Flea disinfection in an apartment by professional services

Fleas - very annoying creatures that cause continuous inconvenience. They do not ennoble the interior with their appearance; bites quite painful and can trigger a number of dangerous diseases. Disinfection from fleas in an apartment without professional assistance does not always give a positive result, so it makes sense to think about contacting specialized services. What methods, technologies are used by pest control, how much do their services cost - we will consider the example of Moscow SES.

What is the difference between professional pest control and home treatment?

Professionals are better aware of the habitat of fleas in the apartment, the characteristics of their reproduction and behavior. Flea disinsection in an apartment, a house is carried out using new technologies and highly effective insecticides, inaccessible to the average consumer. The result of the work is visible on the first day after processing.

Insecticides that use pest control are characterized by a prolonged action, do not leave spots on carpets, furniture, things and do not remind themselves of a persistent smell. Professional disinsection lasts from half an hour to 1.5 hours. Time depends on the area of ​​the processed surface. For this period, households, animals, taking home plants with them, must leave the apartment.

Methods for killing parasites

Disinfection of a house from fleas is accompanied by a preliminary visit of a specialist. He estimates the degree of infection, determines the places of accumulation of fleas, their prevalence, sources of occurrence. Based on these data, a strategy for the destruction of parasites and the scope of work are being developed. In most cases, processing requires all rooms and adjacent rooms, as fleas are very jumping and their eggs can be everywhere.

The choice of technology to eliminate insects and directly insecticidal agents is determined by the size of the population and the financial capabilities of the customer. Disinfection of an apartment from fleas can be carried out in several ways.

Cold fog

Cold fog

Irrigation with cold fog (dry fog) is carried out through an industrial generator. A working solution of a combination of insecticides is placed in the device. When sprayed, the liquid transforms into the smallest particles of 20-50 microns and spreads in the room like fog. Active components penetrate the smallest microcracks and all inaccessible places. Most flea populations die instantly.

The insecticidal cloud is in suspension for 3-4 hours and its temperature is close to room temperature. Then the substance begins to settle and forms a microfilm on all surfaces, after contact with which surviving individuals or larvae that have recently emerged from eggs die.

The processing speed of apartments with cold fog depends on the power of the equipment. The cost of the service is affected by the area that has been processed, the insecticide involved. Sanitary services offer budget drugs and premium products.It should be noted that quite often the disinfection of an apartment against fleas does not provide for pest control in public places (MOS) and you will have to pay extra for their processing.

On a note!

The cost of treating a studio apartment with cold flea fog, not including MOS, in Moscow will cost about 1800 rubles, using premium class insecticides at 3800 rubles.

Hot fog

Hot fog technology has much in common with cold fog. Only in this case, the working solution is poured into the chamber of the hot fog generator, where it is heated to a vapor state and sprayed around the apartment. Particle sizes do not exceed 20 microns and the insecticidal cloud lasts for 7-8 hours. The technology allows you to instantly destroy imago, larvae and flea eggs. After settling of the fog, an insecticidal film forms, contact with which leads to the death of the insect.

On a note!

Compared to a cold bol, hot fog is effective for the destruction of fleas and other insects that live in a house or apartment. However, its use in residential premises is not always advisable. When using this technology, a slight increase in humidity occurs in the room, which can affect the state of furniture and wallpaper. The cost of processing a one-room apartment will cost at least 4,500 rubles, and when using premium drugs 6500 rubles.

Small spray

Small-drop spraying is the classic and most budgetary method. A new generation of insecticides and modern equipment help to cope with fleas and other parasites no less effectively than fog generators do. Spraying of insecticides is carried out by means of mechanical or electric sprayers.

Preparing an apartment for professional processing

For the arrival of pest control rooms should be prepared:

  1. Wet and dry cleaning, sanitize public areas.
  2. Remove, wash, dry and pack the textiles in sealed bags.
  3. If there is an animal in the house, conduct its processing and provide him protection. For these purposes, special drops for pets are suitable: Barrier, Dana Ultra Neo, Blokhnet, Celandine. As well as anti-flea collars for cats and dogs.
  4. To move furniture closely adjacent to the walls so that it is possible to handle all hard-to-reach spots.
  5. Put food in the refrigerator.
  6. Ensure the absence of households, animals, houseplants.
  7. During the period of disinfestation, only one person remains from the inhabitants of the apartment, who will observe and control the work of the disinfector. He is given a protective mask. Some organizations rent masks for free, others charge 500 rubles.

After completion of the work, the disinfectors conduct a brief briefing. Returning to the household apartment is possible a few hours after treatment. Dry cleaning is carried out in the room and objects that you have to contact daily are washed. Floors, walls are not wet treated for several days.

Review of Moscow sanitary services

Private companies operate more efficiently and check-outs are possible on the same day.

    I had to contact the sanitary service to destroy fleas. The team worked in the apartment for about an hour. Not only fleas, but also cockroaches disappeared.

  2. Oksana

    Flea extermination services are somehow very expensive. I manage to get rid of fleas with the help of one aerosol, the price of which does not exceed 200 rubles.

    1. Alina

      Perhaps you have time to notice fleas in time, and therefore it turns out to get rid of them. And when the parasites have bred - one aerosol can no longer do.

  3. Vasiliy

    It’s easier for me to give a couple of thousand to professionals than to look for effective means to destroy fleas myself.

    1. Valery

      You may have a small footage. And when a three-room apartment and basement fleas climb out of all the cracks, then a couple of thousand can’t get by. The processing of three rooms plus MOS poured into a round sum.

  4. Rita

    I live on the ground floor and in the spring fleas start to literally attack. Self-processing of the apartment gave only a short-term effect. Having understood that the problem should be solved from the basement, I was patient and went to beat the thresholds of the state SES. A month later, the brigade arrived and processed the basement. Now I live in peace.

  5. Claudia

    Sanitary services sing sweetly until they paid money. I ordered processing of the apartment from fleas, uncles arrived, sprayed something and left, but the fleas remained. I called the manager, he promised that the guys would come and re-process. Two months have already passed, and specialists will not reach.

    1. Marina

      It is because of such hacks that the desire to contact the sanitary service disappears.

  6. Konstantin

    My wife and I rented an apartment, and there was no living creature there. We decided to order pest control in the sanitary service. They treated the apartment with cold fog, then we carried out insects with scoops for a whole week.

  7. Evgeny

    When fleas attack the ground floors, it is more profitable to order the service together. So get good discounts, which significantly saves the family budget.
