Home and Environment Management
Regular Pet Grooming:
Regularly groom and bathe pets with flea control products recommended by your vet. Use flea combs to remove fleas and their eggs.
Clean and Vacuum Regularly:
Vacuum carpets, rugs, and furniture frequently to remove flea eggs, larvae, and adults. Pay special attention to areas where pets sleep and spend time.
Empty the vacuum cleaner bag or canister into a sealed plastic bag and dispose of it outside immediately.
Wash Bedding:
Wash pet bedding, human bedding, and soft furnishings in hot water regularly. High heat kills fleas at all stages of life.
Use Flea Control Products:
Treat your home and yard with flea control products such as sprays, powders, or foggers. Focus on areas where fleas are likely to hide, such as pet sleeping areas, carpets, and cracks in flooring.
Yard Maintenance
Maintain Your Yard:
Keep your lawn well-maintained. Mow the grass regularly, and trim shrubs and bushes. Fleas thrive in shaded, moist environments, so reducing these conditions can help.
Apply Outdoor Flea Control Products:
Consider using outdoor flea control treatments on your lawn and garden. Products containing insect growth regulators (IGRs) can help disrupt the flea life cycle.
