Do non-carpeted areas like wood or tile floors need to be treated?
Treating wood floors, tile, linoleum and other smooth floorings/surfaces should not be necessary. Flea eggs and flea larvae rarely survive out in open, well-trafficked areas. Carpet and upholstery are the ideal environments for fleas to develop in the home. We do recommend that you clean, mop, and vacuum all floors to remove any eggs that might have been deposited there by your pet. Special attention should be paid to flooring underneath all furniture and other large objects, baseboards, closets, storage areas, garages, etc. Hidden, undisturbed areas could be a harbor for fleas and should be thoroughly cleaned to remove any pre-adult fleas that may be developing.
