FLEAS!!! What is the best way to remove them from a house, my daughter is extremely allergic and breaks out.?
Question:
Answers:
I just went through this and it just about drove me NUTS!!! I was allergic too and was miserable!! I did lots of research on home remedies to try, from vacuuming daily to putting Borax in the carpet and I think I tried them all...and nothing was working.
Then I went to Tractor Supply and found a indoor flea spray by Enforcer. It comes in a gallon jug with a spray nozzle so it's easy to use and has no fumes like others I had tried. It kills the live fleas immediatly and kills the eggs, too. You have to spray frequently because when the fleas are in the cocoon stage they cannot be killed and they will continue to hatch out. I just wore white socks every evening when I got home so that I could see any new ones that might jump on (they like white). If I saw even one flea I would treat all the carpeted areas, uncarpeted areas where my cat frequented, and all soft funiture where I had noticed them before. I was very diligent about this and usually ended up treating the carpet and funiture about every other day. Finally, no more fleas!!! I went through about a jug and a half, but I only have 2 carpeted rooms. If I remember it was about 15 bucks per jug.....much less than a visit from the exterminator would be!!
Don't wait!! The longer you wait to start treatment the more fleas and eggs and cocoon stage fleas you will have to deal with and the longer it will take to get them all!!
Good Luck!!
First of all you must treat any animals in your home with Frontline or something like it. Secondly you have to bug bomb your home. You may have to do this twice because of the eggs fleas lay tend to hatch again 30 days after. Twice ought to do the trick.
