Home Flea Eradication Kit for Cats & Dogs Get Rid of Fleas in Home & on Pets

Cat fleas and dog fleas are some of the most common threats to your pet's health. When fleas bite people and animals they can cause skin irritation, infection, and several diseases. 

The flea growth stages include:

• Flea eggs

• Flea pupae

• Flea larvae

• Adult fleas

Your best protection against fleas and overall disease control is by avoiding them altogether. Get rid of fleas now with Itch’s vet strength dog and cat flea treatment.

Most fleas come into contact with your pet from the environment around them. From the garden, to the pub and the park, it can feel like nowhere is safe from the blighters.

Wildlife such as foxes, hedgehogs, squirrels and rabbits can be flea-carrying culprits, bringing them into your garden ready for your dog or cat to pick up.

Anyone who comes into your home (human and pet alike) can unknowingly carry fleas in with them. Fleas can jump several inches in the air and easily make their way from one pet to the next.

Once an adult female flea feeds on your pet it will lay eggs. Dozens of immature fleas fall on your pet and your pet's bedding. Then, eggs begin hatching and start the life cycle over again.

Here are five important steps to take to get rid of fleas in your home fast:

• Treat your pet with Itch Instant

• Apply a topical spot-on flea and tick treatment, like Itch Flea

• Vacuum everywhere (carpet, floors, furniture, your pet's belongings)

• Apply a household flea spray around your home, like Itch Flea House Spray

• Continue to hoover your home for at least seven consecutive days after treatment

After you've completed these steps, examine your pet for flea bites and adult fleas using a flea comb. If you are still seeing fleas, consult the Itch Vet Team for advice.

Every flea issue is unique. It depends on the size of the flea population and what steps you've already taken to eradicate fleas. Unfortunately if your home is infested and your pet is riddled with fleas, then a spot on flea treatment alone might not be enough to totally eliminate them.

That's why it’s important in the case of an infestation to also treat your home with a household flea spray, like Itch Flea House Spray because 95% of the flea population lives in your home, not on your pet. 

Treat your pet monthly with Itch Flea Spot On treatment to prevent and protect against ongoing infestation.

The Home Itch Flea Eradication Kit is the quickest way to get rid of fleas. The first step is an oral treatment, Itch Instant, that contains the active ingredient Nitenpyram — an insecticide that you give your pet orally. It begins working immediately to kill 90% of live fleas in 15-30 minutes.

Yes, it's normal for them to rise to the top of your pet's fur as fleas die. So, consider it a win if you start seeing more fleas after you’ve applied Itch Flea Spot On treatment.

If you’re still seeing fleas, it may be because your pet has picked up new fleas from their environment. This can include from other animals and pets, surfaces, and outdoor areas.

A flea infestation doesn't just affect your pet. Alongside removing fleas from your pet, you must tackle your home. Follow these quick and natural ways to get rid of fleas and remove any flea eggs nesting in your house.

• Hoover furniture, floors, and rugs

• Throw the contents of the hoover (or the hoover bag) in the dustbin outdoors immediately

• Wash sheets and blankets and pet bedding in hot, soapy water, 60 degrees minimum

• Clean your pet’s belongings, again in hot water if possible

• Clean your car if your pet spends any time in it

• Hoover every day for at least 7 days after treatment

Alongside a spot on flea treatment, you should also use a household flea spray in and around your home. This is because a female flea will lay eggs that can fall anywhere in your home.
