Title: Flea removal solution?
Post by: benny d on April 03, 2008, 04:07:52 pm: I have been asked by a Rental company to clean a property at short notice tomorrow. They asked me if I use a flea removal solution as it is their contract that the cleaner will use such a solution.
I said that I will use a deodorizers, and that is ok for them on this occasion, but can I look into flea removal?

So are there any solutions that I can purchase especially made for getting rid of fleas?
Thanks in advance
Ben

Very very hot water will kill the males, the females love it though and will bask in it for hours, especially if you light a candle.

Need to do it regularly if the pet (cat / dog whatever) are still about.

Ive used a Polti Vaporetto but now use a Home Tek floor steamer. Lots of others about.
