Блохи у собаки.

[Monday13]

lyulik, я наконец добралась до источника, из которого хотела перепечатаь информацию как избавиться от блох. даже если вам это уже и не нужно, может пригодится позже или кому-то другому. это из книги "The Doctor's Book of Home Remedies for Dogs and Cats. Over 1000 Solutions to Your Pet's Problems - From Top Vets, Trainers, Breeders adn Other Animal Experts":
-diatom also known as diatomaceus earth or chinchila dust, these microscopic algae are safe alternatives to insecticides. they absorb a flea's waxy coating, causing it to dry up and die (re: Tanya Drlik, pest management specialist at Bio-Integral Resource Center, a nonprofit group that researches pesticide alternatives, in Berkley, California).
sprinkle the diatomaceus earth on carpeting and upholsted furniture. you can also sweep it into cracks and crevices around baseboard by using a small hand duster. wear a dust mask and goggles so the tiny particles don't drift into your lungs and eyes. work them in with a broom, then vacuum them up a few days later.
diatoms, which are sold in pet stores, are inactivated by water, so they can be used only indoors. be sure to use amorphous diatomaceus earth. the glassified diatomaceus earth used for swimming pools filters isn't effective against fleas and can be harmfulif inhaled.
be sure to vacuum cracks, crevices and baseboards, and spend plenty of time on rugs, says Drlik.
при регулярной чистке с пылесосом, если есть подозрения на блох, прячущихся по углам: -to prevent voracious fleas from emerging from your Hoober, remove thebag, seal securely in plastic and place it in the freezer or in direct sunlight. the extreme temperature -ether cold or heat- will help kill the fleas.
