To keep fleas off, you can cover up with permethrin treated gear.
Permethrin has been registered with the Environmental Protection Agency since 1977 and is used in products for children and pets.
Insect Shield clothing and gear are proven to repel bites from mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, and flies among other bugs.
Permethrin works by affecting the nervous system of insects when they land on fibers containing the product, preventing insects from biting.
Insect Shield clothing keeps its effectiveness for up to 70 washings.
You can also use an insect repellent with DEET.
Ice packs, aloe vera, and tea tree oil are home remedies to soothe itching.
Use permethrin-treated dog clothes and accessories for added protection against fleas.
Wear long pants if you are walking outdoors where fleas are common.
