Article: Purchase a broadcast spray product that connects to a hose. Make sure its label indicates it kills eggs, larvae, pupae, and adult fleas. Look for products that contain either chlorpyrifos or permethrin, which are more effective against fleas. Spraying the product with a hose will give you more volume and coverage than a pump spray application. Find a product that comes in its own hose spray container. That way, you won't need to purchase a separate hose sprayer or worry about proper calibration and dilution. Check the label to see how much area an insecticide covers by volume. Provided it gets good sunlight, you won't need to spray your entire yard. You'll just need enough to thoroughly treat all shaded patches, spots that get damp, and areas your pets frequent. Try not to leave any areas of skin uncovered when you spray insecticide. At a bare minimum, wear long sleeves, pants, socks, and closed-toed shoes. Don't wear flip flops, sandals, or shoes made out of fabric or mesh. It's also wise to wear work gloves and protective eye wear. Even if your product's instructions don't advise wearing a respirator or mask, you should wear one to avoid inhaling harmful chemicals. If you need to pour your product into a separate hose sprayer, choose a sprayer with a dial that calibrates the dilution rate. The insecticide's instructions will list a recommended dilution rate. Set your hose sprayer's dial to the appropriate setting so the product mixes with water at the right ratio. To make things easier, buy a product that comes in its own spray container that attaches to a hose. Turn on your hose and squeeze the container's trigger to begin spraying. The most important spots to treat are patches of dirt, under bushes, perimeters of buildings, and other areas that might collect moisture and get lots of shade. If you have pets, you'll also need to pay special attention to dog runs, kennels, houses, or any other areas your furry friends frequent. Let everyone in your household know that they'll need to stay away from treated areas until the insecticide dries. Make sure to keep pets and children away from treated areas.
