Oh and for the record. I didn't have to vacuum at all...well except to clean up the dead fleas.

Go get a big box of 20 Mule Team Borax. Sprinkle it on the carpets throughout the entire house. Leave it set for a few days/a week and vacuum it up.

You can buy 20 Mule Team Borax at WalMart in the laundry detergent isle.

Yes, I'm serious about the borax http://www.tipking.co.uk/tip/6575.html

One summer the fleas came in the basement at m other house. The borax took care of them in under a week.

Borax fucks up some roaches too. Bugs walk through it, end up ingesting it, and it fucks 'em up from the inside out.

Good shit.

Umm... what happens if your pets ingest it?

FWIW, I just won the war here and it was an epic battle to be sure!

1st throw away any and all pet store flea crap...they all suck!!! Trust me, I tried several before giving up.

2nd bomb!!! Wait a few days and bomb again!

3rd VACUUM!!!

4th Bathe the animals to correspond to the bombings

5th Use Frontline

I got it on the cheap from Australia of all places- I'll try and find the link. It took a few days to come but it was like less than half, I think.

Most of all, be diligent and keep them inside as much as possible while you are at war! If you keep them in your yard, spray down your yard as well and keep them away from other animals until you have dosed them with Frontline.

Check Amazon, super good deals there!

Well, it works by dehydrating the bugs from the inside.

In the amounts you'd use for treating for bugs, it's effective against insects, but probably not enough to dehydrate fluffy.

Cool. I've heard about borax before but I've always been afraid of poisoning my pets.

Puggy had fleas once, what a pain in the ass.

I bathed her a couple of times and fleas fell off into the suds and washed off. and then put advantage on her too. took about 48 hours and didn't see anymore.

i don't remember bombing the house, but i did use a flea spray and sprayed everywhere and then washed all the sheets.

I got her shampoo and flea spray from the vet, but i forgot what brand it was. I smelled really potent, it was in a white and navy bottle.

Advantage is amazing. Both my cats got fleas once and as soon as I put the Advantage on them I started to see fleas literally falling off the cats and dying. They would fall out of their fur and struggle on the ground where I'd pick them up in a piece of toilet paper and squeeze em til they popped.
