Get rid of your flea infestation, and you, your family, and your pets will all breathe a little easier.

Step 1: Catch problem
Catch the problem early. At the first signs of fleas, aggressively treat your pet and home at the same time.

Step 2: Talk to vet
Talk to your veterinarian before purchasing a collar or any flea treatment.

Step 3: Find best treatment
Find the best, safest treatment available, and understand what chemicals are being used or any side effects that can occur.

Step 4: Remove pets
Remove your pets to a temporary home before using any spray or bomb. The house should be aired out before you bring your pet back into the house.

Step 5: Vacuum
Vacuum daily, and wash your pet's bedding in hot water. Seal vacuum bags and immediately remove them from the house.

Step 6: Get carpet cleaned
Get your carpet and upholstery professionally cleaned.

Tip
Have your carpet treated with an anti-flea mineral salt.

Step 7: Wash pet
Wash your pet with a hypoallergenic shampoo and use a flea comb every day. Live fleas and eggs that are combed out should be dipped into soapy water then discarded.
