Preparation Guide for Interior Flea Treatment
Steps to maximize the effectiveness of your interior flea service.
Fleas affect both pets and people. Proper preparation before your professional treatment is essential for full eradication. Complete the steps below to help the treatment work quickly and thoroughly.
Why Preparation Matters
Professional pest control treatments work best when paired with proper preparation. Following these steps helps your technician target pest harborage areas effectively and ensures long-term success.
Before the Treatment
• Vacuum all carpeted areas, rugs, upholstered furniture, pet bedding, and along baseboards/under furniture; dispose of vacuum contents outdoors.
• Wash pet bedding, throw rugs, and washable linens in hot water; dry on high heat.
• Remove small items from floors/closets and move furniture away from walls for baseboard access.
• Treat all pets with veterinarian‑approved flea control on the day of service if available; remove pets during treatment and for 2–4 hours after.
During the Treatment
• Technicians apply insect growth regulators and residual insecticides to infested/harborage areas.
• Do not enter until the recommended re‑entry time has passed (typically 2–4 hours).
• Do not clean treated surfaces for at least 2 weeks to allow residuals to work.
After the Treatment
• Expect flea activity for up to 2 weeks as eggs hatch and fleas contact treated surfaces—this is normal.
• Vacuum daily for 10–14 days to remove eggs/larvae and stimulate emergence; dispose of contents immediately.
• Continue using flea control on pets per your veterinarian; bathe and groom as directed.
• A follow‑up treatment may be recommended 2–3 weeks after service; contact us if activity continues beyond this period.
