Why Fleas Are Harder to Eliminate Than You Think

Fleas are one of the most resilient pests -- a single female can lay up to 50 eggs per day, and their life cycle includes four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The pupal stage is encased in a protective cocoon that is completely resistant to insecticides -- meaning even thorough treatment may not eliminate fleas you see 2-3 weeks later, as new adults hatch from untreated pupae.

Ticks are a serious health concern -- capable of transmitting tick-bite fever, Lyme disease, and other pathogens to both humans and animals. They are picked up outdoors and carried into the home on pets and clothing, where they can establish a breeding population in carpets and soft furnishings.

Effective treatment requires treating the pet, the home, and the outdoor environment simultaneously -- which is exactly what our comprehensive program delivers.

🐾 Treat the Pet Too: Our treatment covers the home environment -- your vet or pet shop must treat your pet on the same day for maximum effectiveness.

Our Complete Flea & Tick Elimination Program

🏠

Indoor Treatment

Full treatment of all carpets, rugs, soft furnishings, skirting boards, and under furniture using a combination of contact insecticide and Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) -- preventing larvae from developing into adults.

🌿

Outdoor & Garden Treatment

Treatment of kennels, garden beds, lawn areas, paving edges, and any outdoor areas where your pets rest or play -- breaking the outdoor breeding cycle.

🧬

Insect Growth Regulator (IGR)

IGR disrupts flea development -- preventing eggs and larvae from maturing into biting adults. This is the key ingredient that makes professional flea treatment far more effective than DIY products.

🔄

Follow-Up Treatment

A second treatment 2-3 weeks after the first is often recommended to catch newly hatched adults emerging from pupal cocoons that survived the initial treatment.

How to Prepare for Flea Treatment

🧹 Vacuum all carpets, rugs, and upholstered furniture thoroughly -- this activates pupae and makes treatment more effective
🗑️ Dispose of the vacuum bag or empty the canister outside immediately after vacuuming
🌡️ Wash all pet bedding on the hottest cycle and dry on high heat
🐕 Remove pets from the property on the day of treatment -- they can return once treated surfaces are dry (approx. 2 hours)
🩺 Have your pet treated by a vet or use a vet-approved flea product on the same day
🛋️ Move furniture slightly away from walls to allow full treatment of skirting board areas
Plan to stay out of the property for at least 2 hours after treatment
🚫 Do NOT vacuum or mop floors for at least 14 days after treatment -- this removes the IGR residue
