fleas from their hair.
To remove fleas from pets:
- Bathe the animal with soap and water. Insecticidal shampoos are available but are not necessary - be very careful when selecting one if you choose to go this route, they contain poisons that can easily harm your pet just as quickly as they can harm the fleas.
- After the bath, comb out all of your animals hair with a special flea comb (Available at most pharmacies and pet stores) to remove any remaining fleas and eggs.
- Comb your pet once or twice daily, re-bathing again if neccesary.
