Even though off-the-shelf products claim to “kill and repel” fleas on contact, it usually doesn’t work for all of the pests, because fleas in the cocoon stage are immune to most products. Soon these fleas will emerge and start to infest your home again.
Common Misconceptions
It is commonly thought that indoor pets cannot get fleas. While it is true that keeping your dog or cat indoors will reduce the risk of exposure to fleas, they may still be introduced into your home by rodents (rats or mice) that live in or near your home. Fleas can also be brought into your house as hitchhikers on clothing.
