The pupal window is the key to clearing your home of fleas. Fleas are vulnerable to sprays and other treatments in their egg, larval and adult phases. However, in their pupal phase, none of these treatments will affect them, and they can remain like this for many months. Vacuuming is vital as no insecticide can kill off fleas at the pupae stage (you must wait until they hatch), so hoovering regularly over the course of seven days should get all last traces remaining. You may also wish to reapply repellents after this time. Because fleas can’t be killed in their pupae life stage, they must become adults before the treatment will work on them. This can take anywhere from a few days to months, so while most products will still work for up to 12 months, you may need to reapply regularly and simply wait. However, you should see a definite improvement within a week or so. When should I use flea repellants in the home?
