    Feedback

    They did not know how to cope with the genital fleas that have recently appeared in our apartment. Friends advised Dichlorvos. For a long time I doubted its effectiveness, but then still decided to apply. The result - fleas disappeared without a trace. Recommend.

  • after disinsection of all surfaces and “problem” places, it is necessary to maintain the room without air for at least two hours;
  • ventilate the room, but postpone wet cleaning for 5 days, so that the applied insecticidal agent for genital fleas copes with the problem as much as possible.

In order to avoid re-infection of the apartment with dangerous insects, it is necessary to periodically wet clean using any disinfectants, regularly ventilate the premises, dispose of food waste and thoroughly vacuum all carpets. To prevent the appearance of reproductive fleas, you can use dusting powders or use folk recommendations by hanging fragrant herbs with pungent odors.

Feedback

To prevent fleas from appearing in the apartment, I constantly wash the floors with the addition of vinegar, and treat the carpets with a solution of soda.
