Can I use Lysol to kill fleas in my house?

I've discovered some fleas in my house and I'm trying to figure out the best way to deal with them. I have a bottle of Lysol, and I'm wondering if it would be effective and safe to use to kill fleas around the home. Is Lysol a good option, or should I consider something else to ensure my pet and home are flea-free?

Answer

If you've found fleas in your home, using Lysol might not be the safest or most effective method for eliminating them. Instead, consider pet-safe flea control treatments to protect both your home and your pet.

  • Regularly vacuum your home to remove fleas and their eggs.
  • Wash pet bedding and fabrics in hot water.
  • Consider using approved flea control products recommended by your vet.
  • Consult a professional pest control service if the infestation is severe.

Tackling a flea infestation promptly is important because fleas can cause discomfort and skin irritation in pets, and they may also transmit diseases. Safe and effective control measures are crucial to ensure your pet's health and well-being.
