Flea Control Indoor

Because over 95% of the flea population exists as eggs, larvae, or pupae in carpet and grass, tackle fleas and ticks right in the carpet and grass. The best time to start a flea control indoor program is in the late spring, before an infestation. Adult fleas comprise only 5% of the total flea population. To contain an active flea infestation, fleas must be controlled at every stage.

Pets with flea allergies don’t improve unless fleas are removed from the property. When pets spend 90% of their time indoors, focus your flea prevention efforts indoors, but it’s vital to include general outdoor flea and tick control if you have a yard or patio.

The key to eliminating fleas inside your home is to repeat the treatment process every 2-3 weeks. Thus killing any flea eggs that may have hatched.

Virbac Knockout Fogger will kill fleas, eggs, spiders, ants, and roaches.
  • Powder: Bio Spot Carpet Powder. Use powders on carpets, upholstery, and under cushions. Bio Spot Carpet Powder kills fleas, flea eggs, and ticks.

Areas To Treat For Flea Control

  • Carpeted areas and upholstery, including carpeted closets, under cushions and furniture. A vacuum with a beater bar removes 20% of the flea larvae and 50% of the carpet’s flea eggs. Vacuuming raises the carpet fibres so insecticides can penetrate.
  • Bed linens and pet bedding. Dry with high heat, as materials tolerate. Hot water and a long cycle in a hot dryer kill fleas at their life stages, from egg, larva, pupa, or adult.
  • Under the furniture edges where flea larvae crawl.
  • Areas the pet is denied access to because they often have some access.
  • Also, all carpeted areas.
  • Upholstered furniture.
  • Lastly, mattresses.

Flea Control Indoor Treatments
