I don't think there are any.

Btw, our came from the dog that laid under a tree that had a bird feeder in it.

The seed gets knocked down and the birds peck at it on the ground.

I didn't know it at the time but birds are loaded with fleas.

Current;y got the same problem.. I@m looking for the hceap ass remidies though to get rid of them from the house without having to bomb the place with a load of chemicals.


Best of luck with that.

Forget cockroaches surviving a nuclear attack........it will be the fleas.



pahunkboy -> RE: bad news. I must flea bomb the house (8/6/2010 8:23:52 AM)

this bomb is unscented.

Believe me- I did not want to admit it...   but this weekend is it.     Another week- and I would have to evacuate.

You can not wait till the absolute last minute.

I am glad I am not the only one here.     tho- I feel for you as well.

As are wild rabbits, squirrels, coyotes, deer, chipmunks, rats, mice, etc etc etc.......... The more wildlife around the house, the higher risk of fleas.

I hate fleas.

Don't even get me started on ticks.

Frontline Plus......... the only way to survive it.



pahunkboy -> RE: bad news. I must flea bomb the house (8/6/2010 8:27:33 AM)

I live next to a river- so that draws some of it.



Jeffff -> RE: bad news. I must flea bomb the house (8/6/2010 8:28:51 AM)

FLeas are the worst.

You are sitting there, minding your won business and WHAM!, you have fleas jumping all over you and bitting you.

It sucked!



pahunkboy -> RE: bad news. I must flea bomb the house (8/6/2010 8:30:38 AM)

this batch is not biters.

they will be in a week-



pahunkboy -> RE: bad news. I must flea bomb the house (8/6/2010 8:38:32 AM)

Ok-  1 for kitchen

1 for the Pine room- 1st fl- where the bed is/

1. for the room w computer

1 for the bed upstairs.

that -- for this time... unless I buy more kits- I dont care to shop-  3 rooms open to eachother on my first floor.





LaTigresse -> RE: bad news. I must flea bomb the house (8/6/2010 8:40:49 AM)

They might be biting you but you might be immune to the itch stuff. I am. I am never aware they've bitten me. Others in my family are not so fortunate. As a kid growing up, we always had pets. We were also poor and animal pest stuff was a lot less advanced. Fleas ran rampant in that house. Now that I think back.......the house I grew up in, was just disgusting.[:'(]

And PA, if you don't do what we've told you..........ENTIRE house, yard and pet.......I reserve the right to tell you "WE TOLD YOU SO!!!" when you come back complaining about fleas.[:D]

And 1 for the basement and 1 for the porch. Then use the other two any place where the spread of the bomb is questionable.

Maybe 2 in the basement and 2 upstairs?

Face it dude, you have to shop again.



pahunkboy -> RE: bad news. I must flea bomb the house (8/6/2010 8:43:37 AM)

My buddy had them in Chicago.   Our legs would be all red and irritated.

While these are annoying and you do itch it off- they are not the OMG- get me out of here itch-

(YET)     key word   -- yet.

I hate shopping.

I do - I do.

lol.

Not as much as your gonna hate fleas if you don't.



pahunkboy -> RE: bad news. I must flea bomb the house (8/6/2010 8:52:08 AM)

LAT,

you KNOW I am going to have a thousand rationalizations.... lol.

I see your point.

In that- if I do it half ass- I WILL need a follow up- where as if I do it all the way- I may or may not need a follow up.



Toppingfrmbottom -> RE: bad news. I must flea bomb the house (8/6/2010 8:52:28 AM)

Just because the cat doesn't don't mean the flea's won't. Fleas travel and from my guess they don't stay in just only the area the cat's in.

The cat never goes in the basement.





Toppingfrmbottom -> RE: bad news. I must flea bomb the house (8/6/2010 8:55:20 AM)

Some of the flea collars out there are toxic to humans and animals are NOT a good idea. I don't know of all the kinds out there, but I am thinking of those hard white plastic ones from way back that smelled awful and buckled onto your pet.

and collar (if the cat will tolerate it)



pahunkboy -> RE: bad news. I must flea bomb the house (8/6/2010 8:58:45 AM)

One really does not walk thru that porch- tho it does have the wash machine there.

I have 4 doors onto the house.  So- that one is seldom used.



angelikaJ -> RE: bad news. I must flea bomb the house (8/6/2010 9:03:58 AM)

If the porch has screens and not windows you can close, you will be wasting a bomb.

You would be better off using a spray product like Adams that has an insect growth regulator in it.

You do need to be certain kitty is outside.

And LaT recommended Frontline Plus... good stuff.




pahunkboy -> RE: bad news. I must flea bomb the house (8/6/2010 9:16:28 AM)

I wub my kitty cat.



slvemike4u -> RE: bad news. I must flea bomb the house (8/6/2010 9:17:44 AM)

No,no,no La tige...frontline has lost it's edge(or the fleas have developed a resistance)...after bombing and treating the pets(a dog and a cat) with frontline....I was right back at PetSmart....the young lady said I was not the first customer back for seconds....she suggested I try Advantage(available on line or from your vet)tried it and have been flea free since.All of that was last year...this year I had to deflea my Dommes house after her cat brought home guests...used Advantage again...viola ,no more fleas.I love my Domme and would(and have ) done anything for Her...but fleas are a HARD limit...the suckers luuuuuve me,guess I have sweet blood [:D]
