How to get rid of fleas
Flea Control - Flea Killers
For controlling and killing fleas, we have three great products which just about all the professional pest control officers use. RX Plus for Fleas is a carpet powder which kills fleas and stops them from breeding. Permethrin kills the current adult flea population and FleaFix is designed to prevent fleas from reaching maturity and therefore cuts out successful breeding.
 FleaFix
Is an insect growth regulator to stop reproduction of fleas and roaches and to prevent re-infestation. Safe for plants, furniture, carpets and has pleasant to no odors. Easily mixes - 1 oz. with 1 gallon of water and treats up to 1,500 sq. ft.. indoors, 750 sq. ft outdoors.
Permethrin
This is a great product for treating both inside and outside areas infested with fleas. Multi use indoor and outdoor insecticide for use on Animals and Animal Premises. For controlling fleas, flies, mange mites, horse flies, ticks, mosquitoes, gnats, ear ticks, deer ticks, poultry mites, blowflies, hog lice, northern fowl mites lice.
FleaFix + Permethrin
Use Permethrin for a quick knock-down of the adult population and let the
growth regulator, FleaFix take care of the eggs. Although nearly all fleas present will be controlled by the time you complete
the treatment, do not be alarmed if you see some small fleas for a few days
after treatment. These fleas are newly hatched from their protective pupae case
or newly introduced to the home by your pet. The residual effect of the
Permethrin will kill them and the eggs will be controlled the FleaFix Insect
Growth Regulator.
 RX Flea Powder
The 'fine' powder allows for easy application on while brushing into the carpet. The 'statically charged' powder provides a clinging effect to carpet fibers. This allows very little to be removed by vacuuming, thereby providing long-lasting protection. It attaches to the flea larvae as they wiggle by. The effectiveness of killing (dehydrating) flea larvae is greatly
increased. If applied properly, RX will rid your home of fleas for one full year.
Children and pets should not be in treatment area during application but can come in immediately following application. Flea powder also has a neutral pH of 7.0, so it will not damage or stain your carpet, or repel pests that can sense acidic substances.
Indoor Flea Control:
Vacuum all floors, carpets, baseboards, pet bedding and furniture. Vacuuming not only removes a percentage of fleas and eggs, but it also stimulates the cocoons to
hatch. Vacuum prior to treatment. and resume vacuuming 24 hours after treatment. Recent
research indicates that daily vacuuming for two to three weeks after treatment will
expedite the elimination of fleas. For flea-control on hardwood floors, begin with vacuuming the floors and
baseboards, then spray the floor including all cracks, crevices and baseboards.
The first treatment should include a spray with a quick knockdown insecticide such as Permethrin mixed with a FGR (Flea Growth Regulator), such as
FleaFix Wait 24 hours to begin daily vacuuming. The growth
regulator will take about three weeks to gain control of the eggs. Some adults will hatch
during this period because the FGR will inhibit the development of the eggs and larvae,
and the insecticide will kill the adults. The cocoons remain unaffected and will eventually hatch within 5-10 days under normal
circumstances. The cocoons require humidity, warmth and vibration in order to hatch.
When the cocoons hatch, the adult fleas emerge, which requires another treatment of insecticide
to eliminate the newly-hatched fleas. This is the reason for additional treatments.
If your using RX Flea Powder, slowly brush powder into carpet with a push broom. Brush in one direction to evenly distribute powder. Then, use a slow back and forth motion until no visible powder remains. The powder will stick
to the carpet but it is better to not vacuum for a few days. Rx for Fleas, WHEN APPLIED PROPERLY, will rid your home of fleas for one full year
Outdoor Flea Control
To control fleas outdoors, spray the Permethrin, in the areas
where the pet spends the majority of time i.e., kennels, runs, beds fence lines, along
sidewalks and driveways, underneath decks, and areas adjacent to foundations, etc. A repeat treatment may be necessary after four
weeks.
