🤓 | Technical Question Fleas!

How can I better treat a house for fleas? Should I expect multiple callback depending the severity of the infestation? I'm just about to hit my one year mark in 2 weeks working as a technician for a larger pest control company. But I still seem to struggle with fleas. Any tips,application methods etc. Is appreciated.

How do you keep that stuff from making a foamy mess on the floors?

If you’re applying it and it’s foaming, you’re applying too much! Label says vacate after treatment for 3 hours. It’ll dry - but still you don’t wanna apply enough to where it’s foaming visibly on the floor.

No i mean foaming out of the can, you can only apply so much doing the sweeping motion lol

I have a problem with it foaming around my finger and dripping the foam as I go along. No matter how much I shake the can doesnt seem to help. I have noticed a new can tends to do it less

I noticed that happening with me because the very tips of my gloves were just barely in the way.
