Using Flea Bombs To Get Rid Of Fleas From Your House

Posted by in -Home Safety & Security

Drastic measures are needed to reclaim your home from a flea infestation. Fleas are annoying little pests who feed on animals and humans alike. Getting rid of fleas from your home requires comprehensive methods which include treating both your pets and your home simultaneously. Using potent and effective flea treatments such as sprays and bombs are the best way to get rid of fleas for good.

Using Flea Treatments

There are several methods which are used to kill fleas. The popular methods include chemical sprays and the use of flea bombs. The active ingredient, insecticide, is used in all three of these treatments. The difference is the application of the insecticide. Foggers and bombs work in a similar manner. The insecticide is placed in a can. The can is placed in a flea infested location and the handle or “trigger” is pulled which emits a cloud or vapor. The insecticide is dispersed through the room killing fleas at any developmental stage. Insecticide sprays are just as effective as the bombs and foggers. However, they are used for minor treatments for carpets or small areas.

Cautions Associated with Flea Treatments

When you use flea bombs, foggers and sprays the utmost caution should be taken. While insecticides are great for killing fleas, their effects on pets and people are hazardous. Chemicals in flea treatments have been known to cause seizures in dogs. Thoroughly follow the directions provided on the container. Keep all flea treatments aware from sources of heat or electricity as the contents are under pressure and are extremely flammable.

Safe Flea Fighting Solutions

If the use of flea bombs and other treatments is not appealing because of the chemicals, there are safer flea fighting solutions available. It should be noted that while these alternatives are non-hazardous many of them will not kill fleas as potently as traditional methods. Multiple applications will be necessary.

While the use of flea bombs and other insecticide treatments are usually effective, sometimes the fleas are resilient and just won’t die. For such cases, it is best to seek the assistance of a pest control company that has the experience and the tools for more serious flea infestations.
