Pick up items off the carpet such as magazines, toys (from furniture, beds, close floors) and other small articles.
If Your Pet Has Fleas At The Time Of Treatment bring him/her to us for a conditioning flea bath! Call for an appointment with our groomer, Evelyn. We will administer a safe and efective flea control program for our pet. You pet can pick up fleas outdoors throughout the flea season so subsequent flea treatments to your pet and their environment mya be needed.
Clean your pet's bedding the day before treatment to remove fleas. Be sure you thoroughly treat the area before the clean bedding is replaced. If your pet sleeps on your bed, strip and clean bedding the day of the treatment and weekly thereafter.
Remove All Pets From The House at the time of the treatment.
Vacuum your home because fleas develop in dust, lint, furniture and carpets, it is important to clean and vacuum all areas of your home where your pet has access. Virgorously vacuum on the day of the treatent or the day before treatment.
***Pay special attention to vacuuming these areas:***
under furniture
chair and couch cussions
upholstery folds and tufted areas of overstuffed furniture
all wall-floor and floor-furniture junctions
at the foot of furniture on which the pet rests. (research shows that when a pet jumps down from furniture, flea eggs will be deposited in that area.
OTHER CLEANING TIPS
Immediately empty vacuum bags into a plastic bag, seal top and put in an outside waste receptacle.
Be sure to clean Thoroughly all areas frequented by cats , i.e. table tops, refrigerators tops, window sills, counters, etc.
If your pet spends time in basements and garages , clean floor with soap and water paying particular attention to floor/wall junctions.
When treating the outside environment , thoroughly treat the edges of the yard by the fences, around the base of the houe, under the outdoor furniture. Fleas DO NOT like areas that are in the full sun. Before you start any treatment mow your lawn. The vibrations open the flea eggs so that you get a better contol of the adult flea population.
