Before answering the question of how to get fleas, I would like to introduce readers to this insect species in more detail.
About two thousand different types of fleas are known all over the world, approximately one fourth of them live in our country, and only 2-3 species can live in a person’s dwelling. Say quite a bit? Well, let's say, in order to make our life unbearable, one is quite enough. Fleas are vampires by nature, i.e. they feed on the blood of all warm-blooded animals, including, of course, humans. In addition to the fact that the bites of these insects are very painful, and the itching will cause unpleasant sensations for a long time, fleas are also carriers of various infections.
How does this happen? From its victim, a flea becomes infected with a certain infectious disease, for example, plague or typhoid, and after that for about a year it retains the ability to tolerate the disease.
Flea control measures must be taken immediately after you have discovered at least one single representative of this type of insect in your apartment. In no case do not wait until they breed, and there will be too many of them.
Today, a huge assortment of flea remedies is available in stores, both in the form of aerosols in cans and in special ampoules. Using one of them is not difficult. This must be done before their mass settlement has occurred. In the event that you purchase a drug in ampoules specifically designed to combat crawling insects, dilute it in water with the strict observance of all the instructions on the packaging.
Ask a question about how to bring fleas to older people and, most likely, hear in response that dichlorvos is the best and most effective remedy. And, in fact, this tool, although it is very outdated, but nevertheless, will help you solve the problem. However, dichlorvos is far from a harmless means, and in order to begin processing the apartment, house and any other building, you will have to remove all people, pets from the premises, take out an aquarium and a bird cage. And also make sure that all the remaining products in the house are carefully covered or packaged.
It is necessary to spray this type of aerosol at a height of half a meter, moreover, without missing a single gap.
As a rule, on the packaging of many products it is written that you can start cleaning the apartment, about half an hour after the disinfection. I would recommend leaving the room after processing for at least a couple of hours, without forgetting to close all windows and doors tightly. Walls and floors can only be washed after 4-5 days.
It is assumed that you will be able to get rid of the insects themselves after the first treatment, but you should not forget that their offspring can hatch again in a few days from already laid eggs . If it falls on the treated surface, the insect will die, but be vigilant - if after a couple of weeks they appear sleepy, then the question of how to remove fleas from your home will need to be decided more radically.
However, it also happens that an insect settles not only in your apartment, but also in neighboring rooms, say in the house of neighbors or in the entrance of an apartment building. In this case, it becomes simply useless to independently deal with them.
Then how to get fleas in such a situation? Ask for help from specialists! Firms specializing in this area use special highly effective professional tools.
And in general, remember that it is recommended to deal with this scourge cardinally, otherwise from the very beginning get ready for the fact that you will need to deal with the processing again and again.
