Is it always necessary to "bomb" a house in conjunction with treating your pets for fleas?

Posted on December 29, 2001

Question:
Chuck - Is it always necessary to "bomb" a house in conjunction with treating your pets for fleas to insure against any relapse of infestation? What products do you recommend for both treatment of the animals and the area that they live in. Thanks.....Ken

Answer:
It is very important for best results to take care of all three areas within close proximity of time.. animal,house,yard. If any of the three are left undone, you could suffer a reinfestation. Our Enforcer bomb has an ingredient called IGR which keeps the flea egg from hatching for seven months. This ensures that any eggs in the house when you bomb and any that are brought in later will not hatch. Be aware that the pupae stage is not effected by any insecticides so an hour after you bomb you can still have adult fleas that have hatched out after the bombing. If these are in great numbers a daily application to those areas with Enforcer Household Spray can be made for the next ten days after which they should have subsided; in most instances this is not necessary. Also, if these adults lay eggs they will never hatch if the Enforcer IGR bomb was used. See us today so we can help you with ways to make your application of Enforcer flea products more effective.
