Flea treatments on pets: topical treatments expose us to the chemicals every time with pet or snuggle with our fuzzy buddies, and the chemical does get on whatever they are touching: rugs, furniture, bed spreads, .... So, if you do need to treat for fleas (and prevent heartworm} use something the pet can ingest. Yes, there are potential downsides to any pesticide or other chemical, but this keeps it more safe for all involved. Flea collars to the same thing: expose you and your kids and other pets of all kinds to the pesticide. No easy answer to living flea and heartworm free with our fuzzy buddies. Martha Jordan
