Our Flea Treatment Process Comprehensive Inspection We inspect the home to determine where flea activity is concentrated and identify areas requiring treatment. Professional Treatment Targeted applications are made to carpets, baseboards, furniture edges, pet resting areas, and other locations where fleas develop. An insect growth regulator (IGR) may be used to help interrupt the flea life cycle by preventing immature fleas from developing into breeding adults. Follow-Up Service Because flea eggs continue to hatch over time, additional treatments may be recommended depending on the level of activity. What Homeowners Should Do Before Service Vacuum all carpets and furniture thoroughly. Wash pet bedding using hot water. Pick up clothing and personal belongings from floors. Treat pets as recommended by your veterinarian. Empty the vacuum outdoors after use. After Your Flea Treatment Vacuum your home daily for at least two weeks. Daily vacuuming encourages flea eggs and pupae to hatch, allowing treatments to affect newly emerged fleas more effectively. It is common to continue seeing some flea activity for a period after treatment as remaining pupae complete development. Why Fleas Sometimes Continue Appearing Many people believe the treatment failed when they still see fleas after service. In reality, flea pupae are protected inside cocoons that are difficult for treatments to penetrate. As they hatch over the following days and weeks, newly emerged fleas contact treated areas and the infestation gradually declines.
