Fleas, which are hardy and never give up, can quickly take over our rugs and furniture, making it hard to get rid of them. These annoying parasites can lay eggs and hide in the fibres of rugs and furniture. If you don’t get rid of them properly, they will keep coming back. In this piece, we’ll talk about tried-and-true ways to get rid of fleas in carpets and furniture and bring peace back into your home.
Regularly and thoroughly vacuum
One of the most important things to do to get rid of fleas from rugs and furniture is to vacuum. Use a good vacuum with a strong suction to get into the fibres and cracks where fleas and their eggs might be hidden. Fleas like to hang out in places where your pets rest or sleep, so pay close attention to these places.
Add a flea collar or small pieces of a flea collar to the bag or canister of the cleaner to make it work better. This will help kill any fleas or flea eggs that get sucked up by the vacuum, so they can’t get back into your home.
Cleaning with steam for intensive care
Carpets and furniture can be cleaned with steam to get rid of fleas and their eggs. Fleas can be killed at any stage of their life cycle because the high temperature of the steam can get deep into the fibres. Also, steam cleaning can help get rid of dirt, dust, and flea poop, all of which can be food for flea eggs.
When using a steam cleaner to get rid of fleas, make sure the temperature is high enough. Follow the directions from the maker and let the treated areas dry completely before using.
Use a flea spray to treat specific areas
Sprays that kill fleas and are made to be used on rugs and furniture can be an effective way to get rid of fleas. Look for sprays that contain insect growth regulators (IGRs). These will interrupt the flea’s life cycle and stop flea eggs and larvae from growing into adults.
Before you use flea spray, test it on a small, hidden part of your carpet or furniture to see if it causes any problems. Once it’s clear that the spray is safe, use it evenly, paying special attention to places where fleas like to hide, like under furniture and along walls.
Natural Defence with Diatomaceous Earth
Natural and non-toxic diatomaceous earth can be a great way to get rid of fleas in rugs and furniture. Use a broom or brush to work food-grade diatomaceous earth into the fibres of the affected area. This rough powder will dry out fleas and kill them as soon as they touch it.
Remember that diatomaceous earth works best when it stays dry, so don’t use it in places that tend to get wet.
Pest Control Done Right
Professional pest control services are the best way to get rid of pests when the problem is big or when DIY methods don’t work. Experienced exterminators know how to get rid of fleas completely and keep them from coming back. They have the knowledge, tools, and effective treatments to do this.
Professional pest control services can treat rugs and furniture in a way that gets rid of fleas at all stages of their life cycle. They can also tell you what you can do to keep fleas away and help you keep your home flea-free.
