Control fleas

Flea is the common for any of the small wingless insect of the order. Fleas are external parasite and make their living blood of the mammals and birds and genetic .The best move toward to managing fleas is prevention. New, safer and more effective products aimed at controlling fleas on the pet have made killing fleas without pesticide sprays feasible in many situations. Management of fleas on the pet must be accompanied by regular, thorough cleaning of pet resting areas indoors and outside the home. Once fleas infest a home, control will require a alert program that includes cleaning and treating infested areas indoors, eliminating fleas on pets and cleaning up and possibly treating shaded outdoor locations where pets rest

Indoor treatment for fleas

Before starting a control program, look through each room in the building to determine areas where larval development occurs frequently. Flea populations are highest in places where dogs or cats regularly sleep. Flea larvae are not usually found in areas of heavy pedestrian locations that receive exposure to sunlight and they are likely to be present in areas where adult fleas have left dried blood and feces. Thoroughly and regularly clean areas where adult fleas are found. Vacuum floors, rugs, carpets, upholstered furniture and crevices around baseboards and cabinets daily to remove flea eggs, larvae, adults, and food sources. Vacuuming is very effective in picking up adults and stimulating reemerged adults to leave their cocoons. Launder pet bedding in hot, soapy water at least once a week. Thoroughly clean items brought into the building like carpets or upholstered furniture, to prevent these from being a source of flea infestation.

Insecticides for controlling fleas

Use a hand sprayer or aerosol to apply insecticides directly to infested areas of carpets and furniture. Do not provide the coverage and long-term effectiveness of direct sprays unless they contain an insect growth regulator. Spray carpets, pet-sleeping areas and carpeted areas beneath furniture, baseboards, windowsills and other areas harboring adults or larvae. As soon as the spray dries, vacuum to remove additional fleas in carpets and upholstery. Fleas will continue to emerge for about 2 weeks after treatment because sprays do not kill pupae. Continue to vacuum and do not treat again for at least several weeks. Always seal and discard vacuum bags so fleas do not escape.
