just rescued a kitten its full of fleas, you’ll have to use a flea spray for furniture/flooring, plus treat the animal with a seperate prescription flea spray/injection

Get ready for a clean-fest! Use your vacuum on your mattress, curtains and floors thoroughly and then immediately empty out the bag and take it outside – because the fleas can and will crawl right back out if you don’t. Bathe your dog with a good flea shampoo and make sure any fleas that come out of her coat get flushed down the toilet. You should also buy the dog one of those pet mattresses – make sure you get one that is stuffed with cedar shavings because fleas can’t tolerate cedar. And finally, use a flea collar on your dog. If the infestation has spread, there are aerosol sprays available at most pet stores that you can use on your carpets and upholstered furniture to kill any remaining fleas as well as spray the yard. My two dogs had such a bad infestation a couple of years ago from a stray cat that was hanging around that it took me a few weeks to get rid of them all. Good luck!

i would first take my dog to the vets and have his fleas taken care of and while you’re away taking care of the pooch purchase flea fogger and set it off in your bedroom and house and when you get back your home should be flealess as should your dog

Unfortunately, you may have to resort to a bug bomb type of treatment. You need a good chemical to kill all of the fleas. The hot water and soap may kill some of the live fleas but not the eggs. There may be some organic/herbal solutions but I’m not aware of anything. You might want to check with a vet, pet shop or local pest control. They’d be able to tell you the best way to treat the fleas.

first you have to get the fleas off your dog and out of your yard. until flea season is over keep dog out of your bedroom. hotspot things bug bomb is the best. things that i have tried that have worked are garlic spray bayleaves work wonders in your kitchen and black pepper sprinkled on floor and cabnets works for a while. but the bomb works best

To stop a flea problem, you need to rid your dog of them. I recommend Frontline for fleas, ticks and eggs. You will longer have fleas.

We have had success with frequent (multiple times per day) vacuumings, until the fleas are gone. The dog will have to stay treated during the ridding process.

I had the same problem a few years ago. You need to get the dog some flea medicine; I used Bio-Spot (you can purchase it at http://www.1800petmeds.com). Put it on your dog and let them romp around in the room that is infested. The dog will rub little bits of the medicine on carpet, bedding, or whatever and it will kill the fleas. I swear by this. We were infested for months and kept trying flea bombs, but nothing worked until this. After you use this vacuum frequently to get up all of the dead fleas and any larvae that may be left.

if you or someone you know have a banana tree,get a piece of stalk and cut it into pieces.Put them where the fleas are.It will get rid of them.After the banana stalk dries out get some more.You can hide the pieces of banana stalk so people won’t see them.
I had the same problem two months ago.
I guess the fleas don’t like the scent or something but it works !
