i am in desperate need of an answer (i have looked on many web sites) what to clean my hardwood floor with for fleas. there is a lot of information and products for carpeting but i can’t find an answer for hardwood flooring. i also have my lower level of my home that needs to be treated and it is tile. please help. thank you.
I was wondering how to get rid of fleas, eggs, et al, from behind the master bathtub. My cats have access to this area, but I really do not (6 in. x 6 in square max.). I was thinking of putting a heated flea trap since there is electric. Any other thoughts? The access to this area is floor level through the master bathroom closet and is almost impossible to get to.
Hi there,
I caught a flea in my 13-month old’s room and saw another a few days later. She shows no evidence of being bitten (neither does our cat), even though she plays on the floor every day. My husband and I are a different story; even though I’ve only seen two fleas, we have multiple bites. I started vacuuming every other day, treated the (wall-to-wall) carpet with borax, and kept my daughter off the carpet as much as possible. Is there another treatment that is safe for me to use on our floors with a crawling baby?
Hello, I found flea eggs (i think) and 2 live fleas in my bed. (i do not own a pet). I managed to freak out and clean every inch of my place, call an exterminator, etc. However, when I was cleaning, I only saw about 3 more very small fleas. I found an adult dead one upstairs on a couch. I dont see them and cannot tell the difference between dead fleas, eggs, and just specks of dirt? (I see a lot of specks of dirt looking things) How can I tell the difference? Will I know when it is a flea/larvae/pupae/egg? No one else in my family believes me because they dont see them but are they just hiding??
We are referred to you as the best source for do-it-yourself pest control.
After renters departed (with their 3 pitbulls)…
After 1 week the room the dogs were in was flea infested. We treated with store bought products
After 2 wks fleas had spread through-out house, We again treated while painting.
After 3 wks we bombed.
Now there are small fleas still inside
I just came across your website and have a question for you. I have a flea problem. What I need to know is how can I get rid of my fleas by using some sort of non-toxic means? I have 3 dogs, a cat, a rabbit and I have birds (parrots to be exact) and am unable to use any toxins that pollute the air because the birds are very sensitive and the toxins can be absorbed through their skin and make them very sick or even kill them. I would appreciate any help you can give me. I bathe my dogs every other day and spray my cat with a pyrethrin (spelling?) spray. I vacuum my floors wash the dogs bedding. As I said, any help and advice would be appreciated.
We get a lot of questions about our Flea Trap. Most people are asking “what makes it so effective” and others are wondering if it “will work for my situation”. The bottom line is that our Flea Trap does a great job of attracting and catching fleas in homes, apartments and most any structure. Keep one installed where you suspect fleas are active – especially if you don’t have a pet or people moving much in the structure – since the trap does a great job of “rounding up” rogue fleas. Realtors and landlords should be especially interested since a vacant property full of fleas can’t sell or rent. Install some Flea Traps and you’ll see a big reduction of this menacing pest making the property a lot more marketable.
Hello,
How are you? I am a potential customer who is looking for flea control products that really work. I am looking for my mother who is living in Taiwan, where is very humid and warm. She has been having flea problems for a long time, and she has been fighting with fleas without effective tools.
I’ve seen a few fleas on my cat and I know I have to treat the problem before it gets worse. I’m thinking the once a year flea granules would be a good choice since I hate to spray but I just want to make sure it’s safe for her. Also, do you recommend flea traps? We’re going to the vet today to make sure she’s properly treated too.
Fleas seem to be everywhere in my house right now and I need to do something right away. I don’t know if it’s due to the excessive rain we’ve had or the heat or maybe both. But right now I see them on the dog and in my carpet and furniture. I have looked at your site and I like the carpet granules but can I still spray on top of it to kill all the adults instead of using just the traps? Also, is it ok to spray the furniture or is there something else I should use on it? I don’t want to ruin any of the fabric.
Could you tell me where I can buy these flea traps? I live in southern California.
At this time we don’t know anyone that has our FLEA TRAPS in your region. But you can get them direct from us and we ship within one day. To Southern California, it usually only takes 3-4 days to arrive. Here is a link to it in our shopping cart where you can order on line which gets you a 5% discount as well: FLEA TRAPS
Do you carry any non-toxic spray for fleas and their eggs?
We have some really low impact type sprays and treatment options that you might can call a non-toxic spray for fleas. Mind you these won’t work as quickly because they won’t be acutely toxic. But they will be equally if not better in the long run. As explained in our FLEA CONTROL article, breaking the flea cycle is paramount to long term flea control.
I have a flea infestation and was wondering what kind of remedies you offer that would be safe to use. I don’t like spraying because it takes so long for my carpets to dry. but right now the fleas are so bad my cat doesn’t want to be on the floor and it seems like they’re worse than ever before. Is there something I can use that will be safe for my pet and still be effective?
I’ve been using flea bombs over and over and I don’t think they’re working. Did they change something in the formulation? This year the fleas are so bad I bomb and then like the next day I have fleas again. What’s going on? My cat is staying up on the countertop and I think that makes harder for me and my husband. Funny thing is this year even he is getting bit so it must be bad!!!! What can I do?
I have a wicked flea problem and would like to know if there are any home remedies that might get this problem under control. Last year I used some borax powder when I saw one and that seemed to cure it. this year I didn’t apply any till I was being bit and now the borax isn’t doing anything. Is there something else I can use that isn’t a spray?
