Flea's are bad this year. I've had my share of the problem too. When I was fighting to get control of the problem and get them gone here's what I did.
I bathed my 3 in the original dawn dish detergent. I used Capstar, and frontline plus. We spray our yard with Permectrin II (I got that at our local Farmers Co-Op, its concentrated so you have to dilute it) and we sprayed every 2 weeks now hubby is cutting back to once a month. I may have been wrong to do this, but I didn't let my 3 go outside for a month until I knew the spray had time to start working. I cleaned up poop and pee everyday (2 of mine were pee pad trained so that helped on the clean up some what.) We also had our house and furniture sprayed. I washed all bedding(ours and theirs) in hot water and dried the bedding on the hottest heat. Vacuumed all mattresses. I pretty much gave my house an overall spring cleaning.
I wish you good luck on getting your flea problem gone soon. |
