( Quick Kill )
A bath and dip are the most effective and fastest mothods
SHAMPOO (puppies)
Most flea shampoos recommend leaving them on about 15 minutes for best kill. There is NO residual kill from shampoo; once it is rinced off, it no longer kills fleas.
DIP ( Paramite )
The dip is a stroger chemical solution. Apply it to a clean pet and leave it on. DO NOT rinse off the dip. DO NOT reapply dip more often than once every two weeks. DO NOT use flea collars, sprays, ect. for five days after dipping. DO NOT use dip on sick, old, or pregnant pets.
