I recently have had another infestation, btw we don't have animals in the house. He told me to use Borax detergent booster, this helped but they arent gone. My exterminator came and sprayed, they are still here. I am going to keep trying. Last time we bombed the house and it worked, but that is such a messy clean up, and only kills the adult fleas anyway.

I have vacumned a bunch of times and the new renter put off bug bombs at least 5 times. Still have alot of fleas and the renter asked for the money back that he paid to move in. This was because of the last renter with a dog, but I'm wondering how he lived in there, even though I know the fleas had a dog to live on while he was there. I'll try the borax or the boric acid and I'll let you all know how it worked. I have had the bug man over 3 times in 2 weeks to my little cottage I have for rent.

I think you would like me. I have a liking for insects and have taken lots of pictures/videos on these little beauties. I have made a DVD for sale recently. Please help out with your purchase as I would love to make more including those of hoverflies, ants, common flies, robberflies, damselflies, butterflies, beees, mantis but they are time consuming. I need to be sure it can be rewarding as I need to be able to support myself. Thanks Al Hi there …

Her dogs keep getting fleas and she swears there not in her house because the animals are not infested so she says. I believe that if your animals have them there in your house. She said that if the animals are not infested there not in her house at least she has'nt seen any on her or her family! Her house is full of carpet and I always thought if you treat your animal you have to treat your house. I have dogs and I will not take them over anymore unless she treats her house. She is going to put some kind of salt in the carpet, what the hell does that do? My sister has two dogs and one cat that goes outside and visits the field across the street.

They are all over the siding. This has been attracting woodpeckers who are taking chucks of sliding off as they eat the fleas. What do you use for fleas ON your house?? Have never seen this before.

I had this problem and tried everything just like Jory. Wish I would've had this sight to read about them. You hit the nail right on the head with the life cycle and the fact that they are constantly evolving. I found that out the hard way, but with enough searching I did eventually find a solution that really works. Wondercide is the best treatment around, and the great thing is that I don't have to worry about spraying it around my lil' ones...it's completely chemical free! I know how hard those little boogers are to get under control once it's out of control. I hope I can help anyone in that situation by telling them about something that really does work. So look up Wondercide and you'll be happy you did! Oh my gosh fleas ARE the BIGGEST pain in the world. I had this problem and tried everything just like Jory.
