Flea Control
Fleas
Fleas live for one purpose, to feed on the blood an unsuspecting host. If that host dies or is removed from the home, the adult fleas will actively seek a new host. Flea life cycles consist of four stages: egg, larva, pupae, and adult. Egg and pupal stages protect growing fleas from pesticides and their effect, making flea control a cooperative process with the homeowner and their Pronto technician.
The "Home" Work
Prior to treatment, you should:
- Remove all toys, clothing, and stored items from floors, under beds, and in closets, in order to provide access for treatment.
- Remove pet food and water dishes, cover fish tanks, and disconnect their air pumps.
- Wash, dry clean, or destroy all pet bedding.
- Vacuum all carpets, floors, throw rugs, and upholstery, especially in areas where pets rest or sleep.
Indoor Application
Application of a residual product is not enough. Pronto combines thorough precision residual treatment with IGR's (insect growth regulators) to provide the fastest flea control. Your Pronto technician will pay special attention to areas where any pets spend time or sleep.
