Fleas are not just a problem outdoors, they can harbor almost anywhere in your home. Carpet, rugs, furniture, pet bedding, and even cracks in wood flooring and floor tile joints can be susceptible. Treating your pet is just the first step of an effective flea defense program and should be accompanied by solutions for the environment (inside and/or outside).
Adult fleas account for only about 5% of the total flea population, so it is imperative to target all the different stages of their life cycle to gain complete elimination and control.
