A Guideline On How To Get Rid Of Fleas In Carpet

By Heidi Carver


A flea is a nearly microscopic parasite. It is a challenge on how to see it. It is also a challenge for someone to exterminate it and get free from it.

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 there are any upholstered furniture in your house, you should clean it as well. Fleas often jump into our furniture. So, it is better to clean them especially at the base and the seams. If they are not removed from there, they would just come back to your carpet.

To be free from them, a person can use a steam cleaner on their carpets and their furniture. If no steam cleaner is available, one can just borrow from his neighbor or rent a machine. Follow the given instructions on how you could use the machine. Hiring an expert from the steam cleaning company is another option for you. Steam cleaners is capable of exerting high temperature that could kill fleas and the eggs.

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.

Throw those rugs and those pet bedding. It can help you in removing the flea. If one does not like to throw it, a person must wash it thoroughly. If one has pets, they should give them some flea treatment. Visit the veterinarian and inquire about that type of medication. It is best to change the diet of the 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.
