Domestic fleas are small blood-sucking insects that are carriers of many dangerous infectious diseases. When they appear in an apartment or a house, it is necessary to immediately take measures to destroy them.

  Where do fleas come from in an apartment?

Very often fleas enter the apartment with their pets, but not only cats and dogs can become carriers of these insects. Fleas can also get into the house from basements and cellars, where they often live or move into an apartment from unclean neighbors.

The main thing, at the first signs of the presence of fleas in the house, to immediately begin to fight them, because these insects breed very quickly, and with inaction of the apartment owners can soon literally occupy the house.

  What do home fleas look like

The entire body of the flea is covered with microscopic spikes and bristles, allowing the insect to easily move and stay on animal hair or the human body.

A female flea in its entire life can lay up to 600 eggs, which look like microscopic white grains. Larvae hatch from the eggs, resembling tiny worms in appearance. The food of such larvae can be any organics. And in the absence of food, they can even eat each other. Larvae most often live in the litter of domestic animals, under the baseboard and in various crevices.

The flea larva as it grows into a chrysalis, which can be quite dormant for a long time and even tolerate low temperatures, harmful to adults.

  How to get rid of fleas in pets?

• Flea powder

Such drugs can be classified as the most sparing, since the percentage of insecticides contained in them is minimal. However, it should be borne in mind that the treatment of animal hair with the help of such funds will need to be carried out several times, since their effectiveness is lower than other anti-flea drugs.

• Sprays

Such funds allow you to quickly and effectively get rid of fleas in cats and dogs. They are sprayed on the wool, and then rubbed with your fingers. It is worth considering that animals can lick the product from the coat and get poisoned, so when spraying it is best to put on a special collar on the pet.

  Fighting fleas in an apartment using folk remedies

One of the most effective folk methods to get rid of fleas in an apartment or house is freezing. Fleas do not tolerate low temperatures and die almost instantly. However, this method is not suitable for everyone, since freezing can lead to failure of the heating system.

Another common folk way to get rid of fleas is surface treatment with infusion of wormwood and placing bunches of this grass in the corners of the room. Fleas simply cannot stand the smell of wormwood and usually leave the apartment where there is a steady wormwood aroma.

Another quite effective and at the same time absolutely safe folk remedy is brewer's yeast. They should be diluted in a small amount of water and add a few cloves of garlic passed through a press. The resulting mixture must be processed skirting, floor and other surfaces. It is important to remember that this remedy is not suitable for the elimination of fleas in pets, since the garlic included in the mixture is poisonous to cats and dogs.

Advice!To scare away fleas from pets, you can fill in mattresses (bedding) for cats and dogs with wormwood. Animals will not be uncomfortable with a wormwood smell, but fleas will not like it. Also for these purposes, you can use sawdust of conifers, the smell of which will create unbearable conditions for fleas.

  How to kill insects indoors

Bedding, clothes and soft toys should be washed thoroughly in hot water. Upholstered furniture and mattresses can be taken out in the cold, or left in a well-lit place in the summer heat, then carefully knocked out. If the removal of furniture to the street is impossible for any reason, then the chairs and sofas can be treated with hot steam, which will get rid of fleas, as well as destroy their larvae and eggs.

If a chemical insecticidal drug is chosen as a means of combating fleas, then before processing the premises, it is necessary to remove all animals and people from the house and be sure to wear a respirator or medical dressing. The drug must be sprayed on all surfaces of the furniture, process floors and walls with it. After processing, the room should be locked and left for 3-4 hours, after having previously closed all the windows. Typically, this treatment allows you to effectively get rid of both adult insects and their larvae. After this time, the room must be carefully ventilated. It is advisable not to wash the walls and floors after treatment for several days, as new insects can hatch from the eggs remaining on the surface, and the treatment will have to be started anew.

• through the attic or basement. If rodents (mice and rats) live in these rooms, then there is no doubt that sooner or later they will enter the apartment. Residents of the first and last floors are especially at risk;
• along with pets. If a cat walks freely along the street, then it with almost a 100% guarantee will cause fleas in the apartment. The exact same situation is with dogs, which simply need to be regularly walked;
• on clothes or shoes. It is not uncommon for insects to enter an apartment and live there, getting through the shoes and clothes of a person who came from the street;
• from the neighbors. If your neighbors have fleas, it will not be difficult for them to enter your apartment. They can not only jump to the balcony or window, but also penetrate through the ventilation.

When moving to someone else’s apartment, you need to be as careful as possible, because before that there could be fleas in it that you didn’t fight or take out completely, so you need to determine their presence and destroy it as soon as possible.

Get rid of fleas: 5 essential steps

Before fighting fleas in an apartment, you need to know a few basic rules in order to confidently win it. The main problem is to cope with them as quickly as possible, due to the fact that they multiply as quickly as possible. Often they are located in bed, on the floor, on soft toys, under baseboards and of course on pets. Most often, a person feels the presence of fleas at night when they begin to bite him.

Fleas live indoors no higher than 1.5 meters, so you have to process the apartment starting from the floor and at least up to a mark of one and a half meters. It is necessary to start the fight as soon as possible, but the weekend will be the best option, because you need enough free time. The whole process can be divided into 5 effective steps:

1. The maximum amount of clothing must be sent to the washing machine, including bedding, curtains, blankets, as well as all toys and pet accessories. Before doing this, you must first dry all things. Immediately it is worth inspecting the mattress for the presence of bugs. Washing should be carried out at a temperature of at least 60 degrees Celsius.
2. The second step is to clean the furniture and carpets. Fleas most often bite their feet, since most of these insects live in upholstered furniture and carpets. Separately, you need to pay attention to the mat at the front door. It must be thoroughly cleaned and vacuumed. You also need to do with a rug in the bathroom. At the end of the procedure, the contents of the vacuum cleaner must be carefully placed in a plastic bag, sealed and immediately thrown out into the street so that the insects do not have time to creep out.
3. Wet cleaning. The next step is regular wet cleaning, which should be carried out as often as possible, especially in the presence of fleas. They leave their eggs on the floor, so you need to do the cleaning very carefully, using special tools. Particular attention should be paid to the area under the furniture, corners and baseboards.
4. Throw away old things. In addition to junk, it is always necessary to get rid of those things in which a mass of eggs or bugs is found. In almost 100% of cases, it will not be possible to clean such things on their own, therefore it is best to save time and money in the future, because only professionals can cope with this task, but you can buy a new mattress with this money.
5. Street shoes should be washed immediately upon arrival from the street. Shoes quite often become a carrier of flea eggs in the room, where they later justify their colonies. To protect yourself from this, you must thoroughly wash all shoes.

Before you get rid of fleas in the house yourself, you need to pay special attention to all the above steps, but you should understand that if the house has a pet, then the first thing to do is to carefully get rid of fleas of the animal, along with other measures. At the moment, there are a large number of different means that allow you to effectively deal with fleas in animals.

It is important to consider the fact that the means for removing fleas in cats are not suitable for dogs and vice versa. Some of the remedies can even be deadly to other animals. So for example, for cats, the means that have permethrin in their composition will be deadly dangerous.

What substances are part of effective anti-flea agents for the home and for animals?

As mentioned earlier, the modern market offers a wide variety of products, so you need to carefully study their composition and effect before getting rid of fleas at home. Not all of them are effective, and given the fact that fleas have a dense chitinous shell, it is very important to choose the means that can destroy it and strike the nervous system. To find an effective drug, it is important to control the composition, it must contain the following ingredients:

How to get fleas out of an apartment? Naturally, it is necessary to turn to the help of special tools that are designed specifically for this purpose. It is very important to choose not only effective, but also a safe remedy for a reasonable price.

Traditional anti-flea products for the home

We all know flea remedies that were among the first to appear on store shelves and have been in demand for decades. Some people, from an old memory, still use drugs such as dichlorvos and other drugs based on organophosphorus compounds.

It should be noted that these funds are highly effective, but they remain very dangerous not only for animals, but plants and of course humans. That is why they are not recommended for use in places of constant living of living creatures. Despite this danger, they are still used, since the average cost of modern domestic Dichlorvos is at the level of 80-90 rubles. In addition to Dichlorvos, there are other equally effective drugs that remain popular:

• "Sinuzan" - chlorpyrifos is used as the active substance. The product has a rather sharp and unpleasant aroma. In addition, during the treatment of the premises with this product, it is imperative to use a respirator, gloves and eye glasses. Due to its high cost, this tool is rarely used in everyday life, and most often - by professional pest control services;
• “Get” - the active substance is also chlorpyrifos, only the product is available as granules for home use. This product is often faked and sold under the guise of the famous Gett aerosol, which is no longer available. The effectiveness of this tool remains relatively low.

The best pyrethroid flea control sprays

Preparations based on pyrethrins are more effective and modern in the fight against fleas than organophosphorus. For the destruction of fleas, these agents are often used in the form of spray sprays. They are no less effective than organophosphorus, but at the same time, they are relatively safe for pets and humans.

Among the safest and most proven means are the following:

• Dichlorvos TM - a tool capable of dealing with any type of creeping or flying insect. Despite its name, this is not the Dichlorvos we spoke about earlier. In its composition there are no those harmful substances that are present in the dichlorosophorganic version. The cost is in the region of 75-85 rubles. The use of this product implies a calculation of 10 ml of the product per 1 m2;

Despite the fact that "Dichlorvos TM" is a relatively safe tool for people and pets, it is not recommended to process linen, dishes and naturally food. Within one day, do not use more than 300 ml of this product. If during processing, drops of the solution fell on the skin, this area should immediately be washed with running water and soap. It is impossible to carry out room treatment to pregnant and lactating mothers.

• Aerosol "Raptor" is a well-known drug that is included in the line of products from the same manufacturer. German quality thanks to the use of cypermethrin. This is an effective active substance that not only copes well with fleas, but also has no smell, and is also not toxic to animals and people, therefore, before you think about how to remove fleas from home, you should pay attention to this remedy.
• The cost is at the level of 220 rubles, but you should be careful, because there are several negative reviews, including the use of the Raptor aquafumigator against all insects, which costs 350 rubles. It works on the basis of water vapor spray, which, based on some user reviews, is considered effective, while others are considered useless;
• "Raid" (aerosol) is the most popular drug that is used worldwide. The average cost of "Raid" is in the region of 300 rubles, but in its lineup there is a whole range of different insect repellents (including fleas), which have a lower or higher cost. Based on the reviews, the most popular and effective drug is “Raid from cockroaches and ants,” which is able to cope with any insects in the room, for only 220 rubles;
• “Combat Super Spray” is another means in the form of a broad-spectrum aerosol. It is based on synthetic pyrethroids, which, in combination with each other, give a very good effect. For only 299 rubles, the buyer can get not only a flea remedy, but also the ability to cope with cockroaches, ants, bugs, spiders and other insects. Judging by the reviews, the tool is really effective and fully justifies its cost;
• "Aerosol from ants and other insects Dr.Klaus" is a fairly economical option, which costs only 300 rubles, for a capacity of 600 ml. This is an excellent tool that will help to cope from fleas, not only in the apartment, but also in a private house, as well as the surrounding area. In addition to fleas, this remedy is able to cope with other insects, including skin-eaters, cockroaches, ants, etc. It is very important to strictly adhere to the instructions, and to achieve a good effect, you will need to re-process.

Before getting rid of domestic fleas, it is very important to adhere to some rules and conditions:

1. Before processing, it is best to bring all animals and people to the time. If there is an aquarium in the room, then it is recommended to turn off the compressor for a while, and cover the aquarium with glass.
2. It is recommended to start processing with the accumulation of pest habitats, namely: soft toys, floors, bedding, baseboards, furniture upholstery.
3. To achieve maximum effect, it is necessary to keep windows and doors closed, and start airing only after a few hours.
4. As soon as ventilation is carried out, it is necessary to carry out wet cleaning, and wash all the soft toys, bedding and clothes that have been processed.

Aerosols are quite effective in that almost all fleas and their masonry can be destroyed in one treatment.

Flea Control with Insecticidal Powders

The use of flea control powders has its advantages and disadvantages. This type of treatment is different from aerosols. They need to be scattered in the intended habitats, namely on carpets, baseboards and floor. It is very important to do this as carefully as possible, because a powder product can destroy an insect only if it appears directly on the insect itself.

There are several effective ways to treat a flea house, among which the following can be noted:

• Clean House - better known as dust. Able to remove a large number of insects in the house, not only fleas, but also ants, cockroaches, bugs, etc .;
• Pyrethrum is a natural product that is based on chamomile extract. Despite the most simplified composition, the drug is quite effective;
• Phenaxin - in addition to fleas, also copes well with flies and their larvae;
• Delicia - in addition to fleas, it also copes with other harmful insects. The drug copes well with all types of fleas and practically leaves them no chance. It is especially effective if there are pets in the room that have caused fleas. The average cost varies within 350 rubles.

On average, the cost of such drugs is cheaper than aerosols, but you should understand that they are much slower.

How to remove fleas using folk methods?

Often use folk remedies for fleas in the apartment. Very often, different plants are used as an effective flea control. Often they use stems of bitter wormwood, which are quite effective in this case, when fighting fleas and other insects.

This plant actively repels fleas with its pungent odor. Despite its effectiveness, it is still worth noting that this tool does not destroy, but only scares away fleas, so after a while, the problem may appear again.

There is another plant that also has a deterrent property - Persian chamomile. It is worth noting that this is not an ordinary chamomile, which is sold in a pharmacy. In Persian, there are special agents that are toxic to fleas that can destroy them. It is worth noting that for the effect it is necessary to apply a sufficiently large number of leaves and stems of the plant. In addition, the plant must be fresh, so it will have to be changed regularly.

The plant must be distributed throughout the house for 24 hours and, if necessary, repeat the procedure.

When choosing a remedy for fleas in the house, you can pay attention to concentrated herbal infusions of tansy, wormwood, eucalyptus and mint. Such preparations should be used on all surfaces, as well as furniture, floors, corners, baseboards and other surfaces at a distance of 1-1.5 meters. Among the unpleasant odors, it is worth noting pine sawdust.

Among other things, some use other types of home remedies to combat fleas:

• borax powder or with an aqueous mixture. To obtain the effect, it is necessary to distribute the product on the carpet and leave it all night. In the morning, just vacuum the carpet. It is very important to use this tool with extreme caution, especially if there are children or pregnant women in the room;
• baking soda or its mixture with water. It is enough to rub this mixture into the carpet and leave it overnight, and in the morning vacuum the surface;
• a mixture of water and kerosene. A fairly well-known folk method. To do this, mix 100 ml of kerosene in a bucket of water and evenly spray the resulting mixture over the carpet. Next, you need to leave the room with your pets and close all doors / windows. After a few hours, it is necessary to carry out wet cleaning to remove dead insects. When working with kerosene it is very important to use safety glasses, a mask and a respirator, and also remember that it is flammable;
• garlic and yeast. It is enough to mix the ingredients in equal proportions and rub the mixture into the carpet. Until the morning, the product should work, and in the morning it is necessary to clean. The main disadvantage is the unpleasant odor.

Regardless of which product is chosen, it is very important to regularly carry out a cleaning procedure to get the desired effect. Processing must be carried out at least once a week.

Those owners who do not know how to get rid of fleas in a house quickly should turn their attention to modern industrial facilities that are able to rid a room of fleas in a relatively short time.

Thermal treatment of a flea exterminator

Like any living organism, fleas can exist only at certain temperatures. To destroy them, it is enough to make the finding of insects not comfortable, but in this case you can use only two options:

• heating. To make fleas uncomfortable, it is enough to heat the room temperature to 50 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, if the insects do not die, then they will definitely leave the room. Despite the effectiveness of this tool, it is worth noting its complexity in execution. To do this, you need to turn on the heater and the oven with the door open. If you fail to bring the temperature to the required level yourself, then you will have to call specialists with heat guns;
• freezing. Unfortunately, using this method will turn out only in winter in frost, below 20 degrees Celsius. To do this, open all the windows in the room for ventilation and temporarily remove from it. In a few minutes you can return, but there may be a problem - in severe frost, pipes or some equipment may be damaged.

If there is no way to cope with this problem yourself, then you need to call a specialist in this field.

Calling flea control professionals

It is very important to really evaluate your strength before you remove fleas from the apartment. Sometimes, with the large scale of the problem, it is best to immediately contact the professionals, which will help to save not only your time, but also money. Before contacting specialists, it is necessary to perform a number of simple steps to prepare the room:

• all residents on the premises must leave it, along with their pets;
• all furniture that is close to the walls must be moved aside, removed bedspreads, bedding and removed from the closet;
• prepare the necessary chemistry in order to clean after the procedure.

As soon as the procedure is completed, experts will explain what specific preventive measures must be taken so that the insects do not return again.

It is always easier to prevent the appearance of fleas than to fight them. All measures to prevent their occurrence are as follows:

• at least once a week, it is necessary to carry out a general cleaning in the entire apartment with a thorough cleaning of hard-to-reach spots;
• in the event that there are pets in the room, it is necessary to purchase special protective collars for them;
• it is important to always keep shoes and clothes as clean as possible and wash them every time you arrive from the street.

Thanks to such simple rules, you can protect your home from these harmful insects and the question of how to get rid of fleas in the apartment will not arise. Particular attention should be paid to pets if they begin to behave strangely, itch and howl and whine. In modern stores there is a fairly large amount of funds that will help in the fight against fleas. Now, if fleas have appeared in the house, everyone knows how to get rid of them.

The question often arises of what fleas are. There are several types: cat, dog, rat, etc. Insects feed exclusively on blood and tend to settle closer to people, animals.

Where do the bloodsuckers come from

One of the main sources of infection is pets living with their owners. Insects jump on the paws of dogs during a walk and easily penetrate into the home.

Bloodsuckers live on the hair of pets, or are fond of various nooks: skirting boards, upholstered furniture, dark corners. It is necessary to decide what to do when fleas are wound up in the house / apartment, otherwise there will be more and more of them every day.

Another favorite place of residence of insects is chicken coops, where hens, geese, ducks, turkeys live. Fleas jump on people and get into the house, and homeowners are puzzled where the bloodsuckers came from and how to get rid of them.

Kids suffer greatly from skin lesions, often comb themselves to the blood. Therefore, it is urgent to decide what to do when fleas are wound up in the house, and what helps from them.

imethyldichlorovinylphosphate - the main component of old Dichlorvos, has been replaced with more modern and effective means, for example, aerosols from fleas based on pyrethroids are very effective. So pay attention to the composition of the drug and its active substance. The choice in the stores is huge.

For most flea control aerosols in homes and apartments, consumption is about 10 grams per square meter. m., therefore, you can calculate the right amount of the drug.

Terms of complete disposal of the apartment from fleas

On the packaging of insecticides, it is usually written that “fleas die within an hour”, but this is not entirely true.

After a one-time treatment of the apartment, the fleas will really die, as promised. But in a few days, usually within a week, new fleas will appear, hatching from the remaining eggs.

The new generation will again come across an insecticide and die out again (you didn’t clean the apartment a few days after the treatment?).

However, it is possible that the new generation will have time to leave offspring, so waiting for the next invasion is worth 2 weeks, by then it is better to re-disinsect the apartment from fleas. Therefore, getting rid of fleas is not so simple.

How to get rid of fleas in an apartment

A flea jumps a third of a meter in height and half a meter in length. Fleas do not live long - about 4 months. Female fleas during their life lay up to 400 eggs, of which one week after the laying, the larvae shed three times.

Fleas of dogs and house mice glue eggs to the hair, and human fleas to the hairs of the fabric. Other flea species lay their eggs in the dust that has accumulated in the crevices of the floor, under the baseboards, in the litter of animals or bird nests, in the burrows of rodents.

Living in dust and debris, the larvae feed on the decomposing organic debris and feces of adult fleas that contain the remains of undigested blood. The signal for the exit of an adult flea from a pupa is usually increased moisture or shaking of the soil, which is a consequence of the appearance of a host of a nest or hole.

Fleas often drink blood in small portions. Some fleas attack the host only at the moment of feeding, and spend the rest of the time in the litter of holes, nests (rat, human). Others - live on the owner for a longer time, sometimes a significant part of their lives (feline, dog, domestic mice).

Thus, fleas transmit from a sick host to a healthy variety of pathogens: plague, pseudotuberculosis, tularemia, typhoid infections, and rat typhus.

Another cause of serious infections is combing and tearing at the bite site. Especially animals and children suffer from this - it is more difficult for them to restrain themselves. As a result, scratches appear on the skin, combs in which infections get and begin to develop fruitfully. It is possible, in this case, to earn gangrene with all its consequences.

Flea Prevention

In the premises, walls, floors, upholstered furniture on the reverse side, animal litter are treated with insecticides, plinths, floor gaps and animal resting places are carefully treated.

The most difficult thing is to destroy fleas in apartments if they got there from the cellars, where their main “hosts” live - rats, mice, homeless cats. You can not mix different drugs without consulting a veterinarian. In order to get rid of a flea kitten, an old or sick animal, you need to consult a veterinarian.

How to find fleas in an apartment

To determine the presence of fleas in the apartment and get rid of them yourself, you can use a couple of simple tips. But it is worth warning right away: if you have pets that sometimes go outside, especially during the summer season, then you have fleas with a 90% probability.

In other cases, you can determine their presence in the following ways:

• Lay several white sheets of paper on the floor next to the sofa or cover the floor with a white cloth. If after some time you see black dots on a white surface, it means that you have insects.
• You can also walk with a damp cloth on the floor or carpet, and then dip it in clean water. If it acquires a pale pink hue, this may mean that there were flea feces on the floor with blood. That is, in your apartment there are definitely fleas.

So, you managed to detect pests in the apartment, so half the job is done. Now it remains to take measures that will help you get rid of fleas once and for all.

Fighting fleas in the house

Earth fleas are the most unpleasant insects that can undermine home comfort. Moreover, their appearance is possible both in private houses and in apartments.

As a rule, they appear in an apartment as a result of their introduction into the housing by pets. Therefore, if fleas are found in your home, then first of all, you need to pay attention to your pets.

In an apartment or private house, fleas pose a serious danger to people. And these are not just discomfort from insect bites. We are talking about the possibility of various infections getting into the human body.

• Fleas are especially dangerous for children. Their bites can cause severe physical pain, cause an intense allergic reaction and lead to infection.
• That is why, the destruction of domestic fleas is a priority if they are detected.
• At the same time, the fight against these insects should be started immediately after their discovery. Otherwise, removing insects will be much more difficult.
• Destroying fleas, in the advanced case, can take a lot of time and require serious processing

In order to deal with domestic fleas, you should try to find out the reason for their appearance, and choose an effective way by which you can destroy them:

• animals should be treated first. You can fight insects on pets with the help of special collars, sprays and shampoos. Wash your pet thoroughly and purchase a collar. It will help prevent the subsequent appearance of fleas in the animal’s hair;
• you can fight against harmful insects through the use of various insecticides. However, with fleas there is one feature. Fighting them with traps or gels is futile. Such insects can only be removed using aerosol products.

Thus, it will be possible to destroy the entire flea population in the home. At the same time, one should not forget that effective control of fleas should be carried out by specialized means. However, they can also be removed using general aerosols that have anti-insect action.

However, the question of how to deal with fleas in the house is not as simple as it seems. It is quite difficult to destroy pests on your own. After all, you need to know the specific features of the process - fleas can be in the most secretive places. Therefore, you can effectively deal with them only with the help of specialists.

In addition, we must not forget that aerosols should be used under certain conditions. You should take care of your own safety. After all, improper use of funds can lead to severe reactions. Such funds are very toxic, they should not be allowed to get into the eyes or mouth.

There are several protection rules when using such tools:

• a gauze bandage should be put on, it will help protect the respiratory tract;
• glasses will prevent contact with the eyes;
• the use of gloves will protect the skin of the hands.

After the treatment is completed, you need to leave the room closed for 2 to 4 hours. After which, you need to ventilate it well.

However, incomplete treatment of all surfaces is not able to destroy insects. Their population will quickly recover, and the owners of the apartment will only be perplexed, since fleas will continue to pester people and animals.

The work of professionals is characterized by the following features:

• competent and complete assessment of the situation. This will allow you to properly plan actions and assess the level of complexity of the task
• the use of the most effective drugs. Thus, it is possible to destroy the entire population of insects and avoid its recovery;
• the result and its preservation are guaranteed. This fact is important, as the customer will no longer have to continue to deal with fleas.

Under such circumstances, we can conclude that it is possible to withdraw completely fleas only using professional means and ordering processing from specialists.

This approach seems to be the most correct. Moreover, the specialist’s departure is carried out shortly after the receipt of the application. And the prices for the work will pleasantly please you.

Self-destruction of fleas

In order to properly and effectively independently earthen earthen fleas at home, you should prepare it for this. To do this, carry out a set of measures:

• do a general wet cleaning, wipe the dust wherever it may be, wash the floors, vacuum the carpets and furniture;
• move food to a place where they cannot be exposed to aerosol;
• take animals out into the street or into the corridor;
• send children to their grandmother or neighbors for a few hours (preferably all night).

After that, you can start to poison earth fleas. Close all doors and windows in the room in which you will be cleaning. Arm yourself with dichlorvos or a special flea control product, then spray it wherever there may be insects. At the same time, it is advisable to put a bandage on your face so as not to get poisonous fumes.

Self-control of fleas in the house is very difficult given the first time. Fleas are a fairly common problem that you need to get rid of immediately, since these small insects not only cause discomfort with bites, they can also carry some diseases.

Surely many of you have encountered this problem, and in our article we will tell you in detail how to process an apartment from domestic fleas. But first, let's find out in what ways they can penetrate our home.

Carefully process the space near the skirting boards, behind the skirting boards, behind the furniture, and also pay special attention to the carpet. It will be best to rinse it with a hard sponge, at the same time combing out hard-to-reach places.

Then spray dichlorvos on the carpet as thoroughly as possible, trying to process as much area as possible. If you want to effectively get rid of fleas, then you should pay enough attention to the processing of the apartment.

After you have finished spraying the aerosol, leave the treated room for at least 6 hours, tightly clogging the windows and doors. Then, if you have pets, redeem them and treat them with a special flea remedy. It is also advisable to buy a flea collar and put it on a pet.

When 6 hours have passed, thoroughly ventilate the treated area to get rid of toxic fumes. It is also advisable to re-clean and thoroughly vacuum the carpet: even if insects remain in it, due to the action of dichlorvos, they are significantly weakened and can be easily removed.

As a rule, after such actions, fleas disappear from the apartment. In order for them not to return, you should regularly carry out wet cleaning and watch for pets: if they start to itch, they need to be redeemed and treated with an insect repellent. Keeping clean in the apartment, you can once and for all get rid of bloodsuckers.

Fighting fleas with folk methods

One of the folk remedies by which this can be done is a herbal infusion of wormwood or eucalyptus leaves. If desired, you can combine them, pour the plants with strong boiling water, wait until the water has cooled, then pour it into the spray bottle and spray it around the apartment. Hard-to-reach spots, carpets and upholstered furniture should be especially carefully treated.

To independently etch insects at home using folk remedies, you can process floor coverings with a pile of infusion of garlic and brewer's yeast. After that, most likely, you will have to treat the palace with a detergent to remove the smell of garlic, but such a folk remedy for fleas is quite effective.

If there are no animals, and fleas are jumping around the apartment, feeling “at home,” then the source of their appearance is the basement. To eliminate the source of their distribution, you may need help from the Housing Office or sanitary and epidemiological station. Then, you can process the apartment.

Before you start processing an apartment for fleas, you should carefully approach the choice of the drug. Flea insecticides can conditionally be divided into three categories: powders, aerosols and liquid concentrates.

It is known that dusts (or powders) are the least effective form of the drug against cockroaches or bugs. Effective and high-quality treatment of an apartment from fleas is unlikely to involve “testing” of cracks and floors, as well as other similar measures involving powders and traps based on them.

Why? The fact is that even despite the fact that dusts show relatively good results when used against fleas, the fact is that it is not always possible to completely get rid of fleas with powder alone. Especially in the case of a high number of insects. Also, flea powders are far less effective than aerosols.

Aerosol products are suitable for anyone with the inscription “against crawling insects,” Raptor and Combat are especially effective. Pay attention to the composition of the product, a pyrethrum-based insecticide is recommended.

Among professional products - emulsion concentrates, Eslanodez, Sinuzan, Averfos, and Taran are effective. Before use, you must read the instructions, properly dilute the drug with water and do not forget about protecting your health.

It is worth remembering: treating an apartment from fleas with insecticides without personal protective equipment is a serious risk to your health. Many have an imaginary confidence that the product is absolutely safe only because it does not have a strong smell or simply because even if it is, it is not so intolerable as to use a mask or at least a bandage.

Of course, if you process without protection, nothing fatal will happen, and many do it without fear of even slight poisoning. However, you can not be sure that the tool will not do you any harm and is completely safe, even if you do not feel discomfort from contact with it.

After all, firstly, harm can be hidden, i.e. to flow implicitly for yourself. Secondly, you can not guess about your own predisposition to allergies to a solvent or some component in one or another applied composition. So, be careful and strictly follow what is indicated in the instructions for use.

The procedure is as follows:

• you need to process the entire apartment with a tool: furniture, floors, skirting boards, cabinets from the inside, their intended habitat;
• leave the apartment for several hours after closing the windows;

Adult fleas lay eggs (up to 50 pieces per day) in animal hair, but soon the eggs crumble and fall into carpets, upholstery of upholstered furniture and wherever the animal runs, lies, sleeps or plays. To get rid of earthen fleas, these areas require priority attention during disinfestation. If they are ignored, then 90% of the population - eggs, larvae and pupae - will remain unharmed, and infection will resume.

Means containing both an imagocide and an insect growth regulator act at different stages of development and help to quickly get rid of indoor fleas on the floor. If such agents are not available, combine long-acting contact insecticides with boric acid powder, which kills the larvae.

  How to handle pets

Adult fleas - the visible stage that bites pets and people - spend their lives on the body of animals, not on the carpet. Therefore, in order to get rid of earthen fleas in the house, animals are necessarily processed in parallel with the room. Otherwise, the imago will continue to bite the pet and lay eggs. In addition, untreated animals will pick up new fleas on the street, and the infection will be repeated again and again.

Attention!

Animals are processed only by veterinary drugs. In no case do not use insecticides intended for indoor treatment for animals.

Today flea remedies are available for animals in various forms: drops, shampoos, collars, and preparations for internal use. Use only those products that are intended for this type of animal, carefully read the instructions. Consultation with a veterinarian will definitely not be superfluous.

  How to get rid of earthen fleas in the yard

As a rule, to cope with infection, it is enough to remove fleas indoors and on pets. But if the center of earthen fleas is in the courtyard of a private house, as it happens in rare cases, in order to get rid of them, you have to fight in the yard. For example, when a dog lives in a kennel on the street.
