When looking for a good product for treating premises, you should pay attention to a special spray. Products in this category are popular due to their high efficiency and ease of application. Today there is a wide range of products including Raptor, Bars and other flea products.
Sprays for getting rid of pets from fleas: their features and specificity of use
Sprays for animals are highly effective and safe to use. When properly handled, the flea spray does not penetrate the bloodstream or gastrointestinal tract and therefore does not cause intoxication. In this case, the fleas themselves die from the insecticide or leave the animal within a few minutes.
Usually, a flea spray for cats and dogs is applied to the animal's fur for half an hour to an hour, after which the pet should be bathed. Specialized sprays for rabbits or birds are not available, but cat or dog products are quite suitable for them.
The spray for your pet should be chosen based on its age and weight. For example, flea spray for puppies contains less concentrated and more delicate insecticides, which greatly reduces the risk of poisoning the animal. On the other hand, flea spray for cats can be used to get rid of parasites in small dogs.
When treating an animal with a flea spray, it is necessary to spray the entire body with the drug, straightening the animal's fur under the stream so that the agent gets on the skin. The pet's head is not processed to avoid contact with the eyes and mouth.
After that, it is advisable to walk with the animal or to occupy it with something, so that it does not have the opportunity to lick or wash. After some time, indicated in the instructions for a specific drug, the product must be washed off with running water, sometimes shampoo is required for this.
As a rule, you do not need to reapply the flea spray - the parasites leave the animal's body after the first treatment. The experience of users who have already tried different means allows us to select the most effective from the variety of drugs existing today.

Why fleas and ticks are dangerous for dogs
Let's see why fleas and ticks are dangerous for dogs. Fleas spray saliva into the dog's skin when it is bitten. Absolutely all dogs have an allergy to flea saliva, which is manifested by dermatitis, hair loss, eczema.
In addition, massive infestation can lead to anemia, especially in puppies. The main danger of fleas is that they are intermediate carriers of flat worms (tapeworms) that can parasitize on a pet for years and even kill it.
Ticks are usually divided into:

- Microscopic - ear mite.
- Subcutaneous - demodectic mange, scabies.

The agent is low-toxic: a dog can swallow up to 640 mg per kilogram of its weight, and a cat can swallow up to 320 mg per kg of body weight with no visible side effects. Sometimes, when using Front Line, there is profuse salivation, which is a normal reaction to the alcohol contained in the preparation.
Frontline flea spray can be used to treat an animal's head, which is not always possible with other drugs.

- If the procedure is carried out indoors, there must be good ventilation (it is advisable to open windows and vents).
- Cages with birds are removed from the room, aquariums with fish are covered.
The first way
Animal spray aerosols are applied directly to the torso, paws and head, if this is permissible according to the instructions.

Indoor flea sprays
Indoor sprays are significantly more toxic than animal sprays (due to the higher concentration of insecticides and the generally less balanced composition).

Get and the rules for its application
Perhaps Get can be considered one of the optimal sprays for treating an apartment from fleas. This tool has several important advantages:
- High efficiency and duration of residual action: the drug acts as it gets into the respiratory tract of insects, and simply sticks to their body when moving. At the same time, the Get effect will retain its effect until it is washed off the surface.
- Safety - the product does not cause poisoning in humans and animals, it is practically devoid of side effects.
- Almost complete absence of odor (concentrate may have a faint smell of oranges).
It is not surprising that it is Get that is chosen for the treatment of fleas from the premises most often, even despite the relatively high price - about 750 rubles per 100 ml bottle. A properly diluted bottle is enough to process 100 sq. m. area. Nevertheless, in relation to an ordinary apartment, the cost of processing the premises turns out to be comparable to that for the Executioner.
