Getting Rid Of Fleas

[cowgirl_telly_369]

There used to be cats in the house...now they aren't there, but there are TONS of fleas...the house was bombed twice within 1 week...still fleas. I had a bad encounter with them today. Any suggestions?

bomb it again - second bombing was probably too soon - you are getting the "hatchlings". DE powder sprinkled around is an alternative choice.

Might want to do the perimeter of outside building too.

put some waxmyrtle branches everywhere. get the cat some advantage and throw her back in for a few days.

Beefy-The cats are already out of the house...Someone wanted one, we gave that one away, the other 3 were turned outside and they are somewhere in the field.

Spray it with DP demon.

a cake pan with 1/2 inch of water and 1 or 2 drops of liquid soap. put a light above it about 12-18 at night. you'll be surprized how many you catch. keep it going 14 days after you see the last one.

Borax em'.

Borax em'.

Have to agree with this one. We had a major flea problem years ago. Infested the carpet. Sprinkled borax and later vacuumed. Flea problem gone. Be sure to empty the vacuum bag after vacuuming.

That does work well, but spraying with Permethrine + Precor works faster!

Put a flea collor in the vacum bag

Didn't mean to be---but you're right however,it kills the fleas in the bag,so they can't reinfest...

Cable guy was here today running the cable into our new house. I told him he'd be safe under the house...we had it exterminated for fleas. He said, "Fire ants will kill them...get some fire ants." I told him to look around...and be careful not to get into any of them under the house.

do guineas eat fleas?

 

[cowgirl_telly_369]

Something was put in the house for the fleas last night...I'm not sure what it was, but we'll see how this goes.
