Eggs are laid by a flea on your pet, then they drop off onto the floor or bedding, to develop later into fleas. Sometimes a huge population will build up, completely out of site. They can then develop in waves and infest any pets in the house. Even houses with no carpets are at risk - fleas can easily develop in the gaps between floor boards, skirting boards etc. Every little crevice at floor level in your house needs to be sprayed to prevent fleas from becoming a nuisance. Treatment at the sart of the warm weather, before fleas have taken hold, is recommended. Acclaim household flea spray is used to eradicate or prevent flea
infestations in the home. One 500ml can is enough to treat 140 square
metres and will kill fleas for 6 months, but more importantly it will
prevent them breeding for 12 months. Fleas become a pest when they breed
in nooks and crannies around your home, building up a large population,
most of which is not on your pets at any one time, so cannot be treated
by products applied to them. Treating your house for fleas makes more
sense than treating your animals sometimes, because there can be as many
as 100 developing fleas in the environment for every 1 flea on your pet! Eggs
