Flea and Tick Service

1. Pets must be treated for fleas and kept away during treatment (many customers take their pets to be dipped during the time they need to leave the structure – see number 6 below)
2. Infested areas must be cleared (even under beds)
3. Vacuum all rugs and mop all floors – seal and dispose of the vacuum bag outside – this is a very important step
4. Mow the yard if the outside is to be treated
5. Show us where your pets rest or where the infestation is the worst
6. Prepare to leave after the structure is treated for 2-4 hours
7. Limit traffic over treated areas for 24 hours

1. Give the insecticide time to work - it is common to see fleas up to 3 weeks after service as pupae emerge from their protective cocoons
   
2. Vacuum daily (if possible) to stimulate the emergence of the pupae so they become exposed to insecticide. The vacuum noise and vibration will stimulate the pupae to emerge.
3. Fleas exposed to the insecticide may still bite while the product is affecting them. So, biting fleas does not always mean the treatment needs to be re-done.
