Carpet cleaning is not a good substitute for professional flea treatments. Pest control services are essential for eliminating adult fleas, larvae, and eggs from carpeting, furniture, walls, and other places they could be hiding in. However, it is a great idea to have your carpets professionally steam cleaned AFTER these services have been provided to rinse away all the dead insects, chemical residue, and other unhealthy particles that have accumulated in the carpet fiber.
If you have pets in the home, it is essential to implement flea control measures such as regular pet treatments (topical or internal), vacuuming, and working alongside a reputable pest control company if the flea infestation persists. This multifaceted approach will ensure a more effective, longer-lasting solution.
