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

Even with 7 dogs we stay flea free by using eucalyptus oil and leaves from a eucalyptus tree under the bedding and mattresses. It is and old remedy that works.

wow - i've never heard of flea eggs in clothes. Fleas are aweful aren't they? Fleas got pretty bad here this summer and I ended up having to bomb my house to get rid of them all. Good Luck

I have bomb & sprayed my house, having to stay out of it hours and hours.
I know I need to go the cleaners with my clothes but that will be another
two weeks

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?

Thanks I going to try opening doors and bombing. You all are such a great help

My family thinks its all in my mind but its not. The fleas are always attacking me. I been so focused on keeping them off rockie

I have to pay attention to myself as well. Thanks a lot

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!

I put borax on my carpet for the first time today. I left in over nine hours then vacumed. Hopefully that works

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?
