Flea Treatments

If you want us to carry out flea treatments at your home or business, there are certain things you must do before and after visits.

Before and During Treatment Visits

  • Before our technician visits, you should vacuum all floors and seal the contents of the bag in a bin liner before disposal, as it will contain fleas and flea eggs
  • Remove or cover fish tanks as the insecticide used is very toxic to fish and other aquatic life. Turn off filter pumps
  • The insecticide will be applied to the floors only, so please pick up all loose personal items
  • During treatment, it is essential that rooms are vacated and well ventilated
  • You should stay out of, and ensure pets do not get access to, treated areas until all surfaces are dry - about 30 minutes
  • Do not walk through treated rooms without shoes on

What to do After a Treatment Visit

You should read our important Pesticides Safety Advice page in this section regarding the chemicals used by our technician.
 
At the time of the treatment visit, our technician will give you a record of the chemicals used, with specific detailed safety advice.
 
You should also read our advice leaflet below, giving advice on what you need to do after you have had a professional treatment visit, to help prevent problems re-occuring.
