Struggling with a flea infestation? You’re not alone. Fleas are one of the most common household pests — and once they’ve settled in, they can be incredibly difficult to remove. Whether they’re biting your pets or making your home feel uncomfortable, taking action quickly is essential.
In this guide, we’ll explain how fleas get into your home, why they’re so hard to get rid of, and how to eliminate fleas effectively using a proven, multi-step treatment plan. We’ll also show you how our powerful Flea Killer Spray can help, with its HSE-approved, triple-action formula designed specifically for use in the home.
What Causes Fleas in the House?
Fleas are small, blood-sucking insects that often enter the home via pets like dogs or cats. However, they can also be carried in on clothing, second-hand furniture, or even by wildlife such as foxes or squirrels. Once indoors, fleas can lay hundreds of eggs in carpets, rugs, furniture, and cracks in the floor — making it easy for infestations to spiral out of control quickly.
How to Know If You Have Fleas
Common signs of a flea infestation include:
- Pets scratching excessively
- Tiny black dots (flea dirt) in pet fur or on soft furnishings
- Flea bites on your ankles or lower legs
- Spotting live fleas jumping on carpets or upholstery
The Best Way to Get Rid of Fleas in the Home
Killing fleas in the house requires more than just treating your pet. You need to attack the entire lifecycle — eggs, larvae, and adult fleas — using a combination of cleaning, prevention, and targeted treatment.
Step 1: Use a Professional-Grade Flea Spray
The most effective way to kill fleas fast is to apply a residual insecticide spray like our Flea Killer Spray. It contains cypermethrin, a powerful insecticide used by professionals to treat flea infestations in domestic settings.
Key benefits:
✅ Kills adult fleas on contact
✅ Disrupts the breeding cycle to prevent eggs and larvae developing
✅ Long-lasting protection with a residual effect
✅ Available in 500ml and 1L bottles
✅ HSE-approved for use in the home
⚠️ Do not use the spray directly on pets, pet bedding, pet sleeping quarters, or areas where pets frequently lie.
Apply the spray to carpets, skirting boards, under furniture, and in any cracks or crevices where fleas might be hiding. Always read and follow the full label instructions before use.
Step 2: Vacuum Daily
Vacuum all carpets, rugs, and soft furnishings daily for at least 7–10 days. This helps to remove flea eggs, larvae, and pupae — and encourages any unhatched fleas to emerge and come into contact with the spray.
Remember to empty the vacuum outdoors after each use, as fleas can survive inside vacuum bags or canisters.
Step 3: Wash Pet Bedding on a Hot Cycle
Wash all pet bedding, blankets, throws, and cushion covers at 60°C or higher (see individual product labels to check washing instructions). Heat is one of the most effective ways to kill fleas, eggs, and larvae that may be hiding in fabrics.
Step 4: Treat Your Pets (If Applicable)
If you have pets, make sure you treat them with a vet-recommended flea treatment. These products work systemically to kill fleas living on the animal and help prevent reinfestation.
Step 5: Repeat Treatment if Necessary
Fleas can be incredibly persistent. Even after a thorough clean, it’s common for new fleas to hatch within 7–14 days. Reapply the flea spray as needed according to the label to ensure full eradication.
