How To Get Rid of Fleas - Flea Infestation TreatmentIf your house is infested with fleas, I don't envy you. Fleas are miserable and some of the treatments on the market are useless. In my experience though, calling an exterminator is your best bet.
Dear Bethany,
My house has become infested with fleas. It's excruciatingly terrible. I think the dog brought them in... but at this point I don't care. I just want them out! Which of the products should I try? - Agitated in Tyler Dear Agitated, Anyone who owns a pet and allows them to come in and out has probably dealt with the issue of flea control. I have three dogs and love them very much... but man, are we leaving ourselves susceptible to a flea invasion. Those nasty little bugs never leave you alone once they've penetrated the home. They bounce around on the furniture and carpet in search of pets to nibble on. What really stinks is that they can even go after you if they can't find any animals. That's why it's time for some serious flea control. So the question is - what do you do to get rid of fleas? Do you test out those fog cans? You know, the ones that you place in the center of each room and they blow your house full of some smoky chemicals? With those you have to vacate the premises for like 5 hours when you do this. The sad thing is that in my experience this method did not even work. It was one form of flea control that cost me more hassle than it did me good. In the end, that yucky film goes all over everything. I'm talking, you have to wash all the bedding and wipe off the counters. It's a real hassle. Fortunately there are other methods of flea control. A few years back, my home was invaded with tons of these tiny, irksome bugs. I decided it was time to pull out the big guns. I called an exterminator for help. This was the best form of flea control I had encountered. The exterminator came in, treated every room by spraying some kind of poison around the edges of the carpet, and then he left. This treatment was the bomb! I mean the fleas disappeared. Apparently they all progress to the outside of the carpet and die. Oh, and he also gave us a flea control medication to dab on the back of our dogs' necks. In the end, I have to recommend this route to flea control. I guess the professionals know what they're doing.
