Ginger,
Once I use the broom to work the Borax around the base of the carpet fibers, I let my yorkie back into the room.
At one point, before someone told me about using Borax, despite the fact that I was treating my dog, yard and home with very expensive (and toxic) products which were sold to me by my Vet, plus I had monthly professional pest control (for $30/month!)my poor little baby was still crawling with fleas....crawling!!
I was at my wits end, we were having a very bad flea season (which we are having again this year) and then a woman that I work with, who has lived in south florida all her life, told me how to dust my carpets with Borax. With in 48 hours my family was flea free. And to this day I do not use any toxic chemicals to fight fleas. when I asked my exterminator why he didn't tell me about the borax, he said that is exactly what they use in their sprayers, just really watered down. HUUMMMPF!! EXTERMINATOR AND VET YOU ARE FIRED!!;)
My new vet says that, like the salt, borax dries out the flea eggs in the carpet and they dont hatch, once the adult fleas die the cycle is ended. |
