Guest guest Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Where Did you find the article on the side effects of pyrethium? I have done some research on the neuro toxins with deltamethrin (a synthetic form of phyrthum) but it seems that no Pest control cos. Use anything else? Any ideas? I hate to & do not want to use chemicals to get rid of the fleas, but I am so frustrated my son has a very rare form of cancer & autism so I am very cautious when it comes to using anything in our home that might worsen issues. Also, I need to use a pest control co. As I can not seem to get a handle on the situation. We even went so far as to throw all rugs away & rip up some carpeting in our home. I hate when I see these fleas on my children, I feel like a bad mother. I don't even know how we got these $ & @?€£¥ fleas, but I want them gone today! Oh I even sprinkled the up stairs with baking powder I know we got some but oh my what a bi$ & h it was to get up after I washed the floors with peroxide. Any help will be appreciated!

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I have used food-grade diatomaceous earth (It's a " flour " , or a fine powder) to successfully kill bugs inside (fleas from dogs as well as bed bugs we picked up on vacation). I bought the food grade DE flour online (you can use it for killing internal parasites in humans and pets, too!), and put it along walls on the floor, as well as rubbing into carpets and rugs, then vacuuming it up after a few hours. I put it on my pets' beds, and have brushed it into their fur too. It definitely has worked! I hate putting chemicals on my pets to kill fleas, but don't want them bringing them inside. The DE kills insects by abrading their exoskeletons, but it doesn't harm pets or humans - just don't breathe in the powder! Good luck! - > > > > > Subject: Re: Brewers yeast -w3m1 > > To: mb12valtrex > > Date: Saturday, May 5, 2012, 8:30 AM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Â > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Fleas don't usually live on people because they > > don't have enough hair, > > > > but they will live in carpets or upholstery or bedding.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Getting rid of carpeting has been amazingly wonderful for us. Carpets collect bugs, hair, mold, smells, stains, etc. I think it's all over the Internet about pyrethium and personal horror stories about it causing auto-immune disorders, from chronic fatigue to schizophrenia to developmental problems. Are you saying you don't have any pets, nor any pets have come to visit? If this is true, then I don't see how you can have fleas, unless you visited a home with gobs of fleas and some hitched a ride back to your house. Love and prayers, Heidi N We even went so far as to throw all rugs away & rip up some carpeting in our home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
