How do you rid your house of fleas?

First, you must rid your pets of fleas... It's a bit expensive, but works like a charm within 12-18 hours. Advantage. It's a little vial of pesticide, especially formulated for cats and dogs by their weight.

You apply it between their shoulder blades and it's absorbed into their systems. When a flea bites your pet, it dies. Even fleas living on the furniture and in the carpet will need to eat..and will jump back on the pet...and die.

Vacuum, vacuum, vacuum. During our flea infestation this spring...the topical flea treatment that I had always used, Frontline, let me down big time. My pets were loaded with fleas...even after I applied it.

I have the Irobot Roomba floor vacuum cleaner..and run it faithfully every day. With 6 indoor pets, just the fur alone is a big problem...but it's always picking up dead fleas, eggs...and keeping our home flea free. You can check the prices of Advantage on line...Drs.

Foster and Smith is a good catalog...sometimes others have a good sale, free shipping or some other money saving promotions.

Borax for carpets and furniture. After getting a good flea soap and comb for the animals you can start getting rid of them in the furniture and carpets with borax. Just sprinkle it all over the affected areas and let it sit for a few minutes, then vaccum it up.Do this every few days and the problem will eventually be gone.

The borax will not hurt the animals as well. Bibliobabe's Recommendations Dial #00368 76OZ 20 Mule Team Borax .

Three steps first, get the frontline for your dogs (if you have them) this stuff is expensive but it works, second, bomb the inside of your house, third get your yard sprayed. It really starts from outside but since you have the problem inside already start there, my problem starts with my neighbors who have 3 outside dogs, that are full of fleas, so I have to keep my yard sprayed once every 6 weeks it cost me 30 dollars, its worth it to me, since my dogs stay in the house most of the time, its good to bomb the house once a year anyways, for the other little creatures that make your home there home. If you do this you will be fine, best of luck .

Frontline! Vacuum, vacuum, vacuum Isn't a flea infestation the worst? I have to say that the products at stores such as the Hartz flea shampoos and remedies don't work at all.

First you have to get Frontline. You don't have to get it at the vets There is a site that I use for all my animals for everything. It's called Jefferspets.com.

You do have to know the weight of your animal. Cats and dogs use different types all together, so you can't use one for both. Apply it between the animals shoulder blades, so there is know way they can lick at it.

The fleas will start to come off and try to find a new host...you! So, you have to vacuum a lot for a few days, get the corners too. Change your linens and wash them in hot water.

Flea eggs lie dormant and hatch when vibrated, such as you walking around. So, if you are gone at work all day, when you come home at night they will start hatching. You have to apply the Frontline every month, since there still maybe eggs or fleas outside.

The best way to find that they are really gone is to walk all around your house in white socks and make sure there are none jumping up onto them. Frontine is waterproof so make sure you bathe and comb out old nits (eggs) and flea dirt (dried blood) It doesn't take long now since the invention of frontline. The fleas will not come back as long as you apply it every month.

I hope this helps! .

A few steps are needed You must have carpets! We switched to vinyl flooring some time ago with only washable throw rugs....no fleas. At any rate, here is what you can do: 1.

Get all pets and kids out of the house. 2. Sprinkle boric acid across all carpets and furniture where there are fleas.3.

Leave it for a couple of hours; longer if you can. Go out to lunch or shopping and keep the pets in the garage.4. Vacuum everything.5.

No pet is allowed inside until it is shampooed. This is time consuming, but worked for us. Keep flea powder on your cats and dogs after this.

If you are in a part of the country that is cold right now, best to take your pets to a professional groomers for the shampoo. That way they will stay warm the entire time and no risk of them getting sick from being wet and cold. For what it's worth, when anyone gets the option, go with vinyl flooring.

There are some really stunning ones to choose from now and it cuts down enormously on allergies, fleas (we have none with three dogs, grandkids inside and horses, goats, chickens outside), and the need to do any expensive cleaning.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
