Electronic Flea Collars

Electronic flea collars are a marvelous invention which made their debut in the 1960's.

The really good thing about these is the fact that they use no chemicals.

Batteries are required with electronic collars, some are replaceable and some are not.

The batteries on an electronic collar usually last around 9 months to a year depending on the brand and model. 

These collars work by emitting a high pitched ultra type sound in a frequency very powerful to fleas. 

It does not bother your pet nor humans. 

Congressional wave energy (which repels the fleas) is sent out from the flea collar's transducer.

Often times instead of being built into the collar, an electronic device is attached to the existing collar of your pet, such as along with identification tags. 

They are comfortable, sometimes quite stylish, and affordable in comparison to other flea and tick products of similar duration.

Electronic Flea Collars - Overall

Electronic flea collars are a safe alternative for ones wanting to use a completely chemical free repellant to shoo away fleas.

One problem that might be incurred is the fact that this collar only repels fleas from your pet.

It does not kill them which means they can survive in other areas of your home.

It might not be a problem outdoors, but indoors this can create quite a problem.

A positive note is the fact that you do not have to be concerned with your pet carrying fleas into the house as a host.

Pets will often get fleas from other animals, but with ultrasonic waves you do not have to worry about this either.

Now that you have your pet free of fleas you will want to tackle your pet's environment and make your whole home flea free.

The fact that you are opting for an electronic collar shows that you like to shy away from medications, and other worrisome chemicals.

There is an array of natural ingredient products on the market to help you do this, if you so choose.

Carpet seems to be a main problem in households battling fleas.

Vacuum, vacuum, and vacuum your carpet and rugs on a daily basis.

Vacuuming cannot be stressed enough.

An old trick that really works along with vacuuming is the “Flea and Light” system.

Fleas are attracted to light and they cannot get out of a pool of water once they jump in.

Fleas jump really high and really quick.

Fill baking pans with water, shallow bowls, or anything else that has a depth of at least a half inch.

You only need one or two per room.

After filling the containers with water, float a “Tea Light” candle in the middle of the water.

The fleas will jump towards the light and become trapped in the water, as mentioned earlier.

Then you just flush them, pour them out the door, or down the drain.

Fleas are so minute that you do not have to be concerned with them clogging anything up.

It is amazing how this along with vacuuming will rid your house of fleas.

Of course you will want to do this after your children are in bed, or when they are at school, if you have children.

Keep an eye on inquisitive pets also.

Two or three burnings of a solitary tea candle will most likely get rid of your fleas. 

You will see a lot of fleas in the water at first, and then you won't see any when you have accomplished the mission.

Some pet owners add liquid dish soap but it really is not necessary, either way is fine.

Electronic flea collars are an excellent technology and tool in helping to keep your household and your pet free of fleas.
