Question

How can I get rid of fleas??

Answer 1

Sprinkle Borax on carpets and leave on overnight.Next day vaccum carpets.Use once a month.

Answer 2

buy some flea powder.  Sprinkle over carpet and furniture.  Be sure to move the couch, etc. to get underneath.  Wait about 2-3 hrs, then vacum.  Immediately take your vac outside, put the bag in a plastic bag and discard.  

If you have pets or children do not allow them into the room until it has been thoroughly vacuumed.  I have sometimes had to do this twice.

Answer 3

Go to Home Depot and get a gallon jug of Enforcer flea killer. It works great. Just follow the instructions. Be sure to vacuum first and empty cup or dispose of bag. And if you have pets you will need to treat them and their bedding as well. I have used this method and haven't seen a flea in over 5 years.

This is just a link to info.....it is much less expensive at Home Depot.

Answer 4

flea bombs work best.

Answer 5

it's all or nothing here..flea bombs do work or 20 mule team borax sprinkled in your carpet not vaccumed up all the way(this softens the eggs in the carpet so walking on them will kill them),then I believe Hartz makes a spray for the carpet also and it kills the fleas and you don't have to leave your home.give the animals a bath and make sure they soak 5-7 min. in flea shampoo.put flea treatment (the kind that goes on their back) 3 days later. and last but not least,,you have to spray the yard or the animal will pick them up as soon as they go outside.bug b gone type things you hook up to the hose usually kill fleas and ticks ..you just have to read.I know it sounds like alot but it is what works!

Answer 6

Salt.     Sprinkle table salt - a whole box - on the floor or furniture.

Wait two hours and vacuum up.  Repeat in two weeks.   Throw out the vacuum bag.
