What to do before and after treatment
Before the treatment
Vacuum your entire home, including chairs. Make sure you empty the contents of the vacuum cleaner away from the house. Do not forget to vacuum the car as well.
Clear as much floor space as possible especially around the edges of the room, so that as much of the floor area can be sprayed.
Hot wash pet bedding and repeat regularly once treatment has been carried out.
Make sure all food is put away or covered.
After the treatment
If possible, go out for 3 hours to allow the spray to dry.
Do not vacuum for 3 weeks.
Hard surfaces may be slippery for several hours.
Be prepared to see fleas for several weeks after treatment. The adults will be killed when treatment is carried out, and the eggs that are still present after treatment will hatch at different times. As the fleas emerge, they will come into contact with the insecticide used and die.
