I read on the internet about sprinkling Borax Mule Team Laundry detergent on the carpet and sweeping it down into the fibers of the carpet. Let it sit for two days, then vacuum up, simultaneously getting pet flea shampooed, etc.. May have to repeat these steps 2 or 3 times and treat all animals but I'm sure you'll get rid of them this way.

I have not heard of either of these things. Do you think I need to call the vet first before I bathe her with Dawn???? If I have Berber carpeting throughout the house, I wonder if the detergent trick will work????

Thanks so much, but what do you think???
