Before Your Visit
- Remove Bedding Be sure to remove all your bedding and any type of covering on your furniture. Bag and wash them. Wash all laundry and linens in HOT water. 120° or more.
- Clear Floors Make sure there are no items on the floor.
- Trash Newspapers & Magazines Throw away any items such as newspapers and magazines since these are favorite hiding places.
- Clear Counters Put away all food that may be on your counters such as fruit bowls and bread. Put away dishes unless you plan to wash them afterward. Don’t forget your pet’s water/food bowls.
- Leave Home During Treatment Be prepared to stay out of your home for 4 hours during and after the treatment.
After Your Visit
- Wipe Off All Hard Surfaces Wipe or dust all hard surfaces including furniture, counter tops, electronics, etc. Don’t forget the legs of furniture (chairs and tables) as fleas will climb these to reach higher ground and hide on them.
- Vacuum All Floors Vacuum all floors well, paying special attention along carpet/wall and carpet/tile seams and along the edges of furniture.
More information on Fleas & Ticks
Fleas
Bites can be itchy. Over the counter treatments for insect bites may be helpful to reduce itchiness. Fleas need a combination of high temperatures and humidity to survive. Lowering the temperature in your home below 70° for a day will most likely interrupt their life cycle. Vacuuming catches about 96% of adult fleas as well.
Ticks
Thorough vacuuming is a very important step to eliminating ticks. Be sure to vacuum under window sills, in furniture, behind baseboards and under door moldings. Even though our products will reach these areas, it is better to err on the side of caution. Ticks have to drop on or climb up their host. They often climb up tall weeds or plants and wait for a new host to approach. Keeping your pets away from tall weeds and vegetation (for example: empty lots, palmetto bushes, etc) will help prevent re-infestation.
