Someone bites you at home, but you can't see this someone? How to detect a pest? To understand that these are fleas, sheets of white paper will help. They just need to be laid out on a carpet, on a sofa, in general, where they bite most often, and watch for about 15 minutes. Small dots appearing or disappearing on paper - these are uninvited guests - fleas. Bloodsucker bite marks can be observed on open parts of the body, more often at the bottom of the legs. They itch a lot and can burn. Bites are most often located in a path.
How do fleas get into the house?
Insects enter the living quarters from the carrier, which can be a person or an animal. And they can come "for a visit" from neighbors, from the basement, from the entrance. In an 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 down in the wool of their favorite kitty or dog. Of course, washing your pet with flea shampoo will not hurt, but it won’t help much either. It will be necessary to remove the parasite in the entire apartment, and as quickly as possible, because one female lays up to 50 eggs in the dog's bedding per day, fromwhich new insects will hatch in the next couple of weeks.
Destruction of fleas
Only 5% of the family live on a pet, the remaining 95% of the members of a large flea family nestle comfortably in different parts of your apartment. Therefore, we appoint a day of general cleaning and wash everything, preferably with bleach. The palace can be shaken out and, if it is winter outside, left in the cold for a couple of days. We exterminate 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 breed in it. Wash 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, not missing upholstered furniture. Carpets and rugs should be treated especially well.
Means for the destruction of fleas "Sinuzan"
Against fleas, a 0.25% aqueous emulsion of the drug is taken. 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. Normal consumption is 50 ml per m2. Re-treatment is possible after some time, if not all insects have died.
Destruction of fleas indoors by folk methods
To fight fleas, you can use tansy, wormwood, eucalyptus. Plants need to be brewed in boiling water, left for a couple of hours and rubbed into the floor, into cracks, under baseboards, etc. This is especially good for prevention. But if there are a lot of fleas, the method is ineffective.
Pine sawdust is considered a good remedy. Fleas will leave the fur 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.
Destruction of fleas can be trusted with ordinary baking soda. Mix it with s alt in equal doses, spray it, rub the powder into the carpet with your feet or a broom so that it is not visible. Vacuum well the next day. Don't forget to shake the filter out of the vacuum cleaner. This will destroy the adults.
Destruction of fleas with the help of herbs, we have already described above. You can not brew them, but simply spread bunches of wormwood or tansy throughout the apartment.
