I have covered my carpets in borax and let it sit for two days before I vacuumed, bit still he is getting bitten. I bought a new shark vacuum and vacuumed the entire house today. I also sprinkled more borax along the edges of the carpet today. I sprayed flea spray around the base of all my furniture. My son just got bit again!
The exterminator should be able to sort it out, no exceptions. I will PM you a link a little later, check it out when you get a chance. Otherwise, I recommend using DE and my DIY flea traps, both topics have articles on this blog.
WHAT WE RECOMMEND
Set off a fogger and you'll kill off only those bugs that happen to be out in the open at any given moment. Any pests that are inside or under a protective covering will survive to bite another day. Meanwhile, your counters and other surfaces will have been coated with pesticide, meaning you'll have to scrub them down before cooking or sleeping on them. We also used diatonomous earth all over the floors. It does help a lot but I must add a warning.
Any advice on how to get rid of the bites? So I will be moving in a couple months and I was wondering if it would be safe for me to flea bomb my furniture while it is on the moving truck. We’ll have the truck for 2 days so I’ll be able to leave the stuff alone for 8+ hours. We’re gonna use the flea bombs tomorrow. The cats are out side and will stay there. Can’t handle these fleas my daughter had the cats in her room and she can’t even go in there now with out being covered with fleas if the does work what should we do.
Best Bug Bombs
WHen I was a kid, we had them and few mosquitoes and dont remember any fleas. I am so happy I found your site and know that i am not alone. We have been battling a flea infestation in the home now for the last 3 months! It was a long and hot summer. The weather is finally starting to get cooler so hopefully that helps with fleas outside. It looks as if my dogs are treated.
You can’t step on the carpet without being eaten I am literally in bed getting bit repeatedly as I type. As I have a snake and very expensive saltwater fish I rather not bomb. It’s especially bad for the one pup who is under 8 weeks. We don’t have a lot of money so we can’t afford flea dips or exterminators to come out. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
The #1 Store for DIY Pest Control and Lawn & Garden Solutions
Remember, some products require the chemical residue to remain on the carpets, etc. for at least a couple days! This ensures that all fleas are killed and makes sure that fleas in their earlier stages (larvae, etc.) do not escape your wrath. This is actually why I personally bomb the house just before I go on holiday with the family, giving the product plenty of time to do its job. A flea fogger is a small aerosol canister that contains insecticide. To use this flea product, simple release one of them in each regular sized room to kill the fleas.
I found fleas on 2 of the pets the next day. Help me to please get rid of these annoying insects. Yes, steam cleaners work well, they get rid of a variety of insects so if you can hire one, use it throughout the house. As for your bedding, run it through a hot wash as that will definitely help. Lastly, use my flea traps to catch the rest. You must repeat fogging, but timing is critical.
Once You Return, Keep Pesticides out of Pets' and People's Mouths
If I close my ventilation and use the fogger and cover everything in my room, will it be safe for people to still be inside the house? Obviously they wont go in my room. Firstly, I always recommend purchasing flea bombs from a verified, trusted outlet that will stand behind its product instead of just trying to push a quick sale. I have found that there are a number of brands that are generally low quality. Turn the electricity off on your distribution board.
How can i avoid this and fog my apartment ? One more thing to mention, i don’t have any pets. Your plan is a good start, but when your pets are fully dried up, I recommend applying a spot on treatment as well.
Black Flag Concentrated Fogger, a 1.25 ct can consist of concentrated fogger, is made with 100% pure and natural grain alcohol. Hi Krysta, just go to the top of my website and click on “fleas”. You will find both articles in that area. P.S. I have hipped friends and family to this very informative site. We are big dog lovers and 1 crazy cat lady. I always suggest that you leave the house otherwise its at your own risk, sorry.
Let me know how it works out for you, and if you still have a problem, I will guide you further. Hi Doreen, give it a few days, it is too early to expect no adult fleas to be alive. Let me know how it goes though, will help you. Since fleas could take shelter in your cupboards, its helpful to selectively open certain doors during the treatment. However, be aware that the exposure to the flea insecticide may require the washing of additional clothes and other items. Never inhale the gas from the bomb.
I take 3 showers a day, I wash my clothes like crazy. I just don’t know what the next step is! Years ago we had a bad flea infestation. We were able to get it under control & rid our home of fleas but not before we unfortunately lost one of our kitties to a flea parasite. (The whole process of trying to save her was “very” expensive). Once again we’ve come under attack of these horrible pests and this time we have been even less fortunate.
I’m a single mom….working 60+ hrs ( hr/shifts), so paying someone else and/or doing it myself are my personal “rock/hard place”. I’ve got teenage kids….they’re about as reliable as pest control. Sometimes fine….sometimes not so much. Give my flea traps a try, they are DIY and work really well.
How to Flea Bomb a House
I am sure that you will be fine, give it a week or two and let me know. Ok so we are planning on using a flea fogged for all the rooms in our house. Probably, but I don’t recommend it. Ask the person to leave for at least an hour, that is all you really need.
