Do I Need to Fumigate My House For Fleas?

You may be wondering: Do I need to fumigate my house for fleats? There are several things to consider before you do. First, you should know the source of fleas in your home. Fleas tend to live in warm and shady areas. You should avoid areas where there is water or puddles. You should also use an insecticide that contains an insect growth regulator (IGR). Once you apply the solution, you should stay away from treated areas for several hours and make sure you ventilate properly to keep the fumes out.

Ideally, you should de-flea your house the same day that you treat your pet. You should also remove any bedding from your pets and dispose of it outside. In addition, you should vacuum the surfaces in your home thoroughly to prevent fleas from spreading through them. This includes carpets, drapes, and furniture. After treating your home, you should vacuum the affected areas to prevent any fleas from re-infesting the area.

Fleas can be found in your yard, pet’s fur, and carpets and bedding. Generally, you can remove adult fleas with a high-powered vacuum. However, the larvae and eggs will live in cracks and crevices in your home. You may also need to use a vacuum cleaner with a crevice tool attachment to remove them.
