I have a new rug. Can I both scotchgaurd it and also spray anti flea on it at the same time?

Question

I have 5 cats and the rug is made of wool which apparently fleas just love.

Answer 1

You need to treat your cats if they have fleas.  Spraying the rug won't work for long and you would need to stay off of it.

Answer 2

Hoovering is the best method for getting rid of fleas.

Actually, Hoovering regularly is the best way to keep dirt and pests at bay.

Empty your vacuum cleaner into a bag and dispose of it.

Answer 3

Use the scotch guard first and let it dry completely, then use the flea spray.  A cheaper solution to flea spray is a little table salt sprinkled over the rug once a week you would vacuume it anyway and then reapply it with say, a salt shaker.  You can do this on fabric furniture as well as the prefered sleeping areas of the cats and it won't hurt the fabric either!

Cheers!
