Understanding Our Flea Pest Control Process
Steam and Spray Treatment
Insecticide spray treatment effectively exterminates fleas, those pesky parasites that infest homes and cause discomfort to pets and people. Our specialist sprays target fleas at all life cycle stages, including eggs, larvae, and adults. When applied correctly, these sprays quickly eliminate flea populations and provide long-lasting protection against re-infestation. Our exterminators focus on areas where fleas thrive, such as carpets, furniture, and pet bedding.
Flea Heat Treatment
Our heat treatment is a safe and environmentally friendly solution to flea infestations. Highly trained technicians use specialised equipment to raise the temperature in infested areas to levels that kill fleas at all stages of their life cycle, including eggs and larvae.
Our process includes:
- Precise temperature control to ensure effective flea elimination between 55°C to 60°C)
- Thorough treatment of carpets, upholstery, and hard-to-reach areas
- Careful monitoring by our technicians to guarantee optimal results
Using heat to eradicate fleas is an efficient method that offers long-term relief for your home.
How to Prepare for Flea Removal
Proper preparation is crucial to ensuring the success of your flea treatment. Here’s what you can do:
- Declutter: Tidy up your home or business to make potential flea-hiding spots easy to find and access, especially around walls and baseboards.
- Thorough cleaning: Vacuum your carpets, furniture, and floors thoroughly, paying attention to crevices and under cushions. Avoid cleaning after the treatment to maximise the insecticide’s effectiveness.
- Pet care: Inspect your pets for fleas, as they are often responsible for bringing them into the house. Please consult your vet about flea treatment for your pets, and consider keeping them in a separate area before and after the treatment.
- Vacate premises: All people and pets must leave the property during the treatment. Our insecticides require time to dry before it’s safe to re-enter.
By following these steps, you’ll help our technicians effectively eliminate the flea infestation.
What to Do After Flea Control?
To ensure the best results from your flea treatment, follow these guidelines:
- Allow drying time: Wait at least three hours before re-entering the treated areas.
- Avoid cleaning: Do not vacuum or clean treated areas for 15-21 days to allow the insecticide to work effectively.
- Dispose of vacuum contents: After the initial 21-day period, vacuum regularly to remove dead fleas and eggs. Dispose of vacuum bags or canister contents outdoors immediately.
- Continued vacuuming: Vacuum daily after the initial 15-21 days to remove dead fleas and eggs.
- Limit pet exposure: Keep pets indoors during the wait period to minimise the risk of reintroducing fleas.
- Ongoing prevention: While our insecticide provides long-lasting protection, monitoring your pets for signs of fleas will keep these pests away from your home.
Enjoy a flea-free home!
