Flea removal solution?
« on: April 03, 2008, 04:07:52 pm »
I have been asked by a Rental company to clean a property at short notice tomorrow. They asked me if I use a flea removal solution as it is their contract that the cleaner will use such a solution.
I said that I will use a deodorizers, and that is ok for them on this occasion, but can I look into flea removal?

So are there any solutions that I can purchase especially made for getting rid of fleas?
Thanks in advance
Ben

What was the name of the stuff that Craftex used to ( or still does ) sell, just a white packet with orange writing? That was good and killed everything, was quite cheap as well and easy to use.

Very very hot water will kill them but if you clean and then post apply you've got it covered.

Very very hot water will kill the males, the females love it though and will bask in it for hours, especially if you light a candle.

you may kill the feas but you wont kill the eggs without boming the place and if its bad you may have to use three bombs to clear the place , also watchout for biscit bugs you may find some of them if theres been a dog in the house

Steam the carpets will kill the fleas and destroy the eggs.
Need to do it regularly if the pet (cat / dog whatever) are still about.

Ive used a Polti Vaporetto but now use a Home Tek floor steamer. Lots of others about.
