How To Get Rid Of Fleas?
Don’t be mislead into thinking your pet fleas stay with your pet. As lovely as our pets are, they do have a tendency to bring unwanted strays home for sleepovers, and these guests are known to outstay their welcome FOR EVER causing a major flea infestation. This can be a problem for wherever you live in the UK, but even more so for those of us that live in or near the countryside, like we do in Ashford.
Pets, pests first
The first thing you need to do in the prevention of a flea infestation is to sort out the pets. Pest Control Ashford recommend that in the process of getting rid of fleas, the fumigation of your pet comes before anything else. That includes washing all their bedding, bed, and clothing. This can be done by bunging them into the washing machine. Not the pets, please DON’T do that. The bed clothes need to go into the machine. It might not be just the designated pet bedding that needs to be washed. Does your pet regularly sleep on the sofa? What about the bathroom rug? We know that you can’t put the whole sofa in the machine, but it would help if you could remove the cushion covers. You might end up having to call Pest Control Ashford if you can’t fumigate all the areas that your pets use. Make sure you give all the items a good strong spin.
Getting rid of fleas involves a good ‘throw out’
Some things might be too far gone, and the only cure is for you to throw it on the rubbish heap. So for all you hoarders out there, the time has come for you to be brutal. You can always buy a new bathroom rug or dog bed if you have to. The main objective here is to free your pets and your home from these blood sucking little critters. If you find this a hard task, think about all the eggs hatching DAILY.
Now it’s YOUR turn to prevent the flea infestation
Now it’s time for you to sanitise your bed clothes etc. You need to do exactly the same with your bedclothes as you did with the dogs. Put them in the washing machine and give them a good hard spin, after washing them of course.
Pest Control Ashford, a warning to you
It can be quite dangerous if you don’t get rid of fleas, especially before your home has a flea infestation. Fleas carry germs and diseases like tapeworm. They can cause bacterial infections in both humans and animals.
