2Control Method
Flea infestations need a planned approach. The flea infestation can be dented with vigorous hoovering (empty the bag immediately), the treatment of the host pet and its bedding, and then residual and growth regulator applications to eradicate the flea at all lifecycle stages. It is crucial that an IGR (insect growth regulator) be used and this is what is lacking in most over the counter publicly available treatments.
We use the industry’s two leading chemicals which provide an encapsulated residual spray lasting upto three months within carpeted areas.
