Severe Indoor Flea Infestation: Vacuum, Fumigate, Treat Pets

Prevention Is Easier

Monthly spot-on (Frontline, Advantage) on pets stops establishment.

Already Infested?

1. Vacuum thoroughly—removes adults, larvae, eggs.
2. Wash pet bedding in hot water.
3. Fumigant (fogger) or professional heat treatment for severe cases.
4. EPA-certified applicator if DIY fogging fails.
5. Treat pets with vet-approved product same day.

Why It’s Hard

Egg cases (nits) resist pesticides. Cycle takes weeks. Persistence + pet treatment = success.
