Chemical Methods To Prevent Carpet Fleas

By: Tom Dahne Home | Home-and-Family | Pets


Unfortunately, fleas have become extremely resistant to the most natural products. In addition to natural methods, there are likewise some extreme treatment methods to get rid of fleas by using chemical products for your carpeting. The following tips will help you to get rid of fleas in your carpeting effectively.

Use Aerosol Bomb Sprays. You should setup the aerosol bomb spray and then leave your home quickly. Each will do a few hundred square feet including your carpeting, So therefore if you have a large house you will need several aerosol bomb sprays. You should as well get all your pets out of the house while fumigating. Select your route to get out of the house as quick as possible in order to minimize breathing the fumes from the spray, then place the cans quickly, get out from the house and stay away for several hours. After several hours, open all the windows in the house and let the air ventilate for a while. This will kill the larvae and adult fleas, but it will not kill the flea eggs, which will hatch and create more fleas, therefore you may have to use another special spray just for flea eggs.

Spray the IGR. IGR is a Insect Growth Regulator like Nylar (pyriproxifen), Methoprene (FleaTrol and Precor) and Fenoxycard are some popular varieties. Spray your carpet with Nylar which reacts with the fleas hormone, breaking up the flea eggs that are hatching and saturates the immature fleas so they die before becoming adults. IGRs do not kill adult fleas.

Place a small plate containing dish washing soap or pet shampoo with water beneath a night light on your carpeting. The fleas will be draw in to the light and the aroma of the soap. They'll jump into the plate and be overwhelmed and will drown. You have to clean the plates every day and place one in all the rooms that have a flea problem.

Use Electronic Flea Killers. You can try using a electronic flea killer. You can get one from any decent pet shop. They work by using an electronic bulbs and sticky plastics tape to trap the fleas.

Vacuum the Carpet with Flea Powders. Use flea powders which contain special chemical substances for killing fleas, spread the powder all over the carpets and then vacuum the powder up a few hours later. If your pet sleeps outside, put some of the flea powder in its sleeping area.

You will be able to shampoo the carpet with insecticidal carpet shampoo. Steam your carpet with a steamer, or rip out the carpet and put linoleum on your floor instead and then you will have no more fleas.

Have a pest control professional apply an infrared heat treatment to the carpet, which kills all stages of fleas.

Use Limonene and Linalool. Citrus fruit peel extracts are among the safer treatments and insect killers. But you have to use limonene and linalool, in order that you are able to kill the fleas in all stages of growth. Make certain you select a product that contains both of them. Use these for carpet cleaning.

Use Flea Collars. Flea collars work by constantly giving off toxic vapors that will kill any fleas. Regrettably, these vapors can also be unsafe to the pets and people that they are expected to protect, therefore apply them sparingly and just for as long as needed. When you do not use it, put them in a tightly-sealed container in a cool and dry place.
