Fly-Bye Flea Traps for Home, Truly Replicates Animal Body Heat, Unscented, White

Product Information

I have sent my two shag rugs off to get professionally cleaned. I’m also having them do a treatment for ridding dust mites, which I heard can sometimes also work on fleas. The temperature in which they wash is over 200 degrees F. Will this kill/remove any and all stages of the flea or is there more I would need to do?

Products of this type are typically versatile and are effective against different types of insects. Fleas undergo a complete conversion cycle including the egg, larva, pupa, and adult insect stages. During each stage, an IGR acts the same, preventing the insects in any given stage from moving to the next one. But it is natural, which may be vital for you if you don’t like to use harsh chemicals or have an aversion to ingredients commonly used. It’s a trigger spray too, so can eliminate the risk of airborne particles by offering more targetted liquid spraying. The spray has a dual action and controls insects on all life stages. It contains an IGR which doesn’t let the eggs hatch into adult biters. However, IGR acts slowly which is why it is normally combined with fast-acting insecticides that kill adults and larvae. It can be applied at homes, in garages, kennels, on carpets, rugs, wood flooring, tile, drapery, furniture, cushions, pet sleeping & bedding areas, which is literally everywhere indoors. The users claim that before applying the spray, it is necessary to move the furniture in the room, vacuum clean everything, spray the surface and leave it to dry. It’s better to remove pets and children from the room, and an exterminator should wear a protective mask! You may need to spray for a second time within a few days, and do not forget to vacuum clean the room every two days after the treatment.It contains Margosa, Citronella, Eucalyptus and Peppermint. These all have their own job and can repel fleas as they don’t like the smells, so is a bit more humane. Simply put, flea traps do work but only for removing them in certain areas (e.g. the lounge). They need to be used as part of an overall flea control plan that involves killing flea eggs, putting preventative measures in place to keep them away and treating your dogs for fleas (or your cats, etc.) Just to make things perfectly clear, these traps will not solve any fleas that may be lurking on your pets, they will completely ignore them! I dont think I have a heavy infestation as I dont see fleas on me or see any jumping like others say.

For cat treatment, you’d better combine systemic (oral products based on IGR) and spot-on treatments (drops). Shampoos, combs, dusts and collars are also effective. Remember that permethrin-based products should never be used on cats. Find more information in our guide How to Get Rid of Fleas on Cats Fast. Added to this, when it comes to household flea infestations, actual adult fleas that can move around on their own and that will be attracted to the light make up only around 5% of the total flea count of your home; the egg, larvae and pupae stages of flea development, none of which will be attracted to a flea trap, will account for the vast majority of the total flea count in your home. Chemical-free, odourless and safe to use around children and pets (so you don’t have to cut off the room), it attracts fleas via a 7W heat lamp. Fleas love warmth, which is why they prefer your pet’s soft fur to your bare skin. As you understand, natural products are less effective than powerful chemicals. So, we recommend that you first combine several organic flea killers for home, such as a spray and diatomaceous earth. The team here at Petz also have experience using flea products, like many pet owners. Having used the Virbac Spray and Acclaim Household Spray within the team regularly and over some years, we knew they had to be our biggest recommendations. They both got to work fast, and while they can’t work alone, we noticed a clear reduction in fleas from the spray vs just vacuuming alone.If you want a product you can use outside on plants and patio areas for full flea coverage this could be ideal, as it won’t harm your plants or other wildlife. I have loads of Tealights, but I am very worried to use them because of fire, but I guess as they are surrounded by water the risk is less, If you are worried about these issues, opt for a treatment that doesn’t contain the ingredient, but when used safely and following strict guidelines, it shouldn’t have a negative effect on animals. Always air a room fully after application. Natural vs Synthetic flea treatments – which is best?

Each disc lasts for a few weeks, but regular changing offers the most effective results. It comes with three discs and there are further refills available, so you can use them all year round and not just for temporary measures. If used 24/7, it could also act as a first-step sign to the presence of fleas on your pet before the itching starts. Traps are considered to be an effective method for eliminating adult fleas indoors: They are attracted by the combination of baits and the adhesive agent won’t let them out. According to the scientists from the University of Florida, “Fleas will gravitate towards sources of warmth and light. Adult fleas are highly mobile and are attracted to the traps while foraging at night.” A flea spray can also be used as a preventative measure every so often, such as monthly at the same time as the reapplication of spot-on topical treatments for your pet. Summer is a particularly vital time to protect your home when the weather is hotter and fleas are more prominent in the heat. This is particularly relevant if you take your dog on walks in the grass or your cat is outdoors. Natural flea repellents and products are often not recommended as they aren’t as effective and often just repel as opposed to killing the fleas. Treat your pet effectively using a cat flea treatment or dog flea treatment, wash soft furnishings on a very high heat and regularly vacuum and steam carpets and surfaces which you cannot wash.Indorex spray will also kill house dust mites for up to two months after application. These are common allergens for dogs (and humans) in the home and can cause further itching and irritation. False. Many people try to use bug bombs and foggers, but the Department of Health & Mental Hygiene, NY specialists, warn: “Foggers and bug bombs are not effective against them.” This is so because the sprayed droplets of the synthetic fog cannot penetrate the hidden spots inhabited by the bugs. The pyrethroid also has shown a toxic effect on rats and other small animals, so do the same with these. Lastly, it is highly toxic to aquatic mammals, so remove fish tanks before using flea sprays. It is good when used alongside sprays beforehand, which can offer more targetted results on areas where your pet may favour such as the sofa or around their bed. Also bear in mind that they will set off any smoke alarms so disable these first. Place on a fire-safe surface.
