Fleas Death Washing Machine: Do Fleas And Ticks Die In The Washing Machine?
Are you kidding me? Washing machine to get rid of ticks and fleas?
This may be your first thought reading the headline.
And that seems to be so easy a solution to a long time problem.
But if you read on, you will realize that it can work if you follow the proper instructions for it.
How about answering these questions first:
Do your fur babies sleep in your bed?
Do they hang out on your couch and furniture?
Do you regularly spoil them with hugs and cuddles?
If yes, chances are you’ve also made contact with—or even gotten some of—their ticks and fleas on your hair, skin, and clothes. Maybe some have even relocated and established a home on your bed and beddings. Oh no!
Those who have tried killing ticks and fleas—and you have to admit you have attempted at least once—know just how notoriously hard they are to kill. Getting them off your pet and throwing them away just don’t work. Not only can they can survive outside their hosts, they can also multiply rapidly.
So what to do about those that have found their way to your clothes, sheets, curtains, etc.? Will regular washing get rid of them? Yes it can!
Two things work against ticks and fleas in the washing machine: first, the tumbling and spinning action; and second and the one that does the major work: the heat. If ticks and fleas still miraculously survive these first two, don’t worry! There’s still the water and detergent.
For best results, wash with warm water, and dry at the highest heat setting.
But obviously, you cannot and you should not wash your dog. So while the washing machine can help protect you and your family, you need a separate and effective strategy for your precious canine.
Since you can’t fully screen who your dog comes into contact with and sanitize the places he/she spends time in, give him/her instead the best defense so you can rest assured that he/she will be protected. A chewable anti-tick and flea tablet like Simparica that stays effective up to a month will give your fur baby protection, and you, peace of mind.
