If you like pets, flea control is something you will have to decide on sooner or later. Once they enter your home, fleas don’t restrict themselves to pets and enjoy feasting on human blood as readily as on their canine friends. Finding small red welts on your skin is as unpleasant as it is dangerous. Since fleas inject their saliva in the body of their hosts while drawing blood, they easily transfer various diseases to those they feed upon some of which can be fatal if left untreated.

An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. Instead of putting off taking a decision on flea control until the little buggers practically take over your house, you should take steps to prevent them from entering your home. Fortunately, use of various Hartz flea Control products such as Hartz Flea & Tick shampoo, Hartz Flea Drops, Hartz Fleas & Ticks Carpet Powder and Hartz Flea & Tick Collar can prevent fleas from bothering you and your pet.
