Someone bites you at home, but can't see someone? How to detect a pest? Sheets of white paper will help to understand that these are fleas. They just need to be laid out on the palace, on the couch, in general, where they bite most often, and watch for about 15 minutes. The small dots appearing and disappearing on paper are the uninvited guests - fleas. Traces of bites from bloodsuckers can be observed on open parts of the body, often below the legs. They are very itchy and can burn. Bites are located most often by the track.
How do fleas get into the house?
Insects enter the living room from a carrier, which may be a person or an animal. And they can come "stay" with neighbors, from the basement, from the entrance. In the apartment, fleas settle at a height of one meter. They find shelter in crevices, in clothes, in soft toys, in furniture, in carpets and rugs. With great pleasure, they will settle in the hair of your favorite pussy or dog. Of course, washing your pet with flea shampoo will not hurt, but it will not help much. The parasite will have to be hatched throughout the apartment, and as quickly as possible, because in one day one female lays up to 50 eggs in the dog's litter, of which new insects will hatch in the next couple of weeks.
Killing fleas
Only 5% of the family lives on a pet, the remaining 95% of the members of a large flea family comfortably nest in different parts of your apartment. Therefore, we assign a day of general cleaning and wash everything, preferably with bleach. The palace can be shaken out and if it is winter outside, leave it in the cold for a couple of days. We destroy fleas with a vacuum cleaner, and we eliminate dust not only from the floor, but also from upholstered furniture. Be sure to shake out the filter, otherwise fleas will divorce in it. Remodel curtains, soft toys, etc.
From top to bottom we spray the walls and floor with special preparations, do not miss a single centimeter. It is necessary to spray every square meter, without letting in upholstered furniture. Carpets and rugs should be especially well treated.
Sinusan flea exterminator
0.25% aqueous emulsion of the drug is taken against fleas. It is necessary to process, as already mentioned above, the walls (at least 1 m from the floor), the floor, any gap, under the baseboards. Normally, the consumption of the product is 50 ml per m 2 . Re-processing is possible after some time, if not all insects died.
Destruction of fleas in the room by folk methods
To combat fleas, you can use tansy, wormwood, eucalyptus. Plants need to be boiled in boiling water, insisted for a couple of hours and rubbed into the floor, in cracks, under the baseboard, etc. Such a prophylactic is especially good. But if there are a lot of fleas, the method is ineffective.
Pine sawdust is considered a good remedy. Fleas will leave the hair of a cat that sleeps on a mattress with such a filler.
These parasites do not like frost. As a rule, they disappear in winter, but only until spring.
The destruction of fleas can be entrusted to ordinary baking soda. Mix it with salt in equal doses, spray, with your feet or with a broom rub the powder into the palace so that it is not visible. Vacuum the next day. Remember to shake the filter out of the vacuum cleaner. So you destroy the adults.
The destruction of fleas with the help of herbs we have already described above. You can not brew them, but simply spread out bunches of wormwood or tansy throughout the apartment.
