How to get rid of fleas in your house: treat the home and your pets at the same time. Local Roanoke, VA tips plus a free inspection from Mill Mountain. Repeated cleaning helps remove developing fleas, while pet treatment should be coordinated with a veterinarian.
DIY steps to try first
Vacuum every day
Concentrate on carpets, upholstered furniture, floor gaps, and the places pets rest. Regular removal matters more than one quick pass through the room.
Wash the resting spots
Wash pet bedding and washable bedding pets lie on, following fabric care instructions. Clean around favorite chairs and sleeping areas, too.
Coordinate pet care
Ask your veterinarian about a suitable flea product for each pet. Follow the species, weight, and age directions; never put a dog-only product on a cat.
Do not apply household or yard pesticides to an animal. A room treatment does not replace appropriate veterinary flea care.
