Any ideals for the fleas in the carpet and pet i ...

Move out

 Had the same problem the dirt field across the street kept the f-ers coming even changed carpet / shampooed etc... Bombed / tried all remedies, garlic ,canine powder,blow torch

If you don't want to call Orkin. Then go to your local hardware store and buy yourself some flea bombs.  It will depend on the size of your home, but place several of these around the interior of you home, extinguish all flames, turn off all fans, close all windows and then ste them off and leave.  When you come back several hours latter the fleas should be under conrol.  David

Dear Itchy,

I live in Florida the bug capital of America and have 2 dogs and 2 cats, all are in-door/out door pets, so I feel your pain.  First, get all the fleas off your animals; I use FRONTLINE spray on my dogs and Frontline oil on my cats ...you put it on their back between their sholders so that they can't lick it off.  You can get Frontline from any vet or probably on line.  It works for about a month per application.  Then, go out and get an over the counter flea spray like Raid.  Spray the whole house, upostered furniture too; this kills the live fleas but not the their eggs.  You're half way there....then after the floors/carpets dry sprinkle down a heavy layer of BOARAX SOAP POWDER and sweep it into the carpet until you can't see it any more.  Do this every time you vacuum - no it won't damage your carpet and it's very inexpensive.  Put it behind furniture and appliances to kill other bugs too.  This stuff is the key!!!  It's harmless to humans and animals but it kills the fleas and other crawling critters.  I will swear by this process.  I've done it for years and I have zero flea and bug trouble.

Good luck.

Hartz makes a spray called 120 day flea killer.This stuff is great I have had the same problem being bit carpets were loaded with fleas.Vac carpets  spray entire carpet then starting the next day vac everyday after 5 days spray again.this stuff kills the fleas and the hatclings and the eggs.It costs about $15.00 a bottle but it works much better then those flea bombs and it won't hurt you or your pets.Try it then let me know if it worked as well for you.
