How to Control Fleas Succesfully

In order to control fleas in your home, you need to deal with the 4 stages of a flea's life cycle. Working with each life cycle is the only effective way of controlling flea infestation in your home. There are numerous methods concerning home pest control which will be discussed to you throughout the article that are effective in controlling fleas.

The common conception of "more is better" isn't applicable in working with fleas because this can hurt your pets. These anti-flea products are made out of chemicals and synthetic products that can significantly harm your pets as well as you and your family if used excessively. It is important to check the label before purchasing products and read on the label on how it should be used. More important is to find some organic pest control instead.

Undesirable reaction from medication from fleas can happen to your pets even after applying the adequate amount, when this happens, do not waste time and call your vet immediately. On the first attack of fleas, a flea bath is a great remedy to this problem, this will be the time where you pet will have a large number of visible fleas sticking on its body. Flea shampoo, regrettably, isn't an everlasting solution for your flea problem, flea shampoos can only effectively get rid of fleas in a day or less and re-infestation may be possible.

One more solution would be chemical synthetics such as flea dips, this solution can not only remove fleas in your pets but mites and ticks as well. But this again is chemicals and is not advised to be used when not necessary! Flea dips will have long lasting effects of 1 to 2 weeks.

A protective material can be used to pets against fleas; they are flea sprays and powders. Flea sprays and powders can provide protection to your pets in a span of 2 to 3 days. It is advised to pick a flea spray or powder that provides protection against eggs and larval growth and development of flea.

The visible flea you see in your pet is only the 10% of the population of fleas in your pet; the remaining 90% are eggs, larvae, pupa, plus some adult fleas are unseen. Getting rid of the 10% itself won't eradicate your flea problem at all.

Vacuuming is also effective and helpful in eradication of fleas. This can clean off adults, larvae, pupae, and eggs of fleas even before they develop. Daily vacuuming and correct disposal of the vacuum bag can increase the chance of getting rid of fleas completely.

Insecticides may also be applied but preferably with the aid of a professionally trained exterminator. Before applying the insecticide, remember to make sure that no pets or people are in the area, and also remember to tightly cover all food in the area. Be extra cautions specifically if you have children in your house. Proper application and pest management will completely eliminate every single flea in your house.
