holoi pepeiao ʻīlio

Hiki ke pilikia loa i ka nahu ʻana i nā ʻupena, a i kekahi mau hihia, hiki i ka pōʻino. ʻO nā makika, nā nalo ʻeleʻele, nā ʻupena huna a me nā nalo deer - aia lākou a pau ma Maine, hiki iā lākou ke waiho i kahi hōʻailona ma kou ʻili a me kou noʻonoʻo.
ʻAʻohe mea ʻino aʻe ma mua o ka ʻōpū ʻīlio i uhi ʻia i nā nalo ʻeleʻele, a i ʻole ka ʻīlio e nahu ana i ka lewa e hoʻāʻo nei e hoʻopau i nā makika ʻino.
ʻOiai hiki i ka hulu o ka ʻīlio ke pale i ka hapa nui o kona kino mai ka nahu ʻana o ka nui o nā nalo, ma kekahi mau wahi, e like me ka ʻōpū, ka umauma, nā pepeiao, a me ka maka, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka nahu me ka liʻiliʻi o ka lauoho. Eia kekahi, hiki i kekahi mau nalo, e like me nā lele deer, ke loaʻa i ko lākou ʻili ma o ka nui o ka hulu a me nā ʻīlio pester me ka pau ʻole.
No ke kaua ʻana i nā nahu nahu, hoʻohana ka poʻe i nā kemika a me nā mea kūlohelohe e hana ai i nā ʻano mea hoʻomakeʻe. Akā ʻaʻole palekana ka nui o kēia mau mea hoʻomake i nā ʻīlio.
Hiki i nā ʻīlio ke palu iā lākou iho, ʻo ia hoʻi, e ʻai lākou i kekahi mea ma ko lākou hulu. Eia kekahi, hiki i kekahi mau mea i hoʻohana ʻia i loko o nā mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe inika—ʻo kekahi mau ʻaila koʻikoʻi—hiki ke hoʻomake i nā ʻīlio ma o ka ʻili.
"I nā kau nui, hiki i [kekahi mau aila] ke hoʻoulu i ka ʻawaʻawa koʻikoʻi, no laila pono ʻoe e makaʻala loa," wahi a Kauka Ai Takeuchi, he mea lapaʻau ma Dedham Lucerne Veterinary Hospital. “ʻO ka aila lāʻau kī he ʻaila i hoʻohana ʻia e nā poʻe he nui i ka nui. Hiki iā ia ke hoʻoulu i ka maʻi maʻi maʻi i nā ʻīlio a me ka hemahema o ka ate.
Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ka aila lāʻau kī ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe kino. Hoʻohana pū nā kānaka ia mea e mālama i nā pilikia ʻili. No laila he maʻalahi ke ʻike i ka manaʻo o ka poʻe he mea ʻole ia i nā ʻīlio.
"ʻO ka mea kūlohelohe a i ʻole i manaʻo ʻia he non-chemical ʻaʻole like ia me ka palekana," wahi a Kauka David Cloutier, he mea lapaʻau ma ka Veazie Veterinary Clinic ma Veazie. "Makeʻala loa au i nā mea a pau aʻu e kau ai ma ka ʻili o ka ʻīlio."
Wahi a kekahi moʻolelo helpline meaʻai holoholona pipi i kākau ʻia e Jo Marshall, he loea ʻike ʻike holoholona holoholona, ​​​​nā ʻaila koʻikoʻi ʻē aʻe i mea ʻawaʻawa i nā ʻīlio a hoʻopilikia i ka hapa nui o ka ʻaila peppermint, ka aila wintergreen, a me ka aila pine. Eia kekahi, e like me ka ʻatikala i paʻi ʻia e ka American Kennel Club, ʻaila kinamona, ʻaila citrus, ʻaila peppermint, ʻaila birch momona, a me ka ylang ylang he mea ʻawaʻawa i nā ʻīlio i nā kau kiʻekiʻe.
E hoʻomanaʻo, mamao loa kēia mai kahi papa inoa piha. ʻO ia ke kumu he mea nui e nīnau i kāu kauka lapaʻau ma mua o ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi huahana i hoʻolālā ʻia no nā poʻe me kāu ʻīlio.
"Ua mālama au i hoʻokahi a ʻelua paha maʻi, a ua hana ka mea nona i kāna hui ponoʻī me nā ʻaila koʻikoʻi a pīpī ʻia ma luna o ka ʻīlio, akā ua paʻa loa," wahi a Takeuchi. “Eia naʻe, ua hala kekahi ʻīlio. Pono ʻoe e makaʻala loa. ʻAʻole wau manaʻo e hana ʻoe iā ʻoe iho no ka mea ʻaʻole ʻoe ʻike i ka mea palekana.
Manaʻo pinepine ka poʻe Veterinarians i nā lāʻau lapaʻau e pale aku i nā ʻauʻau, ticks, a me nā nahu nahu e like me ka lālani pale mua. Loaʻa i kēia mau lāʻau lapaʻau wai nā kemika synthetic, e like me ka permethrin, kahi pānaʻi palekana no nā ʻīlio i loko o kahi pae kaumaha. Hoʻohana mau ʻia kēia mau lāʻau lapaʻau i ke kua o ke poʻo a me ke kua o luna o ka ʻīlio, kahi hiki ʻole ke palu ʻia. ʻAʻole palekana kēia mau lapaʻau no nā pōpoki.
"Heluhelu mau wau i nā ʻōlelo aʻo no [ka lāʻau topical] a e hōʻoia i ka nui kūpono iaʻu no ka mea aia nā ʻano paona like ʻole," wahi a Clautier. "A aia kahi ʻokoʻa loa ma waena o nā huahana ʻīlio a me nā pōpoki. ʻAʻole hiki i nā pōpoki ke wehe i ka permethrin.
Manaʻo ʻo Takeuchi i kahi lāʻau lapaʻau i kapa ʻia ʻo Vectra 3D. Kapa ʻia kēia lāʻau lapaʻau he lapaʻau ʻauʻau, akā maikaʻi nō hoʻi ia e kūʻē i ka makika, ka ʻaʻa, a me nā nahu nahu. Eia nō naʻe, hiki iā ʻoe ke hana pū me kāu kauka holoholona e kiʻi i nā hōʻailona a lākou e ʻōlelo ai.
"ʻO ka pilikia wale nō ka hoʻohana waho. Inā ʻauʻau kāu ʻīlio, hiki iā ia ke hoʻoheheʻe iā ia ma mua o ka hopena o ka mahina, "wahi a Takeuchi.
Ma waho aʻe a i ʻole ma ke ʻano he mea ʻē aʻe i nā lāʻau lapaʻau, aia kekahi mau mea hoʻoponopono kūlohelohe i hana kūikawā ʻia no nā ʻīlio.
Manaʻo ʻo Takeuchi i ka hoʻohana ʻana o VetriScience mosquito repellent spray a me ka holoi ʻana. Hana ʻia lākou i nā aila pono a palekana ka nui no nā ʻīlio, wahi a Takeuchi. ʻO ka ʻaila koʻikoʻi kiʻekiʻe i kēia mau huahana ʻo ia ka aila lemongrass, ʻo ia ka helu no 3-4% wale nō o ka mea hoʻomaʻamaʻa insect. ʻO ke kinamona, ka sesame a me ka ʻaila castor kekahi i ka papa inoa.
Eia kekahi, hana kūikawā ʻia ka Skeeter Skidaddler Furry Friend insect repellent i hana ʻia ma Maine no nā ʻīlio. ʻO nā mea hoʻohui he kinamona, eucalyptus, lemongrass a me ka ʻaila sunflower.
ʻO ka mea hope akā ʻaʻole ka mea liʻiliʻi, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i ka permethrin spray a i ʻole DEET (ʻelua mau mea hoʻohana pinepine ʻia e pale aku i nā nalo) no ka mālama ʻana i nā lole ʻīlio (e like me ka bandana, ka lole ʻīlio a i ʻole ke kāʻei). E hōʻoia e hāʻawi i ka manawa kūpono e maloʻo ai kēia mau kemika. ʻO ka manaʻo, ʻaʻole ia e hoʻopā i ka ʻili o kāu ʻīlio.
Inā ʻaʻole ʻoluʻolu ʻoe i ka lawelawe ʻana i kou ʻaʻahu, hāʻawi ʻo Dog Not Gone in Maine i nā ʻaʻahu ʻīlio hoʻopaʻi pepeke a me nā poʻo i hana ʻia me No FlyZone mea, i hana kūikawā ʻia e hoʻohui i ka permethrin me nā lole lole. Eia kekahi, hoʻohana pū ka Insect Shield i kahi kaʻina hana kūikawā no ka hana ʻana i nā ʻaʻahu ʻīlio a me nā poʻo poʻo i mālama mua ʻia me ka permethrin.
ʻO kēia ʻano pale - ʻo ka mālama ʻana i nā lole me nā mea kemika - ʻo ia wale nō ke ala e hoʻōki ai i nā lele ʻoi aku ka ikaika, e like me nā lele deer a me nā lele lio, e ʻike ʻia ma hope o ke kau ma Maine.
Kuhi pinepine ʻia nā nahu lele hope ʻo ka nahu tick. ʻO kēia no ka mea maʻamau ka nahu ʻana o ka nahu ʻeleʻele i nā ʻōpala pōʻai i nā ʻīlio. Ua like ke ano o keia hoailona me ka huhu o ka pipi i nahuia e ka dia a loaa i ka ma'i Lyme.
"Ma ka 99% o nā hihia, he nahu lele ʻeleʻele," wahi a Takeuchi. "Loaʻa iā mākou nā leka uila a me nā kelepona e pili ana i kēia i kēlā me kēia lā. Aia kekahi mau mea weliweli e hiki ai ke hōʻeha i kāu holoholona e like me kēia, e like me ka lāʻau make ʻiole, no laila ke ʻōlelo mau nei mākou iā lākou e kiʻi iā mākou. .”
"ʻOi aku ka ʻulaʻula o ke kala o ka ʻeha ma mua o ka ʻulaʻula, a ʻoi aku paha ka nui e like me ke dime," wahi a Cloutier. “Hiki pinepine ia ma nā wahi huluhulu liʻiliʻi o ke kino. No laila, inā kaʻa ka ʻīlio a ʻānai i kona ʻōpū, a ʻike ʻoe iā lākou, ua nahu ʻia e ka lele ʻeleʻele.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Cloutier, ʻoiai nahu ka makika i nā ʻīlio, ʻaʻole lākou e waiho i kahi pōʻino. ʻAʻole hoʻopilikia ka ʻīlio i kā lākou nahu ʻana e like me ka hana ʻana i nā kānaka. ʻO kēlā me kēia hihia, manaʻo wau ua ʻae mākou a pau ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ʻaʻole e ʻai ʻia kāu ʻīlio ma waho. No laila, e hoʻāʻo kākou i kekahi o kēia mau ʻenehana deworming.
E haʻi mai iaʻu i ka mea i kūpono iā ʻoe ma nā manaʻo ma lalo nei. Inā ua poina iaʻu i kekahi mea, e ʻoluʻolu e kaʻana like! ʻO ka maʻamau, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻatikala i ka poʻe heluhelu e like me ka ʻike aʻu e hoʻomaikaʻi ai no kaʻu pou.
