How to kill insects when raising a cat? Tips for shovelers! To kill insects for domestic cats, you can use store-bought pest control products, such as insecticides, insecticide lamps, mosquito coils, etc., or use commonly used pest control measures at home, such as cordyceps, medicinal wine, stinky books, etc.

1. Isolate the cat

Due to the strong toxicity of insecticides, cats will suffer from poisoning, kidney failure, and liver damage when inhaling or licking. Therefore, when the owner is preparing to kill insects, he can first isolate the cat and lock the cat in the balcony, toilet or other room to prevent the cat from inhaling or licking the insecticide.

2. Open the window for ventilation

Before spraying insecticide, the owner needs to open the window for ventilation in advance. After spraying, he also needs to open the window for ventilation for about 6-12 hours before letting the cat enter. Otherwise, the cat enters immediately after spraying, which may also lead to poisoning.

3. Do a good job of disinfection

In order to reduce the chance of cats being infected with parasites and skin diseases, after the owner is ready to kill insects, he also needs to use pet-specific disinfectants to disinfect the cat's living environment and deworm the cat regularly. This can not only effectively prevent some diseases, but also help the cat's healthy growth.
