There’s never just a single flea. Ask any homeowner who has dealt with an infestation, and you’ll find that fleas are a real problem for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that they reproduce excessively, leading to infestation faster than you can imagine. Fortunately, there are several things you can do to keep them out of your life.
- Treat your pets.
You can use an over-the-counter treatment, but you’ll get long lasting results if you go with something your vet suggests instead. Don’t forget to wash your pet’s bedding on a regular basis, too, after you’ve treated your pets to avoid any lingering fleas. - Keep the floor clean. Sweep and vacuum on a regular basis if you want to keep the fleas out. Remember that if you’re vacuuming fleas up, you’ll want to empty the bag as soon as possible to make sure they don’t escape.
- Kill the clutter. One sure way to keep the fleas out of your home is to make sure that it’s as clutter free as possible. If you can get the toys, clothes, and other stored items off the floor and into closets or other storage areas, you have a far greater chance at successfully fighting infestation.
