1. If you have an infestation of fleas and you do
have pets, you must coordinate an appointment with a
Vet to have the pet dipped the same day that the flea
control treatment is performed.
2. You must vacuum thoroughly all areas of your
apartment visited by pets and those places where dirt
accumulates (e.g. edges of fitted carpets, under cushions on
sofas, under heavy furniture, pet resting areas). This will
particularly remove flea eggs, adults and larval food.
Immediately dispose of the vacuum bag outside.
3. You should be prepared to leave your apartment for
up to (4) four hours when the treatment is performed.
Once the pesticide is applied to the floors you cannot walk
on them until it has dried.
4. Try to keep your pets indoors (or having no pets at all)
is the most effective and economical method of avoiding
fleas being brought into the home.
5. Where pets are a main source of fleas, regularly
wash pet bedding to destroy immature stages of fleas.
6. Eliminate carpets or rugs which are difficult to clean
(e.g. some shag rugs) or have them regularly cleaned by
professionals.
7. AFTER TREATMENT: Vacuum carpets every day for
10 days and remove the vacuum bag outdoors and dispose
of it properly. Don’t be alarmed if you see adult fleas when
you are vacuuming. These fleas were in the pupa and egg
stages which aren’t killed by the insecticide application.
However, there is enough residual control to last for up to
four weeks. That’s enough time to kill adults as they
emerge and give good control in most situations.
