Steve

Is the property empty?

Apply evenly all over, paying special attention to the edges, under tv units, side units, sofas etc( if applicable) as this is where fleas will lay dormant.

It is very important not to vacuum the carpets for 14 days as this period
 is the life cycle of a flee. Any fleas that hatch after the application, should die. Then you or custy just vacuum them up.

Even if rentokil did the job, they would advise custy not to vacuum for 14 days!

As i said before, it may be necessary for a 2nd application so bear this in mind.

Thanks Steve.

No the property isnt empty but quite bare as the tennants have only recently moved in.

Ive already mentioned the not vaccing for 14 days and they are fine with that.

Do you think 3ltrs will cover...its just a standard terraced house.

Also is it vital/important to wear a mask?

Thanks again

Hi Steve

Sorry have only just logged backed in.

How did you get on with the job?

I always mask up and wear disposable overalls.

 I mask up as a precaution and wear overalls to prevent the possibility of taking any fleas home with me!
