depends where you live, what type of coat your dogs have and where your dogs plays..Outdoor area in Florida tick and/or fleas are year round. Some months are better than other but overall you should always check... Remember to wash their sleeping area too!

Take your canine to a vet for flea therapy. purely a vet might have the right potential flea medicine.

Vacuum each and every little bit of carpeting and upholstered furniture. prepare the srpay to any area rugs which contain bathing room rugs. Mop your kitchen and bathing room floor with very, rather heat water and strong disinfectant. positioned decrease priced $ keep flea collars interior the bag of your vacuum cleanser. Sounds unusual, even with the undeniable fact that it rather works. positioned flea powder into cracks and crevices. you need to use a Raid Flea Bomb, even with the undeniable fact that that's bothersome and messy. call an exterminator and then have your carpets wiped sparkling if all else fails. do no longer scratch the bites. once you spot a flea on you ankle or leg, touch it with sparkling nail polish. it is going to kill the flea.

No, they never stop but tick season slows up during the fall and winter. And flea season slows down in the winter because it is cold.

Fleas will die at the 1st frost of the season. If you live in an area that does not have a frost, then they will live all year.

It depends on where you live. Here in the north, we get winters where you don't have to worry about your pet getting them from the ground and such. So we don't treat with Frontline in the winter cold months.
But in the warmer states, I assume it's a year round issue as the climate is nice enuf to sustain them.
