Hi ,

Wow, what a drag! Here in California, we have a bad flea problem,

especially if you live by the beach. I don't know if this helps, but

what we do is spread Borax on the carpet and leave it there for

three days ( thats the gestation time for a flea) and it smothers

the adult and baby fleas. then we just vaccuum it up. You have to be

sure to take the vaccuum bag out and throw it way or else the fleas

will come back. It is non-toxic just be careful about lil ones

crawling/sitting on the floors.

Best of luck to you!

Gosh, I really hate the spraying . They do that over here too. We also have

sprays in the evening in the summer if your near the water or places where

misquotes and other pesky bugs. Also in the citrus tress. I guess they have

to do it BUT, it isn't good for those with respiratory conditions. You take

care. Can you go visit away for awhile . ?/I do understand that isn't easy

with a wee one .Bless you , take care now

Fleas in the house

aaaaaaggggg I am so SICK of chemicals. I had the house de flead with a pest

company that has the best one I could find but still a chemical. Well we

have fleas agin, it is meant to last for 6 months!!! He said he will do it

again for free but thats not the concern, its Liam WCF. I took him away for

the night last time but then back into our chemical sick house. Another

thing i severy wednesday our city is getting aireal sprayed for a moth that

could destroy our pine trees, lots of money in that for New Zealand. Well

get this they have found ONE moth in june and thats ALL. Now we have to

suffer 8 aireal sprays. I am away with Liam at 5:00am to avoid the spray

for the day, I got o my mothers about 25 km away. I cannot seem to get away

from the shit(excuse me) I am so sick of people trying to make us sick with

their so called safe chemicals, its just all bull shit. As you can see I am

angery, all I want is for my family to be happy and healthy is that to much

to ask for. And o the government wont relocate us for the spraying becuase

we are 4 Km out of the spray zone, HELLO!!! Spray drift!!!! Dum people.

Many people have moved till the end of the spraying espcially ones with

respiratory issues and chemical senstivity. Many have also been relocated.

have you tried good old laundry borax to rid your home of pests? Sprinkle it

into the carpet liberally and let it sit overnight and vaccummn in the morning.

You can do this once a week if any of the fleas survive the first treatment.

What happens with the borax is the insects get it on thier feet so to speak and

from there they ingest it and quickly dehydrate and die. and then you just run

the vac and fleas and borax are gone.

This is what we do for fleas. If you have a local agriculture or farm supply

store buy a bag of granulated sulfur from them. Sprinkle it around the base of

your house including in front of doors. Then work your way out into the yard,

scattering it by the handfuls. If you have carpet in your house you can scatter

it on the carpet and let it set a bit before you vacuum it up. We fill old

socks with it and keep it under some of the furniture. You can also use the

sock to dust yourself or the dogs with before going out where the fleas are

heavy. That should take care of them for a while. If it rains really heavy you

will have to do the yard again. Here in Texas the summers are so dry we only do

the yard twice in the summer. If you make sure and sprinkle the sulfur just

around the time the fleas begin to hatch out in the spring you can pretty much

contain them all summer.

We use this method as I am extremely sensitive to insecticides. Passing close

enough to them in the store is enough to trigger headaches and nausea.

We treat the 4 cats and 1 dog. We live in Florida and have never had a flea

problem. We have lived in our house for 15 years and have never treated the

inside. Just have the yard sprayed. None of us have ever had a reaction.
