☐ All pet bedding, blankets, cushions, and washable soft furnishings must also be washed on a hot wash (60°C minimum).
☐ Once washed, items should be dried thoroughly and stored away until treatment is complete.

☐ Empty the vacuum cleaner immediately after use and dispose of the contents in an external bin.

☐ Put away all crockery, cutlery, cooking utensils, and food preparation equipment.
☐ Cover fish tanks and switch off air pumps during treatment.
Pets & Occupants
☐ All pets and occupants must vacate the property before treatment begins.
☐ Ensure all pets have received appropriate flea treatment from a veterinary-approved source. Failure to treat pets may result in re-infestation.
After Treatment
☐ Do not re-enter the property until the advised re-entry time has elapsed (normally 2–4 hours, as advised by your technician).
☐ Avoid vacuuming or washing treated areas for at least 3 weeks where possible to allow the insecticide to remain effective.
☐ Some flea activity may continue for up to 2–3 weeks after treatment as emerging fleas come into contact with the residual insecticide.
