Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Brush your pet after any outdoor outing or after they spend time outside. Find the appropriate brush for your pet’s type of coat.
Step2
Use flea/tick treatments or medications to prevent and kill fleas and ticks on your pet. There are effective treatments that are recommended by veterinarians and applied to your pet in one spot, once a month--or there are various natural remedies if you prefer.
Step3
Cut or mow tall brush and grass where your pet plays.
Step4
Do daily tick checks on your pet, yourself and the rest of your family.
Step5
Use sharp, pointed tweezers to remove any ticks that you find, then apply antiseptic to the affected area.
Step6
Vacuum your house and wash your pet’s bedding regularly to remove flea eggs and larvae.
