The Full Story
Why This Infestation Matters
Fleas are among the most disturbing parasites for families with cats or dogs in Cairo. A single flea lays 50 eggs daily, and each female lives 3 months - meaning one flea produces 4,500 fleas in her lifetime. The bigger problem is 95% of flea infestations in the home are invisible - larvae, eggs, and pupae are hidden in carpets and furniture, and the adults you see on your pet are only 5% of the problem.
In Cairo, the most common species: cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis) - shared between cats and dogs despite the name. And human flea (Pulex irritans) - less common but appearing in some old homes.
Fleas transmit serious diseases to humans: flea typhus, plague, tapeworms. And bites cause severe allergies in some people (Flea Allergy Dermatitis), especially children.
At Nile Germany we treat fleas with the globally certified Integrated Flea Management (IFM) system. The idea: killing adults isn't enough, we must break the entire life cycle. The flea life cycle has 4 stages: egg → larva → pupa → adult. Each stage needs different treatment.
Stage one: specialized indoor spray with German materials (مبيدات ألمانية متخصصة + مادة منظِّمة لتطور الحشرات). The مادة منظِّمة لتطور الحشرات prevents larvae from developing into adults, so even surviving larvae don't become new fleas.
Stage two: garden treatment. Fleas breed in dark moist places (under trees, behind walls, under outdoor furniture). We treat all these areas with garden-specific residual spray.
Stage three: coordinating animal treatment. Like ticks, animal treatment is at a vet with certified products (Frontline, Bravecto, Advantage). Without animal treatment, fleas return within a week.
Program results: 97% of adult fleas disappear within 48 hours. Hidden larvae and pupae die gradually over 3-4 weeks (some pupae may wait inside the home for months). Warranty is 6 months because the life cycle can continue 2-3 months even with treatment.
Critical advice: vacuum pet bedding daily for two weeks after treatment. Vibration triggers pupae to hatch early, then they die from residual pesticide. This step cuts treatment time in half.

Important Scientific Facts
Facts about this pest that may surprise you
50
Eggs per day per flea
A female lays 50 eggs daily and 4,500 eggs in her lifetime (3 months).
95%
Hidden in the home
Of the flea infestation, larvae, eggs, and pupae are hidden in the carpet. Adults on the pet are only 5%.
8 months
Pupae dormancy period
A pupa can remain dormant in the carpet up to 8 months waiting for foot vibration to hatch.
200x
Body weight jumped
A flea jumps 200 times its body weight - equivalent to a human jumping over a 120-meter tower.
How We Work
Our Specialized Treatment Protocol
Scientifically designed methodology for every step
1
Comprehensive Inspection & Infestation Mapping
The technician inspects pet bedding, carpets, sofas, garden, and identifies the most concentrated areas.
2
Specialized Indoor Spray (مبيدات ألمانية آمنة على الحيوانات الأليفة)
Spraying carpets, behind sofas, pet bedding, tile gaps. The growth regulator prevents larvae from developing into adults.
3
Garden Treatment
Residual spray on ground, grass, under trees, and in dark moist places. Kills outdoor fleas.
4
Animal Treatment Guidance
We recommend suitable products (Frontline, Bravecto) and coordinate with a vet for simultaneous treatment.
5
Post-Treatment Cleaning Program
Guidance for daily vacuuming for two weeks, washing bedding at 60°C, and follow-up periodic treatment.
6
Follow-up Visit After 21 Days
A second visit to confirm elimination of surviving pupae. Included in service price at no extra cost.
Before The Visit
How To Prepare For The Technician's Visit
Simple instructions to streamline the work and ensure safety
- 1 Wash all pet bedding and blankets in water above 60°C before the visit
- 2 Vacuum carpets and furniture before the visit (vibration triggers pupae)
- 3 Keep pets out of the home for 4 hours after spraying
- 4 Take the pet to the vet the same day for simultaneous treatment (very important)
- 5 Don't bathe the pet 24 hours before veterinary treatment
- 6 Place clean clothes in sealed plastic bags away from the infested area
Service Duration
1-2 hours for home + garden
Warranty
6-month written warranty
FAQ
Answers to What's on Your Mind
01 Why must I treat the pet with the home?
If you only treat the home, fleas on the pet return spreading new infestation within a week. If you only treat the pet, fleas in carpet and furniture jump on it again.
02 Is treatment safe for cats and dogs?
After 2 hours of drying, completely safe. Keep pets away during spraying and 2-4 hours after.
03 How long until fleas disappear permanently?
Adults disappear within 48 hours. Hidden pupae continue 3-4 weeks. The full infestation ends within 4-6 weeks because the life cycle is long.
04 Why is your warranty 6 months and not 3?
Because dormant pupae can persist for months before hatching. The long warranty protects you from any surviving pupa hatching after treatment.
05 Do I need to evacuate the home for a long time?
No, 4-6 hours is enough. Over 2 hours for treatment drying + 2 hours as ventilation buffer.
06 If I have no pets, can fleas appear?
Yes, if you live in an apartment where the previous tenant had pets. Pupae can persist 8 months. Call if you notice bites.
07 Do fleas transmit diseases?
Yes, they transmit flea typhus and tapeworms. Children may develop severe allergies from bites (FAD).
08 Do you use "Bug Bombs" or insect bombs?
No, bug bombs are ineffective against fleas (only release pesticide in the air). We use specialized direct spray reaching larva hideouts.
09 When is the most infested season?
Summer (July-September) in Cairo. The warm humid climate is ideal for flea breeding. We recommend periodic pet checks.
