Fleas

Anyone dealt with them? Got a policy regarding them?

On an unrelated note, how do I search just the School Nurses board for a topic? I like to look and see if anyone has asked a question before I submit one but I don't have time to search through a million results when I put a topic in the the search box. Ugh.

I have nothing on fleas but I usually type in whatever I'm looking for, plus the word school and that usually causes a thread to come up if one is there

I don't worry about fleas at school. On my dogs, yes.

There should be an integrated pest management plan in place if the issue is fleas in school. If someone has fleas on them you should call your local PH nurse for guidance.

Right? I just got the flea situation under control with my pets after almost 2 years of struggle!! K-9 and Feline Advantage is the bomb! Worked where everything else failed! My pets are quite happy!

Fleas don't generally live on kids!
