Flea Control Treatment

Find the source-Fleas prefer to feed on fur bearing animals.  Therefore it’s best to determine what animal or animals are the source.  This can be as simple as your family pet or as complicated as a family of possums living under your house.

Treat domestic animals-Even though they may not be the initial source it’s important to keep your dogs and or cats on flea prevention medication obtained from your vet.  It’s always a good idea to consult with your vet when tackling a flea problem. 

Vacuum-Vacuuming floors, rugs, upholstered furniture, pet bedding, and any other area fleas and ticks may harbor is essential to treatment success.  Vacuuming removes all stages of the life cycle and accelerates control of the infestation.  You can’t vacuum too much!  However after vacuuming it’s important to remove the vacuum bag and dispose of it outside the house as fleas can hatch from inside the vacuum bag.
