A flea bomb works by generating a mist of insecticide in your house. This method will not just kill the fleas but also destroy the eggs. The following information will show you how to use this product.
How to Use the Bomb in a House
Step 1
Buy a bomb with an IGR ingredient. This will prevent the fleas from getting to the reproductive age. Be certain you buy enough bombs for the whole house. Many of these bombs are made only to work for a
specific number of rooms or area.
Step 2
Prepare several newspapers and masking tape.
Step 3
Cover all cookware with the masking tape. Or you can remove them from the house in the meantime. Cover all food containers.
Step 4
Remove as many furniture as possible off the carpet. This will help the bombs treat the carpet more effectively.
Step 5
Everyone should vacate the house, including all pets. If there is a fish tank, remove it too. Pet beds, bird cages and litters must also be removed from the house.
Step 6
Position the bomb in the center of the area or room to be treated. Place the newspapers beneath and around the bomb. Follow the package instructions on how to set the bomb off. Vacate the premises immediately.
Step 7
Go back to the house after the time specified in the bomb user guide. Remove the tape from the windows. Wash all the clothing, sheets, towels etc in the house. Vacuum the rugs and carpets. Wipe the surface of all the tables.
Step 8
If you didn’t take out the dishes, wash them thoroughly. Perform a general cleanup on all furniture and appliances. This will remove any residue from the bomb.
How to Flea Bomb the Yard
Step 1
Determine how big of an area you need to bomb. Buy enough bombs to meet this need.
Step 2
Clean up the yard first. Remove the debris and leaves in the area where you will put the bomb. Unless the yard is cleaned, the bomb may not work.
Step 3
Put the bomb in the appropriate place. Fleas like to hide in moist, shady places in the yard. Put the other bombs in the needed areas.
Step 4
Follow the product directions on how to turn the bomb on. The information will vary per product. Follow the instructions carefully. Ideally the bomb should be set as soon as the temperature starts to climb up.
Step 5
Water the yard after using the bomb. Make sure all residues are removed before letting pets and people go there. This is very important.
Warnings
Make sure your pets are nowhere near the yard when you set the bomb off. Also make sure the bomb is far away from waterways. Setting off the bomb near waterways will soak the bomb up. It is also unhealthy for the environment.
The flea bomb is one of the best ways to get rid of persistent fleas. By following the instructions carefully, these parasites will soon be a thing of the past.
