Tips For Limiting Entry and Avoiding Future Problems
- Treat your home, pet and pet areas simultaneously
- Wash pet bedding and rugs your pet may have contacted in hot water to remove existing fleas, eggs, and larvae
- Shampoo pets regularly with a flea shampoo
- Vacuuming is a great way to remove many of the immature and un-hatched fleas in your carpet
- After vacuuming, seal the bag securely in another plastic bag and throw it away outside your home
- Fleas in their cocoon stage can survive most treatments, so expect to do a follow-up pet treatment 2-3 weeks after the first treatment
- Give your pet a designated sleeping area that can be cleaned regularly
- For heavy infestations, steam clean all carpets
