What should you do if there are fleas at home?

1. Thoroughly clean the home environment with a vacuum cleaner, especially the places where pets often sleep. After vacuuming, wrap the garbage in the vacuum cleaner's garbage bag with a plastic bag and throw it out of the house. Usually a vacuum cleaner can remove 50% of flea eggs.

2. Use adulticides such as carpet powder, sprays, etc. to kill the fleas remaining in the environment. Note that sprays should also be used to clear invisible dead corners such as under furniture, and when choosing products you should take other conditions in the home into consideration.

3. In order to prevent flea eggs and larvae from growing into adults, it is necessary to use flea sprays containing ingredients that control larval growth. Many products have both functions, and can both kill the remaining adults and prevent the growth of larvae.

4. The bedding in the pet bed at home should be washed once a week, and the area near the pet bed should also be sprayed with a spray used for environmental treatment. At the same time, do not forget to treat the car, the bags and boxes used when taking pets out, or other places pets often go.

1. If bitten by a flea, you can first spray Liushen itch-relieving floral water, and then apply fluocinolone acetonide acetate cream.

4. Immediately change all the clothes on your body, and soak the clothes in water. The water should preferably cover the clothes. Fleas are most afraid of water, so this can drown the fleas and avoid being bitten again.

5. The bitten area can be smeared with Liweishi essential oil to relieve itching and fade scars. Apply it once every other day, and the swelling can be reduced in three days, and the scar can be faded in one week.
