Key recommendation for Flea treatment is to steam clean and vacuum the home environment. Flea eggs and pupas are resisitent to many flea product except for heat. However, heat from steam vacuum destroys them.

Using this steam vacuum, it's easy to work on all the rooms in the house. Steaming carpets, couches, mattress and and linens. Has small attachements for cleaning car and crevices.
