Why do fleas seem more active after treatment? ๐ค๐
It's common to notice increased flea activity during the first 1โ2 weeks after a professional flea treatment. This doesn't necessarily mean the treatment isn't working. As the product takes effect, adult fleas become more active before they die.
Flea eggs are a different challenge. Because the eggs have a protective outer shell, they aren't affected until they hatch. Once new fleas emerge, they come into contact with the treatment and follow the same process.
That's why a hot steam carpet clean before flea treatment is often recommended. Steam cleaning helps remove a significant number of flea eggs, larvae, and organic debris from carpet fibres, allowing the flea control treatment to work more effectively.
Every flea infestation is different, so our trained and certified technicians begin with a thorough inspection before recommending the most appropriate treatment plan for your home.
