Chemical Methods to Prevent Carpet Fleas.
Unfortunately, fleas have become
extremely resistant to the most natural products. In
addition to natural methods, there are likewise some
extreme treatment methods to get rid of fleas by using
chemical products for your carpeting. The following tips
will help you to get rid of fleas in your carpeting
effectively.
Use Aerosol Bomb Sprays. You should setup the aerosol bomb
spray and then leave your home quickly. Each will do a few
hundred square feet including your carpeting, So therefore
if you have a large house you will need several
aerosol bomb sprays. You should as well get all your pets
out of the house while fumigating. Select your route to
get out of the house as quick as possible in order to minimize
breathing the fumes from the spray, then place the
cans quickly, get out from the house and stay away for
several hours. After several hours, open all the windows
in the house and let the air ventilate for a while. This will
kill the larvae and adult fleas, but it will not kill the flea
eggs, which will hatch and create more fleas, therefore
you may have to use another special spray just for flea
eggs.
Spray the IGR. IGR is a Insect Growth Regulator like Nylar
(pyriproxifen), Methoprene (FleaTrol and Precor) and
Fenoxycard are some popular varieties. Spray your carpet
with Nylar which reacts with the fleas hormone, breaking
up the flea eggs that are hatching and saturates the
immature fleas so they die before becoming adults. IGRs do
not kill adult fleas.
Place a small plate containing dish washing soap or pet
shampoo with water beneath a night light on your
carpeting. The fleas will be draw in to the light and the
aroma of the soap. They'll jump into the plate and be
overwhelmed and will drown. You have to clean the plates every
day and place one in all the rooms that have a flea
problem.
Use Electronic Flea Killers. You can try using a electronic
flea killer. You can get one from any decent pet shop. They
work by using an electronic bulbs and sticky plastics tape to
trap the fleas.
Vacuum the Carpet with Flea Powders. Use flea powders which
contain special chemical substances for killing fleas, spread
the powder all over the carpets and then vacuum the powder up a
few hours later. If your pet sleeps outside, put some of the
flea powder in its sleeping area.
You will be able to shampoo the carpet with insecticidal
carpet shampoo. Steam your carpet with a steamer, or rip
out the carpet and put linoleum on your floor instead and
then you will have no more fleas.
Have a pest control professional apply an infrared heat
treatment to the carpet, which kills all stages of
fleas.
Use Limonene and Linalool. Citrus fruit peel extracts are
among the safer treatments and insect killers. But you have to
use limonene and linalool, in order that you are able to kill
the fleas in all stages of growth. Make certain you select a
product that contains both of them. Use these for carpet
cleaning.
Use Flea Collars. Flea collars work by constantly giving off
toxic vapors that will kill any fleas. Regrettably, these
vapors can also be unsafe to the pets and people that they
are expected to protect, therefore apply them sparingly
and just for as long as needed. When you do not use it,
put them in a tightly-sealed container in a cool and dry
place.
