By using a decent prescription flea treatment your dogs and cats will be
safe. Frontline for instance offers protection against ticks as does
stronghold.
If you don't have a filthy habit like smoking, you won't have a lighted

gag
to hand. In any case I doubt I would get close to any of my animals with

a
stinking glowing fag end to be able to burn the thing off. I would give

the
thing a squirt of frontline. But since my pets already have the

protection
of frontline or stronghold it wouldn't be necessary.


Of course if you didn't pander to the flea ridden, fun loving
predators in the first place, we wouldn't need to broadcast such
unecessary chemical compounds into the environment. ;-)

My dogs are neither flea ridden (because I use decent flea treatments) nor
predatory.
