Kill Fleas in Carpeting
Flea eggs, larvae, and pupae make up 95 – 99% of a flea infestation. These immature stages live off the host, and in homes are typically found developing within carpets in rooms where pets rest.
A flea control powder containing an insect growth regulator (IGR) will prevent the pre-adult fleas from reaching maturity. On the product label, look for the active ingredients pyriproxyfen or (S)-methoprene.
