That's why we recommend having a complete pest management system that focuses not only on your dog, but also on your dog's environment and surroundings.<\/p>\n<h3>Pest Management On Pet<\/h3>\n<p>Protecting your dog is the first step in the fight against fleas, ticks and mosquitoes.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend products that protect against adult and pre-adult pests. Preventing a future infestation is just as important. Hartz recommends <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hartz.com\/en-ca\/our-brands\/ultraguard-ca\/\">Hartz\u00ae UltraGuard Pro\u00ae or Hartz\u00ae UltraGuard Plus\u00ae<\/a> once a month topical drop treatments or collars because these products have active ingredients focused on breaking the life stages of fleas and ticks. Unlike competing products such as Frontline Plus or Pet Armor, <a href=\"\/product\/hartz-ultraguard-pro-flea-tick-drops-dogs-puppies-61-150lb\/\">Hartz\u00ae UltraGuard Pro\u00ae topical drops<\/a> also kills mosquitoes, which are known to transmit heartworm disease.<\/p>\n<p>If your dog already has fleas and ticks, Hartz recommends the use of <a href=\"\/product\/hartz-ultraguard-plus-flea-tick-dog-shampoo-deep-conditioning\/\">Hartz\u00ae UltraGuard Plus\u00ae shampoos<\/a>, <a href=\"\/product\/hartz-ultraguard-plus-flea-tick-spray-for-dogs\/\">Hartz\u00ae UltraGuard Plus\u00ae dog sprays<\/a>, or <a href=\"\/product\/hartz-ultraguard-plus-flea-tick-carpet-powder\/\">Hartz\u00ae UltraGuard\u00ae powders<\/a> to bring immediate relief to your dog before using the topical drops or collars.<\/p>\n<h3>Pest Management In Home<\/h3>\n<p>The critical second step in a complete pest management system is treating your home.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_34479\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34479\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-34479\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/pest-management-system-1.jpg\" alt=\"Pest Management System - Woman sprays Hartz Ultraguard Flea &amp; Tick Spray on carpet, while dog lies on couch.\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-34479\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hartz\u00ae UltraGuard Plus\u00ae Home Sprays can be used throughout your house if you are facing infestation.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Unlike ticks and mosquitoes that only breed outdoors, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hartz.com\/en-ca\/flea-facts\/\">fleas<\/a> thrive indoors. Female fleas start producing eggs 24 to 48 hours after taking their first blood meal and can lay up to 50 eggs per day. These eggs are laid on your dog, and easily fall off onto bedding, carpets, furniture and everything else your dog comes in contact with. The places where your dog rests and sleeps become primary habitats for eggs and developing fleas.<\/p>\n<p>To help on the home front, we offer in home products, such as Hartz\u00ae UltraGuard Plus\u00ae Carpet Powders and Hartz\u00ae UltraGuard Plus\u00ae Home Sprays that can be used throughout your house. If you are facing a wide spread infestation, it is recommended.<\/p>\n<h3>Pest Management In Yard<\/h3>\n<p>The final step in a complete pest management system is taking care of your yard where fleas, ticks and mosquitoes can be prevalent.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hartz.com\/en-ca\/tick-facts\/\">Ticks<\/a> find their hosts by climbing on grass, shrubs and other outposts. They simply wait for your dog to walk by and grab on. To fully protect your dog be sure to use products such as Hartz\u00ae UltraGuard\u00ae Yard Spray to eliminate multiple types of pests outside your home.<\/p>\n    <!-- Two columns block -->\n    <div class=\"two-columns\">\n\t\t    <!-- Left column block -->\n    <div class=\"left-column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shortcode product-item\">\n\t\t<div class=\"picture\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hartz.com\/product\/hartz-ultraguard-pro-flea-tick-drops-dogs-puppies-61-150lb\/\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"160\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hartz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3270010878-Hartz-UltraGuard-Pro-Flea-Tick-Drops-Dogs-Puppies-61-150lb-front-100x160.jpg\" class=\"attachment-product-shortcode size-product-shortcode wp-post-image\" alt=\"Hartz\u00ae UltraGuard Pro\u00ae Flea and Tick Drops for Dogs and Puppies 61-150lb\" \/>\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\tHartz\u00ae UltraGuard Pro\u00ae Flea and Tick Drops for Dogs and Puppies 61-150lb\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"cta\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hartz.com\/product\/hartz-ultraguard-pro-flea-tick-drops-dogs-puppies-61-150lb\/\">View Product<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- Right column block -->\n    <div class=\"right-column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shortcode product-item\">\n\t\t<div class=\"picture\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"cta\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\">View Product<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\t    <\/div>\n\t\n<script language='javascript' type='text\/javascript'>function getWR360PopupSkin(){return 'light_clean';}<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every time you take your dog out for a walk, to the dog park, or even for a romp in your back yard, your dog is a walking target for disease carrying fleas, ticks and mosquitoes.
