Fleas and ticks often live on your pet and ultimately on you, however not by choice I’m sure.  What’s the down side to all this?  Let’s start with fleas.  Fleas can cause medical problems such as flea allergy dermatitis, tapeworms and secondary skin irritations.  Flea season comes when it warms up.  The spring and summer months are when the fleas kick into high gear.  The good news is the cooler weather slows or completely interrupts the flea’s life cycle. The University of California performed a study that showed vacuuming got rid of 96 percent of adult fleas.  After you vacuum be sure to get rid of the vacuum bag or completely empty a bagless vacuum.  Remember, vacuuming doesn’t kill the fleas it just moves them from one place to another.
