How do I prepare for flea extermination?

Question: I have a flea extermination scheduled. What do I need to do to prepare my condo?

Answer: The carpet will be treated, so it should be cleared of clothes, shoes, toys and any other loose items.

If you have pets, wash the pet bedding. Vacuum furniture that pets come into contact with. Tell the pest control Pro where pets normally rest. Vacuum around the house as well. Make sure you discard the bag every time you vacuum.

If the yard will be treated, be sure the grass is mowed. Pick up any pet dishes and move any lawn furniture out of the shaded areas where the Pro will be treating.

It is normal to see fleas for a couple of weeks after the carpet has been treated. Your Pro will explain the treatment process and any follow-up procedures besides vacuuming.
