Welcome to Florida, where year after year fleas and tics torment you and your pet. Know your opponent.
Ticks become bloated as they feed, fade to pale gray, and can triple in size.
Clean your quarters. Begin with a thorough cleaning, which will eliminate most of the eggs and adult fleas lurking in your home. Wash all pet bedding in hot, soapy water. Mop hard floors. Seal the vacuum cleaner bag immediately in a plastic bag.
