Before Treatment:
Pick up all clothing and toys from the floor making as much carpet accessible as possible. Take any throw rugs into kitchen or non-carpeted area. Vacuum all carpet and rugs, then throw away the vacuum bag to get rid of the fleas that were vacuumed up. Turn up the cushions on the couch, remove and wash all bed linens. Don't forget to wash the pets bedding as well. If you have fish tanks, turn off the filters and put a wet towel over the top of the tank. All people, pets and pet toys will need to be out of the structure for a minimum of four hours. After four hours, you can test the carpet with a napkin to see if it is dry, if not, wait another hour and test it again. Once the carpets are dry it is safe for you and your pets to re-enter.

After Treatment:
As soon as you return, vacuum the carpets and throw the vacuum bag out again. You will be vacuuming up flea eggs that will hatch and re-infest the house if not disposed of. If your pets are not already on a flea management program, now is the time to get them started.
