✅ Thoroughly vacuum all carpeted flooring. Dispose of vacuum bag in a sealed container in the outside trash.
✅ For extra control, place a piece of an over the counter flea collar on the inside of the vacuum bag to kill any live fleas caught in the bag.
✅ If the vacuum is bag-less be sure you thoroughly empty the debris and insects in the outdoor trash bin. Also be sure to clean the container.
✅ Make sure the floor, furnishing, and trim are as accessible as possible. This may mean placing smaller pieces of furniture on top of larger pieces or pulling other furniture away from the wall if you are able.
