Can you get adulticide and microfilaricide to treat heartworms in your dog yourself?
No, these are prescription drugs and the adulticide must be given by a veterinarian.
What affect does Kinoprene have on Hypoaspis miles?
Probably none Kinoprene is an IGR labelled for very few pests only-none of which are these mites to sterilize insects when used in conjunction w/adulticide. Look into biologicals, there are some new ones supposed to be very effective from what i've been reading.
How can you make sure your cat that is allergic to fleas will never get them?
The best way to prevent flea allergic dermatitis (FAD) is to keep up with monthly flea treatments using a decent veterinary licensed product (e.g. Stronghold [selamectin], frontline [fipronil], advantage [imidacloprid] etc). It is recommended to use adulticide treatments (ones that kill adult fleas) as it is the adults which are causing the allergy. If you have any other pets it is recommended that you treat these regularly too as this will prevent spreading fleas from animal to animal or introducing them into your house. If your animal has had fleas recently you should also treat the house with a licensed product (e.g. indorex) to kill any eggs and larvae which are present in the carpets and soft furnishings. It may take multiple treatments to get on top of the issue so don't give up half way through! It will often take 3-4 months to fully eradicate fleas as the pupal stage can remain hidden in carpets for many weeks to months. Using a vacuum cleaner prior to the house treatment could encourage pupal stages to 'hatch out' which will make the spray more effective.
Does salt kill fleas in your carpet?
It does but there are areas of concern it does not address and a better way with carpets would be to use an aerosol like Precor2000 or an adulticide (concentrate) you mix yourself and spray every inch until damp like a pro does although it would take a couple hours to dry out. Getting all that salt out of your carpet and living with it till you get results would probably not be desirable. The aerosol method has its advantages, you can easily treat soft furniture, the droplets are optimum size for deep penetration in your carpet and it contains a growth regulator in the mix- although it is not cheap.
How do maggots kill sheep?
Maggots are the larval version of flies, a class of insect with two wings and six legs. They are extremely hardy and survive by eating necrotic (dead) tissue. To kill the maggots you will need a veterinarian's assistance, most likely with surgery involved. The maggots themselves can be cleaned out with some warm salt water and a pair of tweezers, but the dead tissue left behind also needs to be carefully removed to allow the dog to heal.

How do I get rid of fleas in my house?
== == * Borax, a powder detergent you can find in any grocery store, works well. Sprinkle it in your carpets and floors, leave for the better part of a day and then vacuum. It's messy, but it kills fleas. == == * Call an exterminator for the fleas in the house, get a pet collar for your dog/cat and spray the yard regularly. == == * An exterminator told me that fleas like corners of a room or near the base boards, so either get that Borax in there or call an exterminator. In Canada we have "Program" which is a little capsule that you put on the skin of a dog and cat's skin. Go to the vet and know the weight of your pet and they will give you the proper dose. Then take the capsule and snip the top off and push back the hair in between the shoulder blades of the dog or cat and there is no need to rub it in. You have to do this once a month for as long as the flea season lasts and if you are not sure how long that is you can always check by phoning your vet at no cost. The old saying, "Where there is a cat there are fleas." So, ALL pets must be treated at the same time with Program. I have two dogs and a cat and this is what I use. Works like a charm. Even people that go out on their own grass to mow the lawn or if kids are playing outside can bring the fleas into the house. If you have an extremely bad infestation of flea problems then it's important to get the exterminator up, and this will require you to put house plants outside, any pets (including birds) in a kennel or at a friends house and you must be out of the house. It usually is just for a few hours. When you come home clean all counter tops with a bleach/water solution, and wash your kitchen floors. Often the exterminator will use environmentally safe products to rid you home of fleas. Discuss this with the exterminator. Program kills the fleas and their eggs and once the exterminator is finished even spiders won't want to inhabit your home. That's great because I hate spiders! LOL == == * I had one cat when I lived in Texas and fleas. I put some Diazinon in my vacuum bag, vacuumed thoroughly and then changed the bag--put the ones with fleas into the garbage with a top. You can buy some flea spray for under beds and other places that has flea birth control. You have to notice their gestational cycle, but it tells you how. There were no further problems. == == * Sprinkle regular table salt over carpets and in furniture, leave for three to five days. It may be messy and uncomfortable for a few days but it works like a charm and it's cheap (large box of salt is under fifty cents). It'll vacuum right up, no bad smells or harmful pesticides. * Spray Bayer flea spray on the floors and furniture and it should kill them.
