Fleas usually turn up in a Ripley home after a pet brings them inside, then numbers build up in carpets, rugs, pet bedding and the shaded parts of the yard where a cat or dog spends time. Flea treatment covers both the yard and the inside of the house, since fleas can be living in both areas at once and a yard-only or inside-only visit tends to leave some of the problem behind.
Outside, the crew we book treats shaded areas under the house, decking, garden beds and anywhere your pet rests or shelters through the day. Inside, treatment usually covers carpets, rugs, skirting boards and pet bedding areas, focusing on the rooms your pet spends the most time in rather than the whole house from wall to wall.
Before the visit, it helps to vacuum carpets and rugs, wash pet bedding and mow the lawn if you can, since this brings fleas closer to the surface where treatment can reach them. The crew can talk you through what to do with pets on the day, including how long to keep them off treated areas once the visit is finished.

After the visit, keep vacuuming carpets and rugs over the next week or two, since this can pick up newly hatched fleas the treatment has not reached yet. Wash pet bedding on a warm cycle and keep an eye on your pet for scratching, and mention to the crew if numbers have not settled down by the time of a later visit.
