A flea infestation can cause discomfort for everyone in the household and, what used to be very seasonal has become a year round problem due to a relatively mild climate and the use of central heating in our homes.

Can you do two rooms shut the doors and remain in the apartment with the treated rooms shut off? How long does this spray last?

I have indoor cats can I move them to one room while I do the rest of the house then after an hour, as it says wait one hour on the spray I use, move them to the rest of the house and do the final room?

Hi, thanks for your great question! When using flea house spray, you need to make sure all pets and fish are removed from the rooms that you are going to treat . Move them to a well ventilated area that is well away from the rooms that need treatment. Once the other rooms have been treated , follow manufacturer's instructions timelines on how long you should leave it before allowing pets back in. Once those rooms are safe to use you can move your pets back in and then treat the room that's not yet been treated 🐾

Hi there, thanks for your question 🙂 Don't use the house spray on your bed or your pet's bed, but instead strip the bedding and wash it on a high temperature. Vacuum the mattress thoroughly both sides and vacuum the base, remember to move the bed and vacuum the area beneath. Treat the room with the spray, following manufacturers instructions. Good luck! 🐾
