Question

What is best method to get rid of fleas in the house?

Answer 1

Do a lot of vacuuming...it actually kills them just as effectively as most of the sprays...

Answer 2

Place a few mothballs in the bag of your vacuum cleaner. Sweep every day. After sweeping, sprinkle some salt around on the carpets. This will kill fleas.

Answer 3

OMG, I own a carpet business & I went through this a couple of yrs ago.

The problem with fleas is they multiply so fast. They feed off of blood deposits in the carpet & can lay dormant for mo's.

They are attracted by vibration. I tried everything, bombs, home depot spray. I finally went to an exterminator & got this stuff called Conquer. You put it in a spray bottle & spray the entire floor, bed & furniture.

Well worth the investment. Trust me I lived in agony for mo's.

Answer 4

Do NOT vacuum as one person said.  I am a proffesional dog groomer and I know fleas can live in a vacuum for years.  I suggest purchasing a flea "bomber" or "bomb"  which releases a pesticide in  your home while your at work or something.  It clears the air before you get home and woohlah, flea free.
