Flea Treatment (as done by Swat Pest Management)

BEFORE SERVICE
In order to perform the most effective treatment, all floors must be free of all toys, clothing, and personal items.

All floor surfaces must be vacuumed before the service can begin. This is to include ceramic tile, vinyl tile, concrete basements and under beds and furniture. Couches and chairs should also be vacuumed. Any pet bedding should be cleaned or replaced as needed. Dispose of all vacuum bags or containers after each cleaning.

Make sure all pets are treated by a veterinarian approved program to prevent future infestations after our treatments are performed.

Since most cases of fleas are brought into the home from the exterior, we will also be treating the surrounding property. The yard should be cleared of all toys and personal items as well.

DURING SERVICE
The home must remain vacant for three hours after the treatments are performed. All occupants including pests may return home and resume normal daily routines after the time has elapsed.

AFTER SERVICE
Upon returning home a thorough vacuuming must be done on all floors. Just as before, the vacuuum bags or containers must be emptied after each use.

It will usually take more than one service to completely eliminate fleas from your home. The flea activity may seem to have slowed or completely stopped. But, the eggs and larvae will drop down below the carpet fibers and between cracks. Once they hatch, the infestation may start all over again.

After the first treatment, vacuum all floors daily. This will help remove all flea eggs and larvae from carpet fibers and cracks in flooring surfaces.
