Flea Prevention: Cleaning, Bedding & Pet Coordination
The existing SLV flea guidance recommends thorough vacuuming, handling vacuum contents outdoors, clearing floor clutter and pet toys, laundering pet bedding, and coordinating animal care with a veterinarian.
Prepare Carpets, Upholstery, and Pet Bedding
Before treatment, the existing FAQ advises thoroughly vacuuming carpets, rugs, and upholstered furniture, disposing of vacuum contents outdoors, picking up clutter and pet toys from floors, and washing pet bedding in hot water (60°C or above).
The treatment guidance also emphasizes vacuuming carpets, rugs, and pet resting mats before service.
Follow Up and Coordinate Pet Care
After treatment, the FAQ advises waiting until treated surfaces are thoroughly dry before re-entering and continuing to vacuum carpets and rugs every 2 to 3 days for the next 2 weeks.
The site explains that environmental pest control treats premises, not animals, and recommends consulting a qualified veterinarian about care for the pet host.
