Vacuum everything – carpets, upholstered furniture, cracks in the floorboard, and any other fabrics. This should remove adult fleas, but also the eggs, larvae and pupae. Wash all your sheets and bedding – ideally, use a hot wash on a long cycle. Wash your pets’ bedding in a hot wash – do this every week for a month, or until the infestation is over. Use flea home spray on your carpets and furniture - to kill any remaining eggs and larvae. Use topical flea treatment on your pet – topical treatments like Frontline can be used once a month to kill and avoid fleas on your pet. After using the insecticide (flea spray), let the area dry and then vacuum it thoroughly to get rid of any surviving fleas. Remember, you may not be able to get rid of them in one go because of the life cycle of the flea. These become adult fleas in 14 days or lay dormant in carpet or furniture fabric until disturbed.

Treat quickly: If you spot fleas on your pet, treat them quickly, as they can give your cat or dog tapeworms and diseases. Flea treatments: prevent and get rid of fleas by regularly using flea treatment for your pets. See your vet for advice on the best flea products that will work for your pet. It's essential to treat both your pet and your home, as fleas can survive in the environment without a host for many months. Clean bedding regularly and vacuum furniture, floors and skirting boards to help destroy fleas at each stage of their lifecycle. Throw away the dust bag from your vacuum after each use to prevent any flea eggs and larvae from developing. Treat regularly: you may need to treat your pet and home for fleas all year round if your home is centrally heated. Only give your pet flea treatment that's been recommended for them, ideally one prescribed by your vet.
