Presented is an elastically resilient collar for application to a pet, such as a cat or dog, for the control of fleas and other insect pests that might infest the animal. Structurally, in one aspect, the collar comprises a helically wound member forming an elongated void within which is deposited an appropriate medicament for killing insect pests. In another aspect, the helically wound structure may itself be formed from a synthetic resinous material having embedded therein the insect killing medicament. |
