Not so simples. I think you'll find it's a specialised field best left to specialists.

If you think spraying insecticide on a carpet is specialist then your either a fool or dumb!

That's a bit aggresive, isn't it. >:(
I know someone who specialises in this sort of thing and it is anything but simple, especially as you could be dealing with some pretty harsh chemicals.

Last few years I've stopped using flea treatments etc. just not a good idea anymore for carpet cleaners. Stick to cleaning carpets.

So how do you apply the insecticide treatment Wynne? Do you spray on, let dwell then clean th carpet as per usual? Or clean first then spray the treatment and leave in the carpet to do its magic?

In the past I've used the sachets in the rinse.

Apart from the fact I'm not a qualified pest controller, the only really effective active ingredient is really onlyt for pro use.

Besides, just cos you see a flea in a carpet doesn't mean that's where they all live. Also using the fog bombs is just courting trouble for yourself in this day and age.

I tell them I can steam clean the carpet but you need a professional pest controler to guarantee. However on EOT where it's a requirement I have another tactic to cover this.

Spray and go back in 14 days then clean or you can just spray the product and leave.I have touch wood not one failure in all the places I have treated using this product.

On Monday night we had an invasion of ants in our house wife bought one of those mouse repellent plugs and it obviously disturbed the ants as well sprayed product all were dead within a couple of hours
