Why is it Hard to Get Rid of Fleas?
Fleas are very tough and have a hard-shelled exoskeleton, making them hard to kill. They are also very nimble and can jump long distances. These factors make them hard to kill without the help of an exterminator.
To control flea infestation, you can use insecticides. The chemicals are effective against fleas and eggs. However, be sure to use insecticides that contain insect growth regulators. After applying the insecticide, stay away from the affected areas for several hours and ventilate them thoroughly.
Fleas may live in carpeted areas and under beds, so it is important to thoroughly vacuum all surfaces. In addition, you should also clean the inside of your cabinetry and furniture. It is also a good idea to vacuum pillows and cushions, especially in soft-furnished areas. Replace the vacuum bags regularly to keep your house free of fleas. You can also apply an all-natural flea treatment every three days to reduce flea populations in your home.
When applying an insecticide, make sure it contains an insect growth regulator (IGR), which kills flea eggs, larvae, and pupa. Also, ensure that you wear gloves and do not come into contact with the spray until it has completely dried. The best way to prevent your pet from coming into contact with the insecticide is to keep your pet indoors and avoid taking them out into the yard.
