Frequently Asked Questions
Can I have fleas without having pets?
Yes. Fleas can be brought in on clothing, carpets and used furniture, and they can bite people too.
My cat has been treated. Why are there still fleas?
Immature flea stages may remain in carpets and furniture. The home needs attention as well as the pet.
How long does treatment take?
2 sessions over approximately 20 days. Monitoring for 2–3 months is important.
What if I only vacuum?
Vacuuming helps, but it may not resolve the infestation on its own. Professional assessment can guide further treatment.
Do I need to leave the home?
Yes. People and pets must leave for the period confirmed by your technician and the product label. Treated surfaces must be dry before re-entry.
Can I wash everything?
Washing helps, but not everything is washable. Professional treatment complements household cleaning.
