just curious do your floorboards have holes in them? the fleas could be living under the boards and hoping out through the cracks/holes 
if fleas are biting you then there are still fleas about .. tell that to your new vet and beg for a solution to sort the problem
psst move house.. start a fresh in a flea free home |
That is one of my main concerns, the house we moved into 2 years go has massive holes and cracks all over, it seems like whoever built this place was on a low budget becasue all the caulk that was filing the holes seems to be wearing out. I really feel that my only option is to bomb the house and worse case, call an exterminator. I looked into some exterminators and prices vary depending on the treatment plan i decide to go with. however, its almost winter here and i wouldnt want a 3 month treatment plan especially if theyre gonna go into hibernation. any thoughts?
Abby,
you've been very helpful and i thank you. i've been vacuuming everyday and yes i have been looking at all sorts of websites to keep myself in the know about these damn fleas. I've been thru almost every page on the web that has to do with fleas, some even more than once.
I have not vacuumed the closet because dollar never goes in there and the fact that i have TONS of clothes that are very expensive and arent meant to be washed in hot water or tumble dried. also i have a small little space with folding doors where we keep the washer and dryer, i thought about giving the area a quick vacuum because it seems like a very cool and dark place but the machines must weigh a ton. i'll try my best to get underneath and hopefully suck them out.
The dog downstairs has white and brown hair and i hardly come in contact with it so i wouldnt really know. my friend had a flea problem and he's telling me to shave dollars hair off, would that help even in the slightest?
Ive been reading alot about keeping up your dogs health to make the skin more resistant to flea bites. Can anyone recommend a nutrient supplement?
