had fleas - yes, but not with 2 kids in the house. You will probably have to bomb - can you go visit someone for the weekend? [ Reply | More ]

This is a serious problem, btdt. The fleas are insidious - maybe as bad as I have heard from you guys about bedbugs. Try the obvious solutions first, hot hot washing of every known surface and fabric; have your rugs steam cleaned. Otherwise you may need the bomb. [ Reply | More ]

np don't waste your time with that. Just call a pest control compant and get rid of them. A one time application of pseticide is better than the many times it will take with the do it yourself crap. BTDT! [ Reply | More ]

Yes, it took forever to get rid of them. We had the rugs steam cleaned, vacuumed 3-4x a day for awhile (put a piece of flea collar in the vacuum bag or they crawl back out), washed everything on hot. Finally sprinkled this stuff called diatomaceous earth all over the house and that worked. [ Reply | More ]

Our god had fleas. Our Vet told us that one way to rid the house is just to keep using Frontlien monthly on our dog and it would eventually rid the home too. Worked.. Wonder why all the fuss? [ Reply | More ]
