Guest guest Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Debs - We had a flea bloom a few years back and did the powders and baths to no avail. Be careful if you put the Frontline on your animal - don't use a flea shampoo before the recommended time so you don't overload your animal with poison. The best thing I found for the carpets and under the cushions of the sofa and chairs was Demon. It can be purchased at a " Do-It-Yourself " Pest Control store. Vacuum the carpets really good (under furniture, edges along baseboards, under cushions), then lightly spray all areas (1 dissolvable packet per gallon of water in a pump up sprayer). They also have something in a spray can that works well, but I worry more about the fumes from that as it is aerosol. Demon has no odor and once dry, it is non-toxic to pets and children and it will kill other joyous insects that are known to get into our Florida homes. I always vacuum again after it dries. Once your infestation is under control, having the carpets steam cleaned will rid it of any leftover eggs. Sue, I've found moths in dog and cat food before, too, so I wonder if they are coming from more than just the bird food. Our cats took great pleasure on getting those pesky things removed from the house. Hope this helps some, ladies. Take care - praying for pain free days.
