    Flea And Mosquito Control

    What do fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes have in common. They all have the fetish for blood. Mosquitoes aren't just the concern of humans. Dogs find them as annoying as humans do. Unfortunately, there are other things that our four-legged pets have to contend with. It is sad that we can't just eliminate the fleas and ticks with mosquito coils or those high-frequency-sounding devices. Plus, there are the bug zappers that we can't possibly use as flea and mosquito control unless we want to electrocute our dogs as well.

    Getting to know our adversaries will most likely help us find the flea and mosquito control that works best. Some facts about these pests are:

    * There are about 2,000 flea species and subspecies; Ticks have about 825, while mosquitoes have over 2,500.
    * Fleas don't have wings but have bodies that allow them to run on the skin between the hairs; Ticks have claw-like mouths that make them cling to their hosts; Only female mosquitoes bite and suck blood from their victims.
    * Fleas can cause anemia, dermatitis, and tapeworm in your pets; Ticks can transmit Lyme disease to pets and humans; Mosquitoes carry deadly diseases like the West Nile Virus which affect both humans and animals.
    * Fleas can lay up to a 50 eggs per day; Some Ticks species can lay some 100 eggs at a time, while Mosquitoes can have up to 300 eggs.
    * The most favorable temperature for flea larvae is from 65-80 degrees Fahrenheit; Ticks thrive in woody, bushy and grassy areas, while Mosquitoes can propagate in still waters.

    There are a lot of flea and mosquito control available everywhere. You can even browse your different options online. www.dog.com will give you a long list of alternatives that will best answer your needs.

    Another website dedicated to helping people take care of their pets by offering a wide variety of flea and mosquito control products is www.zodiacpet.com. Their Zodiac Spot On product is said to provide the most intensive defense against fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes. It has a double action formula containing an adulticide (meant to get rid of adult fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes) and the Insect Growth Regulator (to kill the eggs before they hatch).

    The Bayer Advantix for dogs is a popular brand of flea and mosquito control product. The Advantix can kill 98.3% of mosquitoes, 98.5% of ticks, and are the best way to kill fleas. This flea and mosquito product also destroys the flea eggs before they are hatched. The Advantix for dogs come in different package colors according to your dog's weight. Surely, a single flea and mosquito control product eliminates the hassle of using different repellents on your pet.
