Fleas

The eradication of fleas can be complicated because of the efficiency of their breeding process. Also, their hiding places can be difficult to reach with insecticide. If you are a pet owner, then regular vacuuming is essential as well as periodic flea treatment of the pet. Pet bedding needs to be hot washed at least once a week.
Fleas are very difficult to treat in unoccupied premises as they can stay in their cocoons for years until disturbed.
Effective treatment is achieved with thorough application of the appropriate insecticide. Treatment should persist on a weekly basis until all the egg cases have hatched and the infestation is brought under control.
