Non toxic flea control is best achieved with the ONCE A YEAR FLEA POWDER and the FLEA TRAPS we have featured in our FLEA CONTROL ARTICLE. The granules are arguably the best flea product out there and in my opinion the most effective way to treat. I prefer it over sprays and aerosols and having used it many years, I’ve found it works better and is easier to employ as well. Additionally, neither pose a hazard to your pets – even when walked upon.

As our article explains, the Flea Trap is an excellent tool that when used with the Flea Granules will help you achieve the best results possible. Most homes will require 3-4 traps to get optimal results but it’s well worth the investment. As long as you vacuum the “non rug” areas of the home – specifically the hardwood, tile or cement areas – you should be able to keep these untreated areas clean and free of the debris flea larvae need to prosper. In the carpet, the Flea Granules will provide long term control and after a few weeks following the initial treatment, you should be well on your way of achieving “flea free” status.

One last note; start using the PETCOR on the pets to insure you are breaking the flea cycle that could be happening on them. Pyrethrin based spray by itself isn’t going to break this cycle and as our article explains, this can be a major contributor to the problem.

Lastly, if you suspect there could be a problem outside, treat the yard as explained in our article.

Fleas can be a persistent pest once they have established their life cycle and start breeding inside the home. Though there are some home remedies that can help prevent fleas from completing their life cycle inside, once they’ve started it’s always best to use a real pest control product to get rid of them properly. Fortunately there are plenty of safe and effective products available these days and I’m sure you can get the problem under control with a little patience.

First, you should look over our on line FLEA CONTROL article. This discussion explains just why fleas are such a pest and what you must do to get a local infestation under control. As you’ll learn from the article, flea control is really egg control. Get the eggs from being able to develop and you’ll be able to reduce and eliminate the ones you’re seeing inside.

Based on what you’ve used before, I think the ONCE A YEAR FLEA GRANULES would be ideal for you’re situation. This product is related to borax but is designed different in that it will last 12 months or longer once applied to carpeting. It really works at stopping the flea cycle by dehydrating the flea eggs so once applied to the carpet, the cycle will be broken. Since it will take a little time for the pupating fleas to emerge, you might want to set out some FLEA TRAPS to help make the next 1-3 weeks tolerable since the traps will help catch some of these newly hatching fleas. These options are very safe and effective and compared to spraying, easier to do. I’m 100% sure you’ll be able to handle this problem yourself but if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to give us a call at 1.800.877.7290.
