Home Treatment
From washing your dog (and your laundry) in apple cider vinegar to vacuuming Borax detergent up off flea-infested carpets, we’ve heard about many home flea treatments for dealing with fleas. While vacuuming may help get fleas off your floors and cushions, it’s not a long-term solution, as it only removes eggs, adult fleas, and flea dirt. However, vacuuming leaves the pupae behind, just waiting to start another infestation. The best choice is to use a professional. Professional flea treatments ensure your whole home is protected from all types of pests ensuring any future infestations are addressed.
