| Egg Fleas In Clothes Hello, I am still fighting the fleas in my house. I now have fleas eggs in my clothes I know I can wash them but these are clothes I get cleaned at the cleaners. Is there any other alternatives to use. I am short on funds presently. Any suggestions would be well apreciated |

| If you open your closet door that has all your clothes in it and bomb the house, wouldn't it kill the eggs in the clothes too?

| A few days after I bombed my house, I also sprayed my carpets with Raid for Fleas. I then sprayed the carpets again a few days after that. I just wanted to make sure they were gone!

| Borax works, just make sure your pets don't ingest any of it.

| Maybe you could put your clothes in plastic bags to try to suffocate them?
