07 Nov The Complete Guide to Flea Removal from Dogs and Homes (Part 1)

Flea removal or spraying is a continuous stream designed to treat a single area of ​​parasites. When you do this correctly, it will be an effective way to treat a flea infestation. Note that the chemicals used in flea repellents to kill fleas can be dangerous to humans and pets. You must treat the entire area of ​​the house, not just the room that is most infested with fleas. Your pets should also be decontaminated separately to prevent fleas from invading again. You should also take precautions to ensure the safety of everyone in the home during the treatment process.

Detection of fleas in dogs

Due to the special coating on their skin, dogs can pick up fleas from outside or other animals and let them into the house. Fleas in dogs is a concern that has always been with pet owners. Although dog fleas can’t live on the human body, and we aren’t good hosts for it, it can’t be enjoyable for the dog.

Fleas can also spread to other areas, such as the ground or your hands and feet with jumping. So if you notice black spots at home that occasionally go from side to side, consider the possibility of dog fleas. Of course, dog fleas can also be detected by a stool test.

Preparing the house for flea removal

Calculate the area you want to spray

flea repellents come in a variety of sizes based on brand and chemicals. In general, you will need one spray for each room. However, in some cases, a flea repellent is used for the living room, and by opening the doors, you can spray other rooms simultaneously. Read the label on the product carefully to determine the size of the area where the product can decontaminate.

Get a high-quality brand of flea repellent.

Ask your veterinarian, friends, and relatives for a flea repellent brand (if they have experience using them). You can also check different feedbacks and comments online.

Read the package instructions thoroughly.

Most flea repellents work similarly. Be sure to read the instructions carefully so that you can place them correctly in your home.

Consider a time when everyone, including your dog, is out for hours for flea removal.

Flea repellents chemicals are toxic and can easily cause disease in animals and humans. Check their label to ensure your family is safe and stay out for the period suggested on the label.

Open doors and drawers

Leave all the doors open so that flea repellents also attack the rooms. Leave doors, cabinets and drawers empty to kill fleas that have taken refuge inside the furniture.

Pick up snacks, utensils, small appliances and pottery

Open the doors of cabinets and drawers and remove such items from them to stay away from decontamination materials. It’s much easier to collect and remove these items from repellents chemicals than to wash them after spraying.

Cover cabinets, tables, special appliances and electronic equipment

flea repellent chemicals can stain furniture, tables and counters, or damage electronic equipment. Cover these items with plastic sheets or covers to prevent damage.

Seal or move your aquarium

flea repellent chemicals are dangerous to fish. If you can’t move your aquarium to another place, cover it well. Then twist a piece of plastic cover well and tighten the aquarium seams.

Turn off all light bulbs and electronic devices.

Chemicals and agents in flea repellents can be flammable. Turn off the heaters and air conditioners and turn off the pilots. Unplug all fans.

Close all windows

Make sure that flea repellent chemicals don’t leak out of the house for maximum effect. To do this, close all the windows before spraying.

Clean and sweep the house before spraying.

The vacuum cleaner causes the flea larvae to emerge and makes the spraying action as effective as possible.

Take all dirty clothes out of the house.

Flea eggs and larvae can find shelter in piles of dirty clothes. Make sure you wash all your dirty clothes. Or put the clothes in a bag and put them in a basket of dirty clothes during the spraying operation (of course, it’s recommended not to use the second method because the risk of re-contamination of your house with fleas increases).
