Preparing Your Home For The Pest Control Ocala Service

By Dr. Doug Asher


A lot of people don't seem to realize that flea control doesn't start with the pest control technician you choose. When dealing with a flea infestation there are many things you need to do to help control the situation and prevent them from getting out of hand.

The first step is to call a local pest control company or web searching Ocala Pest Control. The Bug Doctor in Ocala is one company I prefer to call because of their knowledgeable staff. They will listen to what problems you are having and give you the best advice to make sure that they are gone in one treatment and they can even help prevent future reoccurrences with simple bi-monthly services.

First of all they talk to you and try to identify how you are getting the fleas inside your home. One example is if you have a pet and they will recommend you see your vet or pick up a product like advantage or frontline as quickly as possible to stop an infestation from coming back after treatment.

When fleas are at their peak, you may want to talk to your veterinarian, about applying these topical treatments every 2-3 weeks to help. A product to also consider is Capstar, the pill that you give your pet can kill all of the fleas on your pet within 24 hours and when you also apply the topical solution of your choice, it can prevent the fleas from getting back on youre pet and in turn bringing them back into the house.

The second thing they are going to ask you to do is vacuum your carpets and furniture thoroughly and frequently before and after treatment. This will remove the eggs from the carpets and prevent infestations from the hatching fleas. You will need to empty the canister away from the house in a garbage bag and close it up. If you have vacuum bags throw them away in an outside canister and seal it in a garbage bag.

If you like to get more information or a chance to meet with a technician in the Pest Control Ocala field, give your local office a call.
