Is it better to spray, use a fogger or use a growth inhibitor for fleas?
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.
How do Growth inhibitors work on fleas?
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.
We have had no animals for about a month, why are the fleas worse now ?
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.
Are the products you supply safe for children and pets?
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.
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?
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.
