Indoor Fogger problem? I am still seeing fleas!

My dad use a couple on the house like last week. I have not seen any fleas until today. I was on my porch and one jumped on me. I also went into my living room and one jumped on me. My mother for some apparent reason closed the living room door so I guess the fogger didn't get in. What should I do? I don't think my mom or dad will buy a new fogger...

  1. Foggers don't work.  They'll kill some of the existing fleas but don't kill the developing eggs.  So in a few weeks, new fleas will hatch and the problem is back again.  Foggers also cover EVERYTHING in the room - furniture, walls - places fleas won't be.  So you leave a nasty, toxic slime everywhere.

    Instead of foggers get the pets in your home on a monthly spot treatment.  Use Frontline or Advantage - not pet store products.  Products off the shelf are mostly ineffective and contain harsh pesticides that can make your cat very, very ill.  800petmeds.com is a good place to buy the Frontline or Advantage.  Prices are better than vets and shipping is usually free.


  2. Go to the flower store and buy diatomaceous earth.  It's a power and it's non-toxic, you just need to sprinkle it in your pet's bedding and on the carpet.  It will kill the fleas by cutting and dehydrating them.  It is very safe for humans though, it is even in some foods we consume.

  3. You probably didn'tt buy a fogger that killed not only fleas but flea eggs...you have to read the cans closely and the ones that kill flea eggs as well as fleas will cost just a little more...

  4. do it again in a day or two. make sure the door is open. i have the same problem. i did my house, put the once a month treatment on the cats, and flea colars. i was told to do the house once a week for a month to kill all stages of the fleas. make sure you vacum also. then get rid of the bag as soon as you are done. i hope this helps.
