When Fleas Are Gone
WouterFleas are everywhere, and one of the best ways to get rid of them is to vacuum. Vacuuming daily will help get rid of fleas, and using hot water to wash bedding and curtains will also eliminate flea eggs. Another good way to kill fleas is to treat your pet with a flea collar and flea shampoo.
Fleas live in the dirt and on human skin, and they lay eggs and larvae in dirty, cluttered environments. To ensure your pet’s flea treatment is effective, get rid of any litter and stray items. Also, make sure your home is as clean as possible before you call a professional. Make sure you empty the trash, throw away dustpans and vacuum bags, and wash all bedding in the hottest water.
Once you have treated your cat with flea treatment, it can take a few hours before the fleas are gone. Waiting this long can give the treatment time to take effect, so make sure you allow enough time before letting your cat out of the house or mixing it with other pets. This way, the treatment will have the maximum effect and won’t be ineffective.
Fleas reproduce extremely quickly. Flea eggs can lay dormant for months, but they can be roused by body heat and vibrations. Flea eggs can survive for 100 days without a host. Fleas can also travel with you when you move into a new home. Vacuuming daily may help prevent fleas from moving in. If you have pets, you may also want to wash their bedding frequently.
