Your dog or cat may not be eager to cooperate, but a good way to quickly get rid of small numbers of fleas and ticks on your pet is to roll a lint roller over their fur. You can get a lint roller relatively inexpensively at almost any department store or dry cleaner. Not only will it get rid of the pests, it’ll pick up most of their eggs, and it’ll pull off any loose fur that might otherwise stick to your furniture and clothes.

Once you’ve completed your treatment, it’s a snap to peel off the used layer. Be sure to put it into a sealed plastic or paper bag and dispose of it somewhere other than your home. The local health department may be able to recommend a good disposal location; otherwise, you can take it to the local dump.
