Flea and Tick Service
Successful
control of a flea infestation relies heavily on customer participation. Some
situations require both house and yard treatments. If you have a pet, we suggest the animal also
be treated by a licensed veterinarian at the same time we treat.
Treatment Preparations

the Service

Vacuum
all floors, carpets and rug areas.

for your pet to sit

possible

o
All people and pets need to remain off
treated areas until the treated areas have dried and odor is gone (for approx.
3-4 hrs)
After the Service
o
Vacuum Carpet and rugs daily or as often
as possible. This activity Stimulates adult fleas hiding in cocoons to emerge
where they will come in contact with treatment solution
o
You may see fleas for up to 2 weeks
after being treated. Daily vacuuming of infested rooms helps speed up the
process of controlling fleas
o A follow-up service may be necessary
where flea population is heavy
