Yes, give the pill than two weeks later apply frontline, two weeks than give a pill and so on. So its turns out being once a month for each medication.

Hope you'll find something that works...they hide inside the carpets, cracks & crevices. |
Yes, I am noticing that. They are hiding in the carpet where I have the flea trap set up. I can see them burring themselves. So I am going to try the borax and sweep again giving special attention to the area where they spend most of their time. I'll have to do the kitchen too since I hate to say this where they are still being held until I don't see any more fleas in the flea strap . . . MY POOR Babies !!

Great tip Nancy... I was wondering what to do with it or if they are still alive in the tank of my Dyson.
Update: Things have gotten a little better for the pup pups . . I checked them and didn't see not ONE flea. On the other hand the main living area has so so many. I just one 24 hrs period I counted 35 fleas in the trap. I emptied that and than less than 2.5 hrs there were 12. Grrrrr !! On a good note . . the flea trap in the den has not one. Moving it into the kitchen so see what the results are there.
Sad to say the I don't know whether is a good idea to let the pups out of the kitchen or not. I fear that they will become infested again since they are clearly there and very noticeable. Mainly around the trap.... or not that they are on the "PILL"
is it safe to let them out?
What do you all think???
