Fleas & Ticks

Due to Singapore’s hot climate, pet owners in Singapore are likely to have encountered a flea or tick infestation at one point or another. Our pets are constantly at risk of catching these blood-sucking parasites, so it is best to prepare yourself and your pet.

The symptoms of an infestation are most apparent after your pet has been bitten. You’ll notice your pet constantly scratching, with itchy rashes where it was bitten. This can worsen if your pet is flea-allergic.

In more serious cases, the bites can become infected and swollen, which can cause a fever. If the infestation is very severe, they can also cause anaemia. Detecting the infestation in its early stages is difficult, hence, it is better to prevent them early when possible.

Prevention & Treatment

Preventing flea & tick infestations is much easier said than done. Sometimes simply monitoring your pet just isn’t enough, especially if you live in a high-risk area, which is why most pet owners choose to use flea repellents like Frontline & Revolution regularly.

Finding the right anti-flea-and-tick solution for you & your pet can also be pretty confusing and frustrating. It is important to not only kill the adult fleas & ticks, but kill their larvae & eggs as well. This prevents infestations from recurring, and pet owners should note that not all anti flea and tick products can do this.

Tropiclean's new Natural Flea range serves as both prevention and treatment; it targets fleas and ticks throughout their life cycle, whether they're an adult, larvae or egg.

Prevention & Treatment

Before An Infestation

Most pet owners use topical spot-on parasiticides like Frontline & Revolution as a prevention measure. They are quick, highly effective, and only require monthly applications. But! If you prefer using natural products, read on:

WashBar 100% Natural Flea Repellent for Dogs is a great topical prevention solution. As it is 100% natural, is suitable for all ages and breeds, even pregnant and mothering dogs, and especially useful for dogs who are allergic to conventional parasiticides.

Another simple method is to bathe your pet regularly. If you want to be extra careful, you can bathe your pet with natural flea-repelling soap like the Original WashBar Soap. It is gentle on the skin and helps to moisturise and nourish it too!

You can also apply anti-flea sprays and powders on your pet, such as the WashBar 100% Natural Daily Spritzer (Flea and Freshen) for Dogs and Tropiclean Natural Flea & Tick Carpet & Pet Powder.

Cleaning your pet’s environment (bedding, toys, carpet, etc.) frequently should also prevent pests from lurking around.

Before An Infestation

After An Infestation

If your pet has been bitten, your first instinct would be to bathe him immediately. However, it is vital to first wash all beddings, carpets, etc. thoroughly. This is to ensure no fleas or ticks that are hiding will jump onto your pet after you bathe him!

After doing so, you can spray the Tropiclean Natural Flea & Tick Home Spray, or if you prefer, sprinkle Tropiclean Natural Flea & Tick Carpet & Pet Powder all over. These not only kill fleas and ticks but repel them as well.

Bathe your pet with a flea shampoo such as Tropiclean Natural Flea & Tick Maximum Strength Shampoo. After bathing & drying him, you can use spot-on solutions like Frontline Plus, or sprays like Tropiclean Natural Flea & Tick Spray For Dogs & Bedding 16oz to finish off the pests!

Your pet is likely to be itching all over from the bites; to give him some relief and help his skin heal, apply Tropiclean Natural Flea & Tick Bite Relief After Bath Treatment on the flea bites.

Natural Ingredients

Chemical treatments are usually the fastest and most effective, however, some owners may prefer a natural approach as their pets can be allergic to some chemicals. Fortunately there are brands like Tropiclean & WashBar!

Natural anti-flea-&-tick products usually use essential oils that have insecticidal properties, such as neem, clove, lemongrass, peppermint and rosemary oil. Tropiclean uses a blend of oils including clove and lemongrass oil, all of which are highly effective in killing & repelling fleas and ticks. WashBar uses neem oil in their Original Soap Bar & Flea Repellent; it is widely used as it’s safe for both cats and dogs, and can help with skin issues too.

Another effective natural product is diatomaceous earth; it is a soft, white powder formed from fossilised diatom (an ancient type of algae) shells. Tropiclean uses this in their Carpet & Pet Powder.

Not only does it get rid of fleas and ticks, but it eliminates other insects too like ants, cockroaches, bedbugs, silverfish, etc. Best of all, it’s safe for all animals, and you can scatter it around your environment and dust it on your pet. It does not affect the eggs, but will eliminate all adults and larvae.
