Steps On How To Get Rid Of Fleas In Carpet

By Heidi Carver


There are really tiny parasites called fleas. Everyone find it hard to see them. They also find it hard to kill and get rid of these parasites.

When fleas get embedded on our carpets, all of us find that it is not easy to remove them. We should really get rid of them to protect ourselves and our homes too. There are a few steps on how to get rid of fleas in carpet.

First thing you have to do is to vacuum the carpet thoroughly. Use a proper nozzle that you would attach to your vacuum cleaner instead of just pushing it back and forth. Start at one part of the room and vacuum it thoroughly until you have done it in the entire carpet. Pay attention to the corners of your room. These parasites like hiding in dark and humid places. You should also vacuum underneath your furniture too. When you are done, throw the vacuum bag away. Better throw it at a trashcan outside your home. This is to be sure that the fleas will not come back.

If you have a furniture which is upholstered, include cleaning that too. A flea would jump onto this furniture. So, it is best to clean it particularly its base and all its seams. If it is not removed, it will just return to the carpet.

To get rid of them further, you must also steam clean your carpets and furniture. If a steam cleaner is not available, you can borrow from your neighbors or rent one. Follow the instructions on how to use the steam cleaner. You also have the option to hire a steam cleaning personnel to do that for you. A steam cleaner exerts a high temperature that can kill the parasites and its eggs too.

Use an insecticide and spray that directly to the carpets. The spray could kill the eggs. If ever you do not like using chemicals, you may use salt and some borax. Borax is really safe for humans and pets so you have nothing to be worried of. Sprinkle its mixture on the carpet and allow that to penetrate for twenty four hours.

You should also throw away the rugs and your pet bedding. This would help in removing flea. If you do not like that idea, you should wash them carefully. If you have a pet, you must also have them treated of flea. Go to a veterinarian and ask for the proper medication for pets. One must also change the diet of their pets.

If all of those steps still will not work, hire an extermination personnel. This personnel will be able to do flea treatment for your house. They will also be able to advice you on how to take care of this problem.

Those are the steps on how to get rid of those parasites. If there are parasites like these at our homes, it will really affect our health. We should also make sure that we clean our homes thoroughly.
