FAQs - Flea Control

Q - Jim

Hey Jim, hope you are having a relaxing weekend! Slowly getting the old customers back little by little. (I've had a few calling lately, that I haven't seen in over 10 years) Still plugging away at the marketing, seems what use to work a few years ago, just doesn't pull results like it use too...I think that's always been my biggest struggle is the marketing.

Well enough rambling on, what can you suggest to me for Fleas? One of my brothers long time cats, fell ill...and I think while it was resting outside, a few hopped on her.

Doesn't seem to be to severe of a case yet, but there were 4 or 5 noticeable on the cream living room carpet. Sterifab will work won't it? Only thing I didn't like about that was the alcohol fumes...Maybe you have some other suggestions? The Cat is being treated in the meantime.

Thanks for any suggestions and for the help over the years!

A - Hi Tim

I'm glad your business is recovering. Marketing has changed though; are you a member of eCleanAdvisor and do you get our weekly Clean Tip?

Sterifab will kill fleas but any eggs that have been layed will not be effected; their life cycle is such that spraying again in two weeks will usually do the trick. That said, its a job best left for professional exterminators if the situation worsens.
