Fleas can readily take over any house or apartment if given the chance. Areas left untreated can quickly become a flea breeding ground inside as explained in our FLEA CONTROL article. Cats, dogs and many other common household pets can all contribute to such an infestation and though most people think fleas come from "outside", in most cases the key to getting rid of the fleas is to treat inside.

Flea infestation remedies range from liquid to aerosol to powder to granules. Clearly products like PRECOR 2000 and PERMETHRIN and NYLAR applied to carpeting and hardwood floors can do wonders at reducing the local flea population. But the ONCE A YEAR FLEA GRANULES are very effective and one of the most mild treatment options currently available. Odorless and long lasting, I suggest this flea remedy quite often and our customers love it. Simply sprinkle it out, broom it into the carpet and you're done for a good year. Combine this treatment with some FLEA TRAPS and you'll be able to keep the house protected without having the inconvenience of normal flea sprays.

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.
