| 1. Is it better to spray, use
a fogger or use a growth inhibitor for fleas?
Back up to questions |
It is much easier and more efficient to use a professional
growth inhibitor such FleaFix.
Fogging has a quick knock-down effect on adult fleas but approximately 85% of the flea
population in your home or yard are eggs or Pupae which are not affected by such
actions. |
| 2. How do Growth
inhibitors work on fleas?
This is the most frequently asked
question.
Back up to questions |
Growth inhibitors stop the eggs or pupae from hatching and
therefore kill off the total population. Adult fleas do not live very longer,
maybe a week or two at most, therefore growth inhibitors have a devastating effect upon
the fleas within the same period. |
| 3. We have had no
animals for about a month, why are the fleas worse now ?
Back up to questions
|
As long as animals are around, fleas will be attracted to
them. But fleas will take whatever is available and start biting human. The fleas are
hungry adults looking for their blood meal. Fortunately they do not survive well on human
blood and won't be able to reproduce, so the population will die out, but it may take
several weeks before this happens. However, if an animal re-enters the house or the
atmospheric conditions become suitable, it may well trigger off the dormant eggs to
hatch. If you have fleas it is better to kill them than to let them go dormant. |
| 4. Are the products you
supply safe for children and pets?
Back up to questions
|
Fleafix is safe to use around children and pets. They
do not have any effect on mammals unless taken in massive quantities. However, it is
better to let the product dry before allowing young children or pets on the sprayed area. Pets and young children should not be
allowed into the room during the time that the Permethrin
is still wet. |
| 5. I have fleas in my yard
but do not keep animals in the house so I don't have a problem inside. How do I get
rid of the yard fleas?
Back up to questions |
We do not supply a product to deal with fleas in the yard.
Spraying with a solution with a high residual such as lindane 20% works well.
But care should be taken. Lindane will kill fish if you have a
pond and if your home is close to any water body the runoff will be harmful to aquatic
life. It is better to apply lindane with a hose end sprayer to ensure that you
apply sufficient to soak into the soil where the fleas are hiding.
There has been a lot of research into the use of biological control products available for
flea suppression are those containing nematodes, for treatment of the yard. Get
further local advice from your County extension officer before using the products
mentioned above! |
| 6. How can I stop fleas from
coming into my house from outside.?
Back up to questions
|
Fleas normally enter your home on animals or on your own
body. but they will also come into the house through places such as cracks around plumbing
and under doors. Treating the area around your home with a high residual
effect such as Demon WP. The fleas which cross the
Demon die and will not come into the house. You will need to spray every 3 months or
so. Growth inhibitors such as FleaFix in the house stop any
flea which enters from successfully reproducing. |

are less effective and therefore more expensive in the long run. |
