Flea eggs scatter easily because these do not attach to hair. Dispersed on flooring (wooden floors, carpets), they give birth to grubs. Sheltered in their cocoon, these grow into adults within 2 to 3 weeks. They can remain in the latent state for months, and wake up only when a warm-blooded being passes in their vicinity to jump on it and feed on its blood.
In case of a flea invasion, Valmour recommends shock action and a long term treatment :
1 - We recommend a shock treatment with the Special Fleas ORKA Jet Spray. Single unique action, meaning the spray will empty itself completely once it is turned on. This formula perfectly distributes the active principle within the totality of the volume to be treated including any cracks. This allows to destroy the majority of fleas present. Average use approx. 1 spray for 30 m2 (or for 2 communicating rooms of 15 m2).
To treat larger size rooms , choose:
- Smoke Insecticide ORKA : active smoke after lighting a safety fuse, treatment for up to 60 m2.
- Fumigator Insecticide PROFYR: mist without combustion, treatment for up to 100 m2.
2 - The following day, it is advisable to continue the treatment with the Special Fleas ORKA Jet Vaporizer. Complementary to the spray, this product allows to perfectly treat the floors. Its liquid formula is adapted to the treatment of floors and carpets whereas the gas has a tendency to rise instead of impregnating. Average use approx 1 litre per 100 m2.
For professionals or if you need to treat important surfaces, replace the Special Fleas ORKA Vaporizer with the NOXIDE Concentrate. Diluted in 4,5 litres of water, you will obtain 5 litres of an extra powerful ready-to-use insecticide easy to apply with one of the Dusters below. Average use approx. 20 m2/litre.
Remarks :
- It is often necessary to repeat the spraying after a few days to eliminate any fleas which might have been protected during the previous treatment.
For an exterior treatment, use the NOXIDE Concentrate to spray onto the ground where the surface has been converted: gravel, pavestones etc...Do not apply on a lawn or green plants, where you might often find a great concentration of fleas. In these cases, use the Traditional Black Soap VALMOUR, which is a traditional and very efficient remedy against aphids and the spores of certain plant diseases.
It will also be efficient to treat the fleas without harming the plants.
The efficiency of the treatment also depends on the treatment of the source of the infestation. If you have pets, also treat them carefully. We propose FIPROLINE, a product of the latest generation. Please consult the corresponding advice card by clicking on :
