This article will serve as your guide on how to practice safety and caution in operating a flea bomb:

1. Purchase flea bomb of a well-known brand from a reputable store. These stores usually hire merchandisers who can give you tips on how to properly use products that are on display. They also follow a return and exchange policy just in case the flea flogger your purchased failed to work correctly. Famous brands are known to pull out their products from shelves if they are near expiry. Plus, they have a support line you can call in case you have product-related inquiries.

2. Check to see if the flea bomb contains IRG as an active ingredient. It’s the IRG that kills fleas before they could reach reproductive age.

3. It is always advised to purchase enough flea bombs to cover the entire house. This is to make sure that all infected rooms are wiped out of fleas.

4. The smoke coming from the bomb is sure to reach every nook and cranny in the room so be sure to cover all cooking and eating utensils to keep them from harmful effects of the insecticide. Fleas are known to hide in carpets or sofas so make sure that they are fully exposed to the bomb.

5. Target all things that were or are still used by your pets which include their food bowls, litter tray, beddings, and their cages.

6. Read the manual carefully before setting off the fogger. Close all doors and windows in the room or house before you get out of the room. Let the insecticide do its job in the closed room for an hour or two according to the instructions.

7. After the recommended time, go back to the room and open all doors and windows and turn on the airconditioning to remove the smell coming from the bomb. Leave the room again for an hour.

8. The manual is sure to have instructions on how to dispose of the product safely. Read them carefully. It is also imperative that you wash exposed linens and carpets as well as wipe clean all uncovered surfaces.

To make sure that all fleas have been removed and that to prevent them from infecting your pets and house again, you can do a follow-up treatment using a topical spray or flea powder.
