I gave both dogs a shower with Dawn and vinegar and flea shampoo, bathed the oldest cat with dawn and have spread boax all over my carpets and mattress and couch excessively. We live in country on 2 acres and all the animals all except oldest cat go in and outside. Used raid flea and tick carpet and room spray and martins flee carpet spray. Fleas died down but are still here or coming back in.
Let me know how it works out for you, and if you still have a problem, I will guide you further. Hi Doreen, give it a few days, it is too early to expect no adult fleas to be alive. Let me know how it goes though, will help you. Since fleas could take shelter in your cupboards, its helpful to selectively open certain doors during the treatment. However, be aware that the exposure to the flea insecticide may require the washing of additional clothes and other items. Never inhale the gas from the bomb.
How Do I Safely Use Bug Bombs?
A professional TR aerosol insecticide for space treatments of 5,000 sq. Ft. with a contact kill of flying and crawling insects in commercial and residential indoor areas, including food handling. Kyle LiamMy name is Kyle Liam.
The exterminator should be able to sort it out, no exceptions. I will PM you a link a little later, check it out when you get a chance. Otherwise, I recommend using DE and my DIY flea traps, both topics have articles on this blog.
Follow these precautions to keep your family and property safe
I used a fogger in my room and hasn’t seen any more , but feel them on my skin and every little dark speck looks like it. Today while I vaccum all the borax from my couches, I saw another 2. I read from one of your replies that the foggers will not work on the couches?
He said it would work better if both the house and yard were did at the same time. It seems to me either way they would keep coming back. I have a huge house flea bombs are junk.
If You Are Exposed to a Bug Bomb
Hi Paige, sorry to hear that 🙁 I recommend that you check out my DE article, as well as my DIY flea trap article. Those two are cheap and they work very well, give them a try. If you keep the windows shut and follow the instructions on the bottle, you will be fine. I highly recommend doing the entire apartment at once, it will not be as effective if you do it like that.
I believe that fleas are in my closet and on my clothes and shoes. I washed again and again but couldn’t get rid of. I’m so tired because of cleaning everything again and again. Importantly, vacuum the house. This ensures that the fleas are the most active before treatment and ensures a higher success rate for killing them. I also make a habit of hot washing my pet’s bedding to kill any fleas.
Don’t Use Flea Bombs or Foggers Until You Read This!
He did spray in the closets. The clothes in the closets. Hello I have fogged my apt twice for fleas hut am starting to think maybe I’m doing it the right way and that’s why I still have the lil pests. I also wonder cam fleas be hiding in our clothes perhaps or couch pillows?
I’m hoping a raid flea bomb will work but I just don’t know what to do with all of our other stuff. Be careful of using flea foggers if someone in the family has an asthma problem as sometimes it can cause an attack, even a couple days after the treatment has been completed. Because they fill the entire room with pesticides, these products are not to be used without prior knowledge of safe practices. Since most bug bombs contain pyrethrins, they can be employed against virtually any kind of insect. They are best suited for use in situations where there are large numbers of insects confined to a certain room of a home, such as flies, or even bed bugs. Contrary to popular belief, more is not always better.
None of the flea products we put on our pets seem to be working to keep the fleas off & I’ve tried just about everything. ~ Capstar is extremely effective in killing adult fleas fast to give your pet almost immediate relief, however it only last 24 hrs and does not kill the larvae or eggs. ~ Diamatacous Earth is wonderful and very inexpensive but it’s not recommended alone for heavy infestations. Also I’d like to note that I’ve only had success with this on the carpet. It doesn’t seem to work well for tile or hard wood floors. (Don’t breathe in the dust though as it will cause breathing & throat problems).
Can I possibly put them in a room that is usually locked for eight hours? The DE will be used in addition to the fogger, but has to be ordered online. Please advise asap as I need to integrate the other three cats within a week. I went out as soon as possible and bought some “Hot Shot” foggers and decided to do some research before applying when I came across your site that I enjoyed reading.
Removing pets from your home just because you see fleas or get a few flea bites is actually going to make things worse on you and your family. Fleas dont actually like to bite humans but once you remove the pets they have no choice. Using a flea pill on your pet and leaving your pet in the flea area will actually just about remove all fleas.
