Cat Collar Review

The benefits of using flea bombs, also known as flea foggers, is the effective elimination of fleas in and around your home. It is essentially a chemical canister that you activate and leave for 3 to 4 hours to spread a fog around the infested area.

The chemical effects of the flea fogger last over a period of months. This is to ensure the life cycle of any flea eggs that were present at the time of the fogging are killed as well. You will benefit from not having to go through the process of bombing multiple times.

When you buy flea bombs, it is best to know how many you will need to have. Flea bombs are sold in packages of multiple canisters. You will need to determine how many canisters you need for your home. The packaging lists the amount of area that one canister will cover. You can buy flea bombs in a number of stores. Some grocery stores sell flea bombs. Department and hardware stores sell flea bombs. And you can certainly find flea bombs at pet stores.

It is recommended that you completely read the packaging on the flea bomb before using, particularly because the pesticides involved can be extremely hazardous to humans and animals. General recommendations include if possible moving all large furniture off of the carpet. It is often suggested to run a vacuum over any carpet and furniture prior to using the flea bomb. This will bring any eggs and fleas up to the surface. The chemicals used in the flea bomb are flammable as well as toxic as previously discussed, so again reading the directions must be stressed.

It is also recommended that you treat your pets for fleas with one of the many topical products designed for fleas and ticks prior to bombing your home, such as flea powder, shampoo or spray.

Once you have successfully bombed your home with a flea fogger, you shouldn’t have to worry about fogging again for the remainder of the flea season. Flea Bombs provides further information on this and other flea treatment options.
