i had fleas in my house. Tried bug sprays. Here is what worked. Pour salt on all carpets and furniture. Let sit 12 hrs. Vacuum thoroughly. Empty bag or canister. Vac every day and empty bag or canister. Reapply salt once a week and vac everyday and empty bag or canister. For other areas, spray with pine sol (regular version) everyday…such as kitchen and bath floors, etc etc. It works!!! Sounds crazy but google it. I did. It works. No more fleas after 2 wks. Major improvement in just 4 days. Pine sol! Who knew. Spray it on any area that wont be harmed by it. Smells way better than bug spray and works better too. Safer for kids and pets too. Spray outside too. Pine oil keeps them away. It works, wait and see. Salt kills the fleas and eggs too. Dries them out. But you have to empty canister or replace bag after every vacuuming. Fleas are survivors to a degree. Out damn fleas, out! LOL

My husband has hundreds of flea bites…the worst on his legs(knees down)but also on his torso. I was sceptical they were actually fleas, no pets here, except fish!!! He was insistent he was seeing them. I thought it was more likely bed bugs, or worse scabies. But he is the only one with bites, even though my daughter sleeps in bed with us. He wakes up with new bites every morning, but not us, until this morning, my daughter had two bites. Why would the fleas only be biting him? Anyone have an idea? I also recently saw two fleas. I’ve had pets before and infestations, but this seems bizare to me and Dad is fed up with the bites and me for not being able to fix it. Any info would help

garlic is toxic to pets. don’t ever give garlic or onions to your pets. it can cause liver failure!

I think my boyfriends house has fleas but he won’t believe me. I have bites all over me and they are driving me crazy! I don’t know what to do anyone have any advice on what to do with the bites or boyfriend? He knows i have them he’s seen them but he doesn’t have any bites on him. Why do I have them and he doesn’t?

I have a chihuahua who has fleas, its not a serious infestation but there are a good amount on her. I am treating her with shampoo, Advantage, etc…The real problem is that I know there are some fleas in our carpet, and I have a 10 month old daughter. I am not sure what is the safe method of using powders, bombs, stuff like that. We tried putting salt on the carpets and that hasn’t seemed to work yet.

I call them “WAR FLEAS” no matter what you do they seem to come back? you need to wash Everything and do not replace your area rugs back on the floor the Larvae will just stick to the fibers …. Good luck everyone

Did you treat your pet with Advantage or a product like that? If you dont treat your pet then fogging the house is basically pointless. When you bomb your house make sure your using a product that has a good reputation. This is a good time to just spend the extra couple dollars and get a name brand. We used Raid just today, and I have yet to see a flea.
