1. A Few Things to Do Before and After the Flea Treatment
Although it is recommended that the pest treatments should be carried out by the technicians
but there are some aspects that have to be controlled and taken care of by the customers.
There will be some features that the technicians will be unable to control and would need your
co-operation. In order to get the flea treatment done with perfection, you will have to
undertake a few tasks, so that the job gets completed on time and with quality. There are some
preparations that are required to be done before and after the treatment to have a long lasting
effect of the treatment.
Before the Treatment:
When the flea treatment gets started, you will have to start with the necessary preparations, so
that your property does not get damaged. The main steps that you should take before the
treatment are as follows:
1. Every decorative piece of home such as furniture, rugs, cushions, and carpets should be
vacuumed. It is important to clean the dust particles in between and under the
cushions. Once the cleaning is done, the next step is to close, and dispose of the bag of
vacuum in the container that is outside the home.
2. All closets and floors should be cleaned properly; the tile and vinyl floors have to be
mopped and every concrete floor has to be swept.
3. It is important to remove the toys, food items, water dishes, pet foods, pillows and
decorative items. Don’t forget to check the items that are placed under the furniture or
beds.
4. All pets should be removed from the home. However, aquarium and fish bowls can be
kept if they are properly covered and air pump should be closed off during the course of
treatment.
5. All pet bedding should be either washed or disposed of. If you are laundering them,
then wash them separately from the linen.
6. The lawn has to be mowed and anything outside the home on ground has to be
removed.
7. It is important to show the technician the places where the pets eat, sleep, and take
rest.
After the Treatment:

2. You should ask the technician that when you should return to your home along with the
instructions that have to be followed. Usually, you will be asked to come back in three hours
after the service has been completely done.
In order to make sure that treatment provides the best results, wait for three days, and then
vacuum the home, so that the service starts to show its results.
You should vacuum your house for three to four days after the treatment. The mechanical
pressure of the vacuum will definitely enhance the insecticide’s effectiveness as un-hatched
fleas will be easily stimulated before they can emerge from their pupae cases.
There is a possibility that you might see some adult fleas after three weeks of the treatment.
The pupae fleas remain protected in their cocoons from the insecticides, so they will continue
to emerge as adults for one to three weeks. When they come out, they will be definitely
eliminated.
