It is Time to Let Off the Bug Bombs  

That sounds about right to me, Elusive, LOL. I can't stand any kind of creepy crawlies, ugh! The bombs should take care of those pesky critters.

ElusiveButterfly, Before you do that, as I know that with in 2 weeks you shall again be fighting a downhill battle with fleas, bombs just do not cut it other than killing the adult fleas and eggs. I had an infestation a few years ago that dang near wigged me out and made me want to burn down the house. It was not untill I researched and dug for information that I began to understand how to combat them. It really comes down to the chemicals that you use and understanding the life cycle of the flea. In short there is the pupa stage that common flea treatments do not kill.

There is a product called Sergeant's GOLD. It comes in both a spray for the floor and furniture and powder for carpets. Wal Mart sells it as I am sure other stores do too. Follow the instructions and I guarantee you You will start seeing a big difference in just one day and in a two days your ankle biters will be gone. Promise.

You can only do what you have to do. Let those flea bombs rip through your carpets.

I have lived through two flea epidemics.
My kids had a dog and I had a cat in the one.
We couldn't do anything to get them down to a livable level except wait for winter.
When we went away for the weekend we woild come back and you could see the fleas jumping one the floor.
It was horrid!!!
We had no carpeting anywhere so ours wasn't as bad as our neighbours.
Even people in our town with no pets had fleas those years.
The fleas didn't die until after the first snow.
It was absolutely horrid. Susan

Yes once those nasty things come off the animals and get into the carpet nothing else but the bombs will work.

Here is a tip, be sure when cleaning up when they are finished, to vacuum extremely well. I mean every thing and any thing. Get under all your furniture as well. Sometimes you have a few that will survive so you want to suck them suckers up. Then toss your bag when you are finished and take the garbage out. LOL, like I said, I had this problem once and it's a pain to do, but you have to. If you don't you are chancing becoming infested all over again and spending all this time and money once more.

Anyway, good luck and let us know how it goes. :oD

Yes, sometimes you have to take drastic measures to get rid of them. I hope this works for you. Good luck with getting rid of them.

Good luck, I have been battleling the rotten buggers too this summer. They are bad this year.

We rented a house a few years back that was absolutely loaded with them. It was a 7 room house counting the bathroom and I used 12 bombs (putting 2 in any room with carpeting). The next morning they were gone!! It was worth the money to be rid of them!!

AT PEACE WITHIN

I was meant to ask you this last time Elusive what is a bug Bomb?
I have never heard of one of those so I guess that we are not able to get them here in the UK

Let us know what works. I get bites also, but they never bother my husband. He says it's because I'm more juicy. LOL
