Fleas Inside

Fleas inside on non-carpeted rooms are effectively handled with a good vacuuming and mopping to get all stages of the flea life cycle. We can treat carpeted areas that have deep enough fibers inside by sprinkling a boric acid mixture into the fibers. This kills the flea larvae and thereby cutting off the flea life cycle.

But if your floors are wood, tile etc., or the carpets are very small or flat with a low pile, then doing a thorough and regular vacuuming and mopping is the most-effective non-chemical solution to fleas. For small area rugs you can vacuum and launder them since dryer heat for 20 to 30 minutes will kill all the fleas. When vacuuming and cleaning you really want to focus on where the pets lay down. And don’t ever remove the pet from the home! This will cause the fleas to jump on you when you pass by or trigger them.

For very thorough information there is an informative flea article on our website that describes flea biology, behavior and where and how to treat them.

If you have questions after reading that, call us at 512-443-0123 or fill out our website form here.

We specialize in long-lasting treatments using products in a way that effectively kills bugs but has no impact on people. No contracts are needed. We treat more than once a year about as often as we skip years between treatments.

Aztec’s philosophy is to provide the most effective pest control service available, having the least negative impact on people and the environment here in Austin, Texas. We use a combination of the least toxic and most effective pest control products available.

We originally offered pest control using only natural, “organic” pest control products. While we still offer that service, we now combine those products with a low-toxicity, odorless, synthetic pyrethrin (crushed chrysanthemum flower), offering a longer-lasting residual effect.
