Anybody know about Flea collars being flammable ??

Question

have just seen question about flea collars and hoovers,
saying cut up collars are flammable and not to hoover up,
or expose to heat ??? my dogs repose beside an open fire!!!

Answer 1

i've heard they can be bad for animals (i.e. dogs & cats as well as fleas!) health as they are toxic x

eta. just looked it up and found this -

"Flea collars are not recommended as they concentrate potent chemicals around the neck but the chemicals do not disperse over the whole animal and are therefore not effective. There is/was an insect growth regulator collar ("egg collar") that is effective in controlling fleas by preventing the eggs from maturing."

suggesting they don't work anyway so probably best to use a different method anyway!

Answer 2

convinced Hartz Fleas Collar are risky to cats... I gained't overlook my journey with it very last 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, I positioned the collar on my cat faster or later, then next day, i had to eliminate the collar and voila there's a purple warm spot the position my cat has sratched himself to bleed and that i had to take him to the vet for a ideal treatment and could not in any respect purchase any flea collars for any puppy now and contained in the destiny, i will turn my nostril up on any hartz products... i'm paying quite a number of interest to Vet's products, they're better possibility-free and those days I even haven't any issues being on Revolution.
