FLEAS
WHAT & WHY?
Fleas are a wingless parasite that feed on the blood of a host.
Flea bodies are narrow which enables them to move quickly through fur. They have strong rear legs for jumping, and piercing and sucking mouth parts.

Externally, we will complete a wet spray application in all areas where the pets lie: naked dirt, bedding and kennels.
You will be required to remove everything off the carpeted areas, including shoes from the base of wardrobes and toys and stored items out from under the beds.
It is a good idea to wash the pets bedding and flea treat the pets with a reputable branded flea treatment program on the treatment day.
In addition we add growth inhibitor to our chemical treatment and the chemical will take approximately 2 - 3 hours to dry.
