Flea Pest Control Services

Successful Flea Control Takes TEAMWORK!

What you can do to Control Fleas:

Even though your Home Pest Control technician has everything under control, your help is very important to complete the job. There are specific steps you should take before and after a flea treatment.

Before Flea Treatment:

  • Vacuum all rugs, carpets and furniture – especially between and under cushions. Then, seal and dispose of the vacuum bag in an outside receptacle.
  • Clear and clean all floors, even closets. Mop all tile and vinyl floors. Sweep all concrete floors.
  • Remove all decorative items, pillows, pet food, water dishes and children’s toys – be sure to check for items under beds and furniture.
  • Remove all pets. Fish bowls and aquariums may remain if properly covered and the air pump is shut off during treatment. Ask your technician for specific directions.
  • Wash or dispose of all pet bedding. If laundering, wash pet bedding separately from other linens.
  • Mow your lawn and make sure everything on the ground outside has been removed.
    Show your Home Pest Control technician where your pets sleep, rest and eat.

After the Flea Treatment:

Follow specific instructions from your technician to find out when you can return to your home, generally 3 hours following completion of the flea pest control service.

To give the flea pest control product time to work, wait to resume normal vacuuming 3 days after your home has been treated.

Continue vacuuming 2-3 weeks at intervals of 3-4 days. The vacuum’s mechanical pressure will improve the effectiveness of the insecticide by stimulating un-hatched flea to emerge from their protective pupae cases.

It is normal to see some adult flea for up to 3 weeks after flea treatment. Flea pupae are protected from insecticides by their cocoons. They will continue emerging as adults over a period of 1-3 weeks. Once exposed to the insecticide residual though, they will be eliminated.
