I have read a lot of suggestions for others, but this is what i am doing.
I hold no carpet in my house.we own bombed...
I have a rat terrier so he is short hair... we give flea bath and put front line on him
We sprayed the patio several times
and we did all three at once to hopefully knock it out..plus mopped with pine sol.
NOw 4 days after that i got bit on the 2 3 and 4 day by 2 fleas.. i am also besides the dog the just one getting bit for reasons i dont understand. but i involve something else better stronger... whatever.. i am pregnant and once i have the kid i dont want he or she to get bit
we get the local pest control round to spray the house as had tried everything else and spent alot! of cash this did the trick and i hope it will for you
well brought-up luck frontline should have done the trick. weird
The only thing that i can consider of doing is going to the vet and getting the advantage or advantic which ever one is for dogs and also ask them for the flea pill.
When all the fleas are gone from your rat afterwards they won't have anything to feed of of within the house.
Or you can call the exterminator most just charge in the region of 35 to 40 a month to spray your house and your yard, believe me if not the fleas its worth it for the ants..lol
Answers: fleas feed on blood..so your dog is not the lone food source! fleas have 4 stages in their lifecycle - eggs, larva, pupae, adults. you need different chemicals to kill different stages. what you put on the dog will exterminate the adult if it bites ur dog but that won't kill the eggs, larva and pupae that's already in your house! fles can live in cracks on ur floor, on furnitures, contained by closets, etc...anywhere they can hide so carpet is not a "must"! the fleas merely go on your dog/you to feed so it's not going to live on your dog so anyone short/long hair has no relevance. if you are vaccumming the floors, fashion sure you use flea powder so it will go into the vaccum bag to snuff whatever is still alive...and get rid of the pack right away or it will become an incubator for fleas! the fleas are probably feeding off of someone else except your dog...you can use insect repellant on your legs so they won't feed off of you. eventually when they can't capture food, they will stop laying eggs and die off. the push button is to cut off the "food" source. i had a really fruitless flea problem a few years ago and that's how i got rid of them. i also paid a few hundred $ to grasp an exterminator but they didn't do anything other than pocket my money. try "bombing" the house - you can get them at the hardware store but clear sure you read the warning about pilot lights...some stipulation it be turned off for safety reason and some don't. also look for the ones that will kill both adults and eggs. the point of "bombs" is that fumes can go thru cracks and other out-of-reach areas. suitable luck!
