It is impossible to visually assess the degree of infection, therefore, a means for treating an apartment from fleas should effectively combat all forms of parasite development.
Before disinsection, thoroughly mechanical treatment of the apartment from fleas should be carried out using ordinary water, a vacuum cleaner and an insecticide solution.

Aerosols
Insecticidal agents in the form of an aerosol are most in demand, since they do not require preliminary dilution, have good penetrating power and allow you to process a large area in the room. The most effective are:
- Raptor - a complex aerosol preparation from the Russian manufacturer Raptor (Moscow) contains piperonyl butoxide, cypermethrin, tetramethrin. All components enhance each other's action and prevent the appearance of resistant offspring. One bottle is enough for processing 40 m2 texture-diverse surfaces. Flea treatment with Raptor kills adult insects and their larvae. The microencapsulated form of the insecticide persists even after the solution dries, which means that the insects hatched from the eggs will die over time. The tool has a prolonged action (2-3 weeks), which allows you to get rid of the entire flea population in one treatment.
- Dichlorvos - An effective drug, which differs in composition from the previously produced. Now they produce aerosol products with various prefixes - Super, Neo, Eco, etc. Dichlorvos Super and Neo contain two insecticides - cypermethrin and permethrin. Dichlorvos Eco has a pleasant aroma of lavender, and Neo has no smell. Having processed the room from fleas, it is necessary to close it, having stood for several hours. Insects begin to die in 1-2 hours. With severe infection, re-treatment after 7-10 days may be required.
- Raid - the composition of the product includes cypermethrin, which quickly and effectively destroys adult insects and larvae. The drug is released with various fragrances - the aroma of citrus, lavender, spring freshness. Raid's disadvantage is that it leaves traces of furniture after drying. But they are easy to remove with a soap-soda solution. It destroys not only one species of insects, it acts on all flying, creeping synanthropic and alien arthropods.
- Combat cylinder is equipped with a flexible nozzle that allows you to carefully process hard-to-reach spots in the apartment.Two active substances - cifenotrin and imiprotrin belong to the group of pyrethroids and have a prolonged effect.

Concentrated preparations are used in professional disinfestation of premises. From a single bottle, you can get a large amount of working solution. It is convenient when processing surfaces with high absorbency.
- Chlorpirimac - a concentrated preparation based on chlorpyrifos. To obtain a solution, 5 g of the concentrate is diluted in 1 liter of water. The resulting solution can process the floor, skirting boards, tile and stone wall coverings, soak the textiles in it.
- Get - contains chlorpyrifos, enclosed in a microcapsule. It has a prolonged action. Does not stain furniture surfaces and fabrics. It is odorless.
- Biorin - an emulsion containing deltamethrin. The tool is professional. Therefore, it is not available for sale. Instantly kills fleas and other synanthropic insects. Very toxic and requires the observance of safety measures and the use of personal protective equipment.
Important!
To protect the skin, mucous membranes and respiratory tract, you need to wear clothes that completely cover the body, goggles and a respirator. Even those products that belong to the 3-4 hazard class can cause poisoning if there is a dosage violation or an individual tendency to allergic reactions.
Powder
In order to treat a room from fleas, insecticides in the form of powders can be used. They scatter in places inaccessible to animals and children, having a lasting effect on insects.
- Peretrum - A powder made from dried flowers of Dalmatian chamomile. It can be used to prevent infection, to avoid re-infection. Powder can sprinkle things in the closet if there are linen fleas. The lack of funds - instability in the world and a short duration.
- Brownie, Fenaxin, Clean house, Fas Double - powders with various pyrethrins, which are similar in effectiveness and mode of action to the previous drug. Treating the house with insecticidal powders allows you to destroy the entire flea population in one application.
After the chemical treatment of the apartment has been carried out, it is necessary to wash with soap and soda solution only those places where the residents will touch them with their hands. Wet cleaning is not recommended for 2-3 days, and in secluded places, let the product last as long as possible.
If the apartment has a small child, then his crib and furniture in his room can be treated with a solution of drops from cat fleas. The tool is not aggressive and effective.
To treat animal litter or children's toys from fleas, you can prepare a decoction of tansy, wormwood, lavender, orange peels, pomegranate, etc. After wet cleaning, rinse all surfaces with water, in which essential oil of geranium, tea tree, cloves, lavender is added . Such a measure will not only eliminate unpleasant odors, but also scare away blood-sucking insects.

No, does not leave spots. He even processed the polished wall of his mother, only traces of dried drops of water. My mother has two cats, we are constantly processing the apartment so that fleas do not start. Not complaining.
I use only powders and chalk. I have asthma, I'm afraid that chemistry will cause an attack. Acts a little longer, but it doesn’t stink.
I invited the pest control. A little more expensive, but all the insects, even moths and flies, disappeared. I found out what they used - Biorin. Good drug.
In the country I use only Combat. It destroys fleas and smells like lemon. Sprayed, left and unnecessarily aired for a long time.
We got fleas in the carpets. They bit everyone - the daughter most of all. I bought a Raptor balloon and popped it all out onto the carpet. We slept peacefully at night. Only then I cleaned the carpet with snow so that the cat would not get poisoned.
I worked on the Raptor apartment, and then I laid out sachets with dry lavender everywhere, and bought a collar for my cat. Now the fleas are not visible. I love the smell of lavender, but the parasites did not like it.
