Fleas
As all development stages of the flea will be found in the habitat of the host, it is essential that this area is thoroughly treated. If there is any pet that might carry fleas then this animal must be treated using an insecticide shampoo or powder obtainable from your veterinarian. The bedding of the animal must be cleaned regularly. If you use a vacuum then it is advisable to use a small amount of crawling insect powder inside the bag.
It is often necessary to make two treatment visits as flea eggs and pupae have a high degree of resistance to insecticides and can survive without feeding for many months.
Typical costs
