Scruffy Bastardo there was a documentary a long time ago you could watch..........I think it was called “honey I shrunk the kids” . This should give you an idea of what to do.
Fighting fleas is a battle of attrition, I've been constantly vaccuming, mopping, and reapplying poison, got flea treatments for all my pets, used sevin dust around the perimeter and porch as well as light and bowl traps all over the house, and I'm applying a growth inhibitor tonight lol. it's been about two weeks of constant effort but I can finally wear shorts in my house and only have to worry about getting one or two. Best of luck to anyone else fighting these assholes, and remember that it's an ongoing process
Fleas and mosquitos are two species I would be happy to see go extinct. Oh, add ticks to that list! Good luck mate, I am in week 2 of my battle with the micro vampires!
Fleas are annoying. They are biting me. I have applied and I don't see them like I have before. I have used that spray he is talking about. My cats cuddle near me. Good luck getting rid of them- they are annoying. Love my cats. Also if your cat eats the nasty fleas they can get worms. Those are the worst.
I've fought this battle for about 4 years. what worked for me and I tried everything all the home remedies. bombs. pesticides. It's hard work but a steam cleaner and a vacuum are my best friends also dehumidifiers and air conditioning kept my humidity levels below 50% flea free finally hope this helps someone I was so irritated with these little demons. best of luck all
Thank you so much for posting this. I am so sick of pesky fleas and I have tried so many things as well. It's cost me a fortune. But I will follow your advice and I have a feeling its going to work. Many blessings Amanda ❤ 🙌 🙏
@@amandaveganfortheanimals2237 me too. 1 Jahr Kampf, über 800 Euro und nichts hilft dauerhaft. Hin und wieder eine Woche, dann geht es wieder los. Und ich habe ALLES gewaschen, gewischt, gesaugt. I hate flees
When I see your exact comment on other videos 😭 These fleas are an issue considering we have a pregnant cat along with six others and a guinea pig as inside pets, we have six dogs and one of them just gave birth under the house 😃
@@waltersobchak7275 im waiting for flea bombs to come, daily washing of everything fabric,put curtains and duvets in dryer,i have found them in the inside seams of the clothes i am wearing, pups and cats have collars (and had frontline solution put on two wks ago,) cant get any alcohol spray yet, but i have 60% handgel, i dont know what to get to spray on grass and shrubs outside, ive heard that is also necessary, my back door is a foot and half from laurel hedging,i hoover twice a day,yet these effing blighters just appear, i even found one in a tissue that had made its way into couch fold, who knew fleas could be such a scourge,i hope you see results soon, and oh Happy Easter!
Sorry to hear I remember when one of my newest cat was a kitten (3yrs old now) he to had brought fleas and those pesky bugs kept bitting me and my family members alot in out legs. now a days it's rare for them to bite us. What we did was vacuum consistently and killed any flea that was on us I suggest (catching and flushing down in the tolite so they won't come back compared to sinks) also we used fastcaps those mini pills used to kill fleas within 30 minutes but there's only 6 of those pills. It does take time until the flea infestation will go away about within a year and a half I believe or more. During night they are a real problem especially if they are In your bed mattress I'd suggest using bug repellent on your legs to guarantee a night without any irritating bites. Just keep fighting the fleas and eventually they'll decrease drastically on your floors.
Same here! I thought I'd be the only one experiencing this during covid and for the first time nonetheless! It's making staying indoors even more intolerable especially since I've been bitten. We have tried almost everything from flea shampoo baths, grooming and fur cut, cleaning blankets and surfaces she frequently sits on. Now we need to clean the carpets the couch covers, blankets, and everything to make sure they are gone for good. This is going to be a major spring cleaning. By all the lights I left bowls of dawn dish soap with warm water so catch them. I also am going to make flea traps with cones going into cups filled with sweet juice or sugary drinks to trap them inside.
You can also take a really shallow bowl or lid or plate of some sort. Put some dawn or liquid dish soap in the water enough til it fells slimy like but don’t maybe it foamy. Put a night light or a lamp next to that of the night in all your rooms that are infected. They will try to get to the light and get stuck in the soapy water. It really works. Do that along with all the other methods of getting rid of fleas. It helps a lot.
Absolutely works, got cheap led desk lamps frw yrs ago, kept them and can determine fleas population goes away. Keep water & dawn mix repeat set up after dump in wc & start agsin, BEST IS AT NIGHT light draws them in captured & they drown in it!
This is how my parents eliminated fleas in the 90s. We didnt live in the house yet though but, the fleas were so bad youd have 30 on your legs in seconds.
Honestly ready to end it all I’m tired of this & I feel absolutely ugly from all the scars. None of my family is taking this seriously and I’m the only one getting bitten
SAMEEE. five months later did it ever get better do u have tips?? my mom DOESNT care and theyre all over my carpet. im 16 and im the only one that seems to actually want to work hard and kill them all. im so annoyed
@@kai-mo8tt Yeah it got better since I've put one flea trap.( the dishwater trick). After that, we got those flea collars and surprisingly it worked. We also occasionally comb the cat with the flea comb. In short, keep making those traps and isolate dem cats if you must. Just make sure to check the cat for any new fleas. Either ways, one of my cats just gave birth to 5 kittens so umm i don't wanna to go through hell again 😭
I meant rinse warm. Anyway , cats are difficult if you cannot bathe them. I go everyday with fleacomb and a dish with soapy water, where the comb gets dipped and fleas into water, then dry comb and do it all over again . It helps big time ! Then take a lintroller and roll all the indoor catplaces and vacuum frequently. God bless you and your family and pets. Amen
Hi guys here are my tips and experience with dealing fleas. We had a 15 year old doggie that was put to sleep 1 week ago. She was being eaten alive because she couldn’t fight back the fleas. Hence the infestation of fleas. Here is what seemed to work so far: 1. Vacuum EVERY DAY. (And I vacuum the floor as well) 2. Enforcer Flea Carpet Killer (found in target, walmart etc about 5 bucks) i used 3 because we have a lot of carpet. But sprinkle it around the carpet and leave it for a day) i made sure to close the room and kept away for the first hour because it had a strong (good) smell. Lol i know but yeah ANYWAYS this def KILLED ADULT FLEAS. When i vacuumed I saw them which seemed like they were having a seizure. YES KILL EM ALL! But it did take about 1-2 days for them to be having seizures. 3. Borax + Salt. This dehydrates the eggs and lave which is the root of the problem. Doesn’t necessarily kill adult fleas but their eggs. But sprinkle on top of carpet and leave for 24 hours then vacuum. 4. Shallow bowl + water + few drops of DISH SOAP. I lay several around the house and after a day I have found some dead in the bowls. This DROWNS the fleas its so satisfying. Sometimes when I catch one with my fingers I decide their death, drowning or being crushed by my finger nails I always choose Drowning. You just see them drown and fight for their lives. 5. Wash bed sheets, pillow cases etc. Once a week. Just in case. Currently we have no other pets, so yes fleas will eventually die (within a month with NO host ) but doing these things I’ve seen an improvement. And for those being bit on the legs and ankles I RECOMMEND using high socks and putting them ABOVE your jeans, leggings etc so they can’t bite you. I used to cry because I would get bit all the time and it was painful but now that my socks are on top and pants/leggings tucked underneath my socks I am Itch-free and have not gotten bit. HOPE THIS HELPS! And yes quarantine did not make this any easier!! Ps: my vacuum doesnt use bags its just a canister so after I vacuumed I released the trash from the vaccuum into the trash barrel and spray RAID on top to kill fleas.
@@devannabaker515 There are a lot of good suggestions here. Treat the pets first or bring them to the vet for a flea bath.Let them stay there overnight do you can spray & clean the house in the meantime.
@@devannabaker515 If you can sweep or vacuum your floors every day! and set out the bowls with water and soap all around the house. Trust me this will help!
@@devannabaker515 sprinkle food grade diatameous earth all over floors and leave it there til fleas are dead. Kills everything eggs etc. Bath pet often with dish soap and vinegar. When u notice no more fleas on pet or around just vacuum up the powder. Makes bit of a mess walking thru powder but works and chemical free
Also if you wear lavender oil they won't jump on you. It doesnt last forever buy I put it on before bed and they stop jumping on me. Not a forever treatment but it helps you deal.
my cats have fleas. when we used a spray, they all went to my cats face. it was a horrible sight to see. I was scared of fleas at first but whenever i see them i get filled with anger and try my best to get it off of them
I am so frustrated, we moved to a new place and they followed us here!! I feel so dirty and close to crying. I hate these damn things and I’ve been doing everything I can to get rid of these things!!
Hi! Go online and READ about how to get rid of them. Also treat everything at least 3 times (every 2 weeks) in order to break the flea life cycle. Don't give up! You can do this 😊
Maria Bello hi, it actually helped that we moved from carpets to wood floors. Plus with the move, we were constantly rearranging furniture which meant a lot more vacuuming and getting rid of a lot of stuff. We would constantly clean and then as soon as we were done with vacuuming, we would empty and clean the tank and filter. Vacuuming I hear can trigger the eggs to hatch because of heat which is why the emptying was so important. So they couldn’t come out. We did this pretty much everyday. This took some time too so be prepared for that and to do it for a few weeks. I also did a lot of laundry and got rid of anything else that we didn’t need. One of our dogs has long hair and is prone to fleas so he got his summer cut and is now medicated and checked pretty regularly. I would give the food grade DE a shot even though I didn’t get the chance to but also be consistent with vacuuming if you’re able. That’s kind of what helped I feel, just being almost obsessive with cleaning so that the eggs can’t get a chance to come back too. Make sure to get the cracks and crevices because they will try to come back. If you have pets, make sure to give them what they need so that the fleas also don’t have a host to feed off of. I understand the frustration so I really hope you’re able to find a system that works for you that can get rid of them before they get too out of hand where you might have to call for a specialist. Good luck!
Thank you everyone for your comments. Its been like a mini group therapy session! I have two Huskies that I have to walk twice a day and I know they pick them up on their walks and bring them home. I'm fortunate I don't get bit for some reason but I've been at this for 3 months already😵I've yet to find the happy balance between a life and flea death but..."If you're going through hell, keep going!" Update- it’s been a month and we are on the other side of hell😅It’s been raining a bit and they still get a few here and there but it seems the worst is over.
I'm happy for you, I can't say the same for myself though. My cat recently caught fleas from another cat and brought it home. I've been completely stressed ever since. Feels like I can't live a normal life anymore without being itchy and catching fleas on my cat and ankles all the time. Please, do you have any advice on how I can get rid of them for good?
Get some Capstar pills, works for 24 hours, and kills adult fleas you're dog picks up from outside. Safe to use every day if needed. I had a recent infestation and this was what finally worked for me.
I'm gonna definitely try this! I've been fighting fleas every year buying every product imaginable. For a while Frontline used to work great. Never had a flea problem. But either the fleas mutated or they started watering down their product because now it doesn't help at all. Feel so bad for my boys scratching 24/7. I'm praying these products end up working...
I buy K9 Advantix II. We had a flea bag outdoor/barn cat who gave our yard fleas but Advantix kills the fleas on our one dog. The other dog doesn't ever have dead or live fleas on him and I comb them both outside before they come back in our house, so the topical solution must work really well. You have to get the yard under control too. We have TruGreen coming Monday. I just hope our home is not infested!
@@melissam33 is the medication on that you have to put on their backs or is it an edible kind? I usually use pet armor and it seems to kill most but I doesnt work as well as it used to. Looking for another alternative!
@@timhughes4634 it is the one you put on their backs. I start with the back of the neck and go all the way to the tail. It's the red, white and gray box. I have to buy for XL size but it has recently been on clearance at my local Walmart for $24.98 for two doses. Fleas are dead by contact, they do not even have to bite. I have read on multiple articles that fleas have become immune to Frontline. I've never used that brand and don't plan on it now. K9 Advantix II is definitely working!
Also, you can reapply weekly if the problem is really bad. Once you get it under control you can move to monthly. I just have a hard time putting that much chemical on my dogs, but if it came down to that or my home infested, I would do it.
I’ve resorted to wearing long white socks and walking around my house, allowing them to jump all over my legs. Then I sit down and pick them off one by one and place them into a bowl of soapy water. On day 3 of doing this, the number of fleas I get per day is shrinking.
Honestly its a good way to break the cycle. Fleas can only reproduce after drinking blood. Another method that works is vacuuming twice a day. The vibrations from the vacuum makes the flea eggs hatch, then you suck up the adults before they can feed. It's worked wonders in the past for me.
What Im about to say works, but make sure your pet isnt inside for atleast 20-30 mins while this process goes. Youll need: Spray Bottle Water Dawn Dish soap (the one with the duck) Pine Glo/Pine Sol I know that last ingredient sounds bad, but it kills upon contact. Also this mixture leaves your treated room smelling amazing. To make it: Fill 1/4th of the bottle with Dawn Dish Soap Fill 1/4th of the bottle with Pine Sol/Glo At this point, the bottle should be halfway full Fill the rest of the bottle with Water, and mix evenly. Use this before you vacuum as a pretreat method, and the ingredients are very cheap, and easy to come by :)
I am trying this method I never been but by a flea but I’m at the point where I now have a superior hate for fleas I would rather get bit by mosquitoes sadly at this point cause at least you can hear them and see they better 😢
@@Dayvakiin Its a process, and catch them while they are in smaller quantities so that you dont have a big case like I do. Im still undergoing my process, but try to be patient, and do the same steps every day. If you have a steamer that reaches 200 Degress Fahrenheit, use that on wherever the infected room is, as that kills them on contact. Make sure to assess every single inch of the room. I do spray > Steam > Spray more > Round 2 of Steaming, and then i flea bomb the room.
Found out what my indoor cat was suffering from,she was in a real bad shape, still work in progress,it had been difficult to get rid of this infestation and i live on a 1st floor pfff daily care will get us there
I’m currently battling fleas, it’s absolutely exhausting. we had an exterminator come about 3 days ago. our cat is treated yet we’re still seeing them. i’ve vacuumed like crazy and i am also going crazy. im on the verge of a mental breakdown and im tired. I don’t know what else to do
I have depression and my neighbor's cats have brought fleas into my home through the garden. I am too exhausted most of the time to clean and that's one of the best ways to get rid of them. It makes me feel so disgusting and I just needed to vent lmao
Don't forget garlic......Dr. Becker quoted the original study about not giving digs garlic.... BS.....because you would have to feed your dog an entire BULB OF GARLIC, no dog or human is going to eat an entir bulb. Just Give 1 to 2 cloves of garlic .....we used to feed my dogs garlic cooked in their food a few times a week and they never had fleas and never got hemolytic anemia or any other medical problems. Going to start giving my 2 dogs garlic. FYI....THEY SAY THIS IS THE WORST YEAR FOR FLEAS BECAUSE OF ALL THE RAIN AND WARM WEATHER. Good Luck Everyone.... .
I just want to share with you guys what I did...AND I TRIED EVERYTHING! I put my animals on Braveto- used ORTHO HOME PEST CONTROL FOR BED BUGS AND FLEAS AS A RESIDUAL- every two weeks and treated several times with Novacide. I vacuumed everyday for 3 weeks- we had a bad infestation. Washed ALL clothes blankets....EVERYTHING. I also treated my yard and cars for fleas.
I had a 2 month battle with fleas. My cats infected the whole house with them and I just remember it being a nitemear. They messed me up everyday and night but I ended up winning the fight.
my cat ruined the whole house dude my whole bedroom is made of carpet, and two beds one for me and one for my sis. and the couch and my moms bed and carpet floors. theyre everywhere i hate it :( have any tips?
I just wanna cry 😭 I have treated my dogs and done the house and did the cats for a couple weeks now and I keep seeing them did a flea bath yesterday woke up to a bunch on them again I have a whole acre this is overwhelming
Tbh he didnt touch on the root core of the problem, simple fact is that if you have an animal you will always get fleas its about regulating, and yes you can regulate to the point of almost extinction, growing up my house was so bad the kitchen sounded like it was raining from all the fleas jumping on the linoleum, you could literally hear them all hitting the floors in the dead of night literally sounded like rain, got so bad that the animals were in danger and had to be taken to the vet, he perscribed a medication called Bravecto or maybe Brevacto or Brivicto (idk the guy was indian and as such had an accent so ya know) its apparently a medication grade chemical that is ingested orally that is totally safe for animals (unless they have an allergy) whih makes them release this oil along side the skin oils in their sweat which kill the fleas when they ingest it when biting, its the absolute *BEST* flea medication ive ever experienced even after owning several dogs and cats at a time for my entire life, it complete frees the animal from basically all fleas, its a pill that they only have to take quarterly or every 3 months if i remeber correctly, the only downside is its mildly expensive and it requires a prescription from a vet meaning it requires a vet visit making it more expensive but i promise its worth it, wash the animals every week, spread diatomaceous earth on ur carpet and vacuum every single day, then schedule a hotel visit for 2-3 days, administer the medicine to ur animal, then wash ur animal again once at home, then again at the hotel, ur pup and or kitty should now be relatively flea free, while ur in the hotel fumigate the house with a name brand insecticide like raid or something and let it chill for the entire time ur at the hotel, and then... wait for it.... ...do it all again in a month (aside from the medicine which should only be taken as perscribed) and after 3 or 4 times of doing this youll be as close to flea free as you can get, after that just make sure to keep ur carpets dry and cool and vacuum often and you should be good, hope this helps someone out there 👍
The other day I stepped outside to feed my dogs,came back,and in two minutes found 11 OF THEM ALL OVER MY BODY BITING ME. This has been going on for years and I think it's time to burn the house down
I made my own spray that gets rid of these annoying fleas! Trust me you’ll forever thank me! Slice lemon , boil 30 mins leave on side for 8 hours. Peel the lemons in bowl remove the peels then smash the rinds in and fill bottle with vinegar like half cup then pour the lemon inside! Spray the floors ,cracks, couches , make sure you vaccum and put ur bed sheets and blankets in dryer while ur doing this. On high heat after that throw the vaccum bag in trash and mop the floor with with lemon spray. And spray the bed with it , the table, the pillows it’s ok it’s natural . The smell stinks for “10 mins. Do this everyday you will see them gone in 2-3 days but don’t stop as eggs can appear. They need to be sucked up with vaccum! This was only solution for me that worked since I deal with it 4 years straight! Good luck!
Exactly. Lived in Reno and Vegas for 40 years. Never saw a flea or tick on any of my pets. Moved to Georgia, dogs got them instantly, and so did my legs. Maybe it’s the nice year round weather or the insane humidity here.
I’m going NUTS with these fleas, my cat has em and I believed my lawn is haunted with fleas at this very moment. & the worst part is, I’m the only one who are likely to get bitten no matter how hard I tried to repell and sprinkle crushed moth balls outside of my bedroom. But still, I can still see fleas jumping here and there! Also, I’ve hypersensitive skin. So whenever I have flea bites, it will took me approximately a week to stop swelling and end up having huge ugly marks on my legs 😭😭😭😔
We have a great variety of products for treating fleas, both on your pet and in your home. Reach out to us on our website so we can give you some better recommendations that could help relieve you from the flea infestation.
My dog recently got fleas 😢 I was gonna bomb my apartment with foggers but I’m gonna try this! the foggers would be too much of an inconvenience for me so I really hope this works
Foggers work fast, but don't have a long residual. We always recommend treating the house instead of fogging it. Let us know if you have any questions!
Guys use Bob Martin clear plus flea spray on your furniture, it really works!! And a tip, wear white long socks where you have the most fleas and watch them jump on, kill them with washing up liquid mixed with water in a cup. They suffocate and die straight away. My problem used to be so bad, to the point where I have scars on my legs and especially my feet from the bites. But ever since i started using the flea spray they have decreased in numbers so much. Also flea drops that you can put on your cat work quite well. I find that the collars are absolutely SHIT
Thank you for the great video! I have tiles and have no carpets and I have fleas plaguing my whole apartment, mattress and vinyl sofa included. Should I just get a powerful steamer since I think it's hotter and probably good for my mattress or should I invest in a normal vacuum cleaner because I don't have rugs? Thank you.
They're undoubtedly evolving and it's pissing me off with how many animals I have. Four cats and two dogs and the vet wants my family to bring ALL of them in to get them checked. There's no way we're getting charged $300 just for stepping in the door with six animals. We're trying EVERYTHING, flea collars, diatomaceous earth, liquid medicine, flea baths, vacuuming, flea traps. I hate them so much and I feel so bad for our poor pets...
Fleas are a nightmare pest. They can take between 30 to 60 days to completely rid of them. Each flea can lay 10 eggs a day and each egg can have 60 to 100 fleas inside. This can very easily get out of control. We have a step by step method to eliminate them from your home.
Try using the essential oils....they really hate them, like lemongrass, peppermint, rosemary, and cedar, and mix with some water in a spray bottle ...or, mix with some water and apple cedar vinegar and 10 drops of neem oil; As for mattress, spray your mattress with isopropyl alcohol at least every week between wahing sheets and pillow cases. These things will not hurt your animals. One of my dogs almost died a few years ago with the conventional pesticides....THEY ARE POISON !!!
I'm guessing, I am not the only one in this boat when it comes to dealing with fleas. Standing there, feeling TREMENDOUS guilt because our pet/pets have been scratching themselves raw because they are infested with fleas. Feeling angry and frustrated too the max because you just can't get rid of them no matter how many attempts and products you buy. Well here's 1 treatment THAT DOES NOT WORK.... Standing there focused but mad to the point of rage, looking down at the floor looking for 1 of those fleas and screaming.... "I AM GOING TO KILL EVERYONE OF YOU MOTHER*******" And I don't even cuss. My, and my dogs day will come, don't you worry.
My mom showed me that once you actually catch one, go somewhere that has light and on a light colored table or surface so it doesn't get away. Get something flat or use the top part of your nail and smash it. You'll know it's dead when you hear a pop.
I have found it helpful to wear white socks and keep very tacky tape near all the places I go, If I see a flea on my while sock, I catch it in the tape and fold it over, if done right you can use the same small piece of tape to catch many of them... this of course is in addition to eradicating them, but I find I catch most of them this way that get on me.
Another way to get rid of dog fleas? Dogs like to swim, so take your dog to a lake and let him paddle around in the water for a while; the fleas will drown. Repeat this everyday for a week or so.
My dog had puppies a few months ago. She is a house dog, but we wanted to train the pups to be outside. We built a big dog pin and tried to build it away from really grassy areas. Of course, they were running around outiside the pin most of the time. Our land was actually cleared a couple years ago, so it's mostly loose dirt. However, I do live in a well vegetated region of the country, so I can see how fleas could easily be a problem. I just moved Ellie (my dog) back in a couple weeks ago after all the pups were finally in their new homes, and I immediately treated her and got a visit to the vet. I was still worried, and I think she may have fleas and brought them into my home. She sleeps with me, stays on the furniture, and basically lives like a normal house dog. I'm just worried that I won't be able to get any services to clear my house of fleas because of the pandemic.
If you don't have access to a pest control company, we offer products to homeowners to treat their homes themselves. Visit us on our website for more information.
I just purchased some of you flea treatment i hope it works i had this problem 1 year ago and now again and worst part i don’t even have pets is so frustrating
@@priusa8113 - Don't bother your wallet with these "natural" alternatives, I've spent over a hundred bucks on natural remedies and not one of them actually kills the infestation it just keeps them at bay which isnt too great. Atm we got salt and baking soda spread around the house because apparently, that dehydrates them, welp we'll see if this works soon enough.
I just paid 130$ for 4 doses of a Cheristin for cats at my local vets office. They said it was an RX topical treatment similar to the 6 pack of Revolution Plus I usually buy from them for the same price. They claimed to be out of the revolusion plus and had it on back order. When I got home I started checking Chewy and the others for this new med Cheristin they charged me a $130 for. They had always been close in price to the online sellers like Chewy on the revolution so I figured they were likely close for this new one. They didnt tell me the name before I drove up there. Just that it was equivalent and was applied every 3 months instead of monthly. That sounded great. They gave me 4 doses removed from the box for 129.99$. Chewy and Petmeds have 6 packs of the same RX Cheristin for 60 something bucks, 12 packs for 169.00$. Oh and it is applied monthly. Not tri monthly. Feeling like I just got ripped off by a vet I though I had a good relationship with. I should have asked more questions but I got a little worried when they were outta my usual stuff and just forgot to ask the right questions. I guess even with a "good" vet you really cant let your guard down for a second. They at least could have given me the whole box being that it actually costs less than half of what I just paid. I guess thats just living in the land of the free.... to rip people off as much as you please.
Don't think burning the house down is the solution. Hopefully you found useful information in our videos. Visit us on our website if you have any questions.
It's true - I cannot get control after flea bombing, removing cats, vacuuming, continuously. I have bombed 4 times in the last two months and just lately put down salt and baking soda which was basically useless. There are not a lot jumping on me, but enough to show they're still here. Professional time.
Fleas are extremely difficult to get rid of. Using a bomb or fogger is not going to eliminate your infestation. 1 flea can lay 10 eggs a day! Each egg contains 60 to 100 fleas. This can allow a flea problem to get wildly out of control. We would love to assist you. Give us a call or visit our website.
I am going to be in a war with fleas all winter I'm afraid. But while the soap water and candle makes sense, I have been using a small light with a bendable neck and just enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of a quart sherbet container. I was amazed, and dismayed, on how many. I think they are attracted to the light more than the heat, and there is no way out of oil. Just a thought. Cedar is deadly to fleas btw. So learned more about fleas than I ever wanted to know. I know what I will be doing all winter😝.Might want to check Cedarcide or Wondercide or the like for essential oil based flea solutions that are natural and safe enough to use on humans, including kids. Work for ticks and mosquitoes too.
I used a tea candle sit in the plate an put a bowl of water an dawn dish soap an put in every room turn off the lights during late evening every day for a month an vacuum every day an my problem was solved an got flea medication from the vet. Before it got extremely bad.
I'm done with buying expensive products. I just shampoo my cats and pour baking soda on the floor in every room including the furniture. I repeat this process every few days plus wash everything. It works and baking soda is like 50 cents a box. No harmful chemicals or fumes.
Baking soda works very well. I use salt though. I also use beneficial nematodes which are microscopic worms that eat all 4 stages of fleas, the adult, the lava, the pupa, and the cocoon. Nematodes feast on fleas and other insects but only work in the yard. A lot of people forget to treat the outside premises of their homes. Nematodes are harmless to pets and humans but are a flea's worst nightmare...i love them.
My 2 cats and 3 dogs are infested with fleas, they scratch until they're bleeding and sometimes even whimper because they cant satify the itch. I have tried SO MANY things for 2 years and nothing has worked, it has only gotten worse. I have almost lost hope. Please if anyone has had this bad of an experience, I would love to get some tips!!!
A 003 Fog your house.You can buy foggers at Walmart,they come in like a 6 pack..You have to leave your house for a few hours and open your windows to air it out when you come back to turn the air conditioner on,..But once it airs out your house won't have fleas.You can buy foggers at Lowes or the grocery store..Bathe them in dawn dish soap.Try to rub cold pressed coconut oil all over them after the bath. Put water your yard and spread insect granules.Also found at Lowes.Im sorry 😐 I know how you feel.
Dude, are you stupid? Two years of fleas and you didn't once take them to the vet to get professionally treated, while you completely rid your house of an infestation?!?!??! Do you know how easily one of your pets could have some kind of desies now since you let them have them for htat long??? Imagine how it would feel being stuck in a box a little bit bigger than you are with 1000's of mosquitoes and no way to get away. Don't make that absolutely idiotic mistake of letting it last for two years again. your animals can get a viral disiese as i said, and DIE.
I know this pain. I once lived at my Mom's house one summer & the fleas was so bad inside / out. Thing is we didn't have any pets. Her house was on blocks & the strays (cats) would pass under her house. I bought graduates bug killer but says for fleas too and kills under ground also. Once I spread that on the lawn & would buy a spray bottle that attaches to the hose that also bug killer for fleas. So double the flea killer for the lawn. Then I don't remember the name but lowes or home depot sells a flea killer spay that you can spray on carpet/floors with. It's white and comes in a gallon size. This spray kills all flea life cycles. I would spray that twice in all the rooms in the house and front & back porches. After a week go around your home wearing white socks only & if you see them damn little black spots on your sock respray that room. After doing all that we didn't have fleas inside our home the rest of that summer.
If helpful to anybody, after a lot of research & unsuccessful tries this is how I finally got rid of fleas for good in one weekend: . All disposable fabrics (cushions, rugs, dog bed) washed at 40 or 60, then steamed, dried on airers and bagged up and put aside. . Garden - all garden furniture put in the garage, brush up all leaves/dirt/ soak the whole garden with hose (drown them out) after spray garden with lavender oil /lemon juice diluted. . Vacuum the whole house, steam the whole house, wash bedding first thing in the morning. . Hoover and steam the car (as dog goes in the car) . Place dog in bath (deep bath) and comb entire body (wet neck first) . Put salt, baking soda and water in a spray bottle. Shake and spray on any carpets, stairs and fabrics (curtains) . Spray whole house and car with virbac indorex spray (follow instructions on can) . Put Advantage spot on treatment on dog once the current one (which didn’t work) runs out . Fleas have been gone for 6 weeks 😍
I had it but I don't know more I haven't had them in 2 years they all over my house in the doors on the floor and the cabinets how do I get rid of them
@@gamerprince-tl5hg hello. Fleas had stopped biting me already . Try putting a bowl of water with dishwashing liquid under a lamp every night. And also use insect repellent lotion before going to sleep.
I got ate up by fleas (81 bites to be accurate) and this is what i did. I got a new cheap toothbrush and dipped it in hydrogen peroxide then I gently scrubbed the bite. IIT FEELS AMAZING!! After i scrub the bites and they foam up i let the peroxide dry and then i put calamine lotion over it. It dried them out and reduces the bumps. Its been three days and most of the bites are smooth with a tiny little scab. I also took 2 benadryl every 4 hours.
I have no idea what to do at this point. I’ve vacuumed the house multiple times, sprayed all the carpets and hardwood floors with the product in the video including the furniture. I’ve washed every piece of bedding and pillow cases and all that multiple times with the hottest water I can and I’ve given my dog multiple baths with flea shampoo and dawn dish soap. The soap does great, especially the dawn dish soap but after awhile she’s infested with fleas again like I haven’t even done anything. I’m thinking about getting professional help at this point if we can’t get it figured out soon. The fleas have gotten so bad they’ve traveled from my house to a friends house and infested her pets. This is out of control.
Thank you for your comment. 1 Flea can lay 10 eggs a day and each egg contains 60 to 100 fleas. You need to catch up with the life cycle. We recommend using novacide and to vacuum every day twice a day if you can. Please give us a call we would love to give you some guidance on how to get this under control quick.
Solutions Pest & Lawn Thanks for the reply. I’ll definitely be sure to keep up with vacuuming and spraying along with treating my dog. What do you recommend I use for my dog?
I have no idea how we got fleas. Our dog and cats are home bodies. We have no grass. I go to work and home and my son is a remote student. WTF! I have solid wood and tile floors. No area rugs. Only bedding and a couch.
You might be the only one who is allergic to the fleas saliva. So far that is the only explanation I have could find. Most of my family members have the same blood type and they haven't gotten but like I have.
A tape lint roller is your friend! Also I’m giving capstar to all my cats when I see fleas on them. Still have them somewhere in the house. Looking for white socks now...
Just a general fyi for pet owners.......... Fleas are not just annoying to your pet but it causes anemia in your pet. The fleas literally suck the blood out of your pet. If the fleas are not treated or the infestation gets so bad, it can & will literally kill your cat or dog. With anemia, the hemocrit drops which carries the oxygen in the blood. If the blood levels of hemocrit get too low, the animal will need a blood transfusion or even 2 or 3 transfusions depending on how low the hemocrit level is. I am embarrassed to say this is what happened to my cat. Blood transfusions are very expensive (like $1k with no guarantee it will work). I had sick parents, worked full time, & I wasn't home a lot. I used flea drops but the fleas never really went away. Drops are NOT enough. The environment needs continual cleaning snd spraying/exterminsting/vacuuming/etc. My cat got very lethargic, was panting, his gums turned white, the inner corner of his eyes turned white, couldn't eat/drink....I brought him to the vet snd the vet said he would need blood transfusions and he was in very bad shape & he should be euthanized, which was done. I am embarrassed to say this was all PREVENTABLE. I am sharing my story so that hopefully it will open some pet owners eyes. I have had cats my entire life and something like this never happened before. I am embarressed and feel terribly guilty about this situation. My cat had to be put to sleep because I neglected to handle the flea situation properly. Just because the cat is alive, scratches and is eating & drinking, doesn't mean it is healthy. Cats are very good at hiding that they are not feeling well. My cat's health was going downhill even though he appeared "normal". Please don't let this happen to your pets. 😓
Guys, there are these flea collars on Amazon that worked wonders in the past for us, we didn't have them for years until the people that moved in refused to get them in the middle of is not having any money. I think it is seresto flea collars but I gotta check. There are some more coming in Monday, and they lost for eight months. Basically what you gotta do is have your pet wait all around the house on the first day of wearing it and boom, the majority of them are gone. It is amazing. I hate fleas they make me want to cry and are the reason I wasn't going into the basement for the longest time.
Ok so yes they are seresto and you can get like$20 off if you do the subscription which works out because they only last 8 months, but then they are only$30 and you have to do less. We tried bombing the house with big spray, and everything we could think of and the files just spread faster, this is the only thing we found to work for relatively cheap. Depending on how many animals you have is wether it is cheap or not, the collar is $60 (I know my math doesn't add up but add whatever number to the single digits and it works)
Permethrin works great as a flea dip for certain pets and livestock! Just diluted as the label describes. You can also use it on human skin for lice and scabies.
Try MCT OIL It's NOT Toxic and you can Slather it on your pet (my cat) And it is healthy for them to lick, good for their stomach and fur! If you want the cheaper version go with Coconut oil....
I have a small space and my cat went out ONCE since he’s an indoor cat, and he bought fleas with him. It’s so hell and time consuming getting rid of them along with school and a job. I can’t do this.
girl same. i’m battling a flea problem rn to and i’m on the verge of a Mental BREAKDOWN. I saw one today and literally hyperventilated because i don’t know what to do. it’s driving me absolutely insane. you’re not alone i swear
What if I have to flea infestation in my apartment from a previous resident, but have no pets? I had professional exterminators over twice already, 2 weeks apart, and I still am finding fleas. How long will this take?

Solutions Pest & Lawn YES!! I used to get loads of bites every day, now I only get 1 or 2
Vacuumed your house
What you need to do is put some soap between your fingers and then kill them.
Fighting fleas is a battle of attrition, I've been constantly vaccuming, mopping, and reapplying poison, got flea treatments for all my pets, used sevin dust around the perimeter and porch as well as light and bowl traps all over the house, and I'm applying a growth inhibitor tonight lol. it's been about two weeks of constant effort but I can finally wear shorts in my house and only have to worry about getting one or two. Best of luck to anyone else fighting these assholes, and remember that it's an ongoing process
How many pets you got?
@@kratosjunior817 4 cats but they're mostly outside unless it gets super cold
Fleas and mosquitos are two species I would be happy to see go extinct. Oh, add ticks to that list! Good luck mate, I am in week 2 of my battle with the micro vampires!
@@spurtikus1 something else I found that works pretty good as.well is Taurus SC, it's similar to permethrin in that you can use it inside and out
Fleas are annoying. They are biting me. I have applied and I don't see them like I have before. I have used that spray he is talking about. My cats cuddle near me. Good luck getting rid of them- they are annoying. Love my cats. Also if your cat eats the nasty fleas they can get worms. Those are the worst.
I've fought this battle for about 4 years. what worked for me and I tried everything all the home remedies. bombs. pesticides. It's hard work but a steam cleaner and a vacuum are my best friends also dehumidifiers and air conditioning kept my humidity levels below 50% flea free finally hope this helps someone I was so irritated with these little demons. best of luck all

Diana Prince same !!
Sorry to hear I remember when one of my newest cat was a kitten (3yrs old now) he to had brought fleas and those pesky bugs kept bitting me and my family members alot in out legs. now a days it's rare for them to bite us. What we did was vacuum consistently and killed any flea that was on us I suggest (catching and flushing down in the tolite so they won't come back compared to sinks) also we used fastcaps those mini pills used to kill fleas within 30 minutes but there's only 6 of those pills. It does take time until the flea infestation will go away about within a year and a half I believe or more. During night they are a real problem especially if they are In your bed mattress I'd suggest using bug repellent on your legs to guarantee a night without any irritating bites. Just keep fighting the fleas and eventually they'll decrease drastically on your floors.
Same here! I thought I'd be the only one experiencing this during covid and for the first time nonetheless! It's making staying indoors even more intolerable especially since I've been bitten. We have tried almost everything from flea shampoo baths, grooming and fur cut, cleaning blankets and surfaces she frequently sits on. Now we need to clean the carpets the couch covers, blankets, and everything to make sure they are gone for good. This is going to be a major spring cleaning. By all the lights I left bowls of dawn dish soap with warm water so catch them. I also am going to make flea traps with cones going into cups filled with sweet juice or sugary drinks to trap them inside.
Me too:(
This dude is a straight up cold flea killer. A true warrior.
Thank you for your kind words.
Solutions Pest & Lawn you have the best responses😂
This is the best comment
You can also take a really shallow bowl or lid or plate of some sort. Put some dawn or liquid dish soap in the water enough til it fells slimy like but don’t maybe it foamy. Put a night light or a lamp next to that of the night in all your rooms that are infected. They will try to get to the light and get stuck in the soapy water. It really works. Do that along with all the other methods of getting rid of fleas. It helps a lot.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Do u just drain the water after?
Absolutely works, got cheap led desk lamps frw yrs ago, kept them and can determine fleas population goes away. Keep water & dawn mix repeat set up after dump in wc & start agsin, BEST IS AT NIGHT light draws them in captured & they drown in it!
This is how my parents eliminated fleas in the 90s. We didnt live in the house yet though but, the fleas were so bad youd have 30 on your legs in seconds.
According to this theory, sounds the The fly zapper would work too. I’m an unfortunate new flea owner of two dogs 😩
Honestly ready to end it all I’m tired of this & I feel absolutely ugly from all the scars. None of my family is taking this seriously and I’m the only one getting bitten
Screw these fuckers man! I also am tired of this shit. Even worse when you don't have a room and have to sleep on the floor. Screw all of this!!!!
SAMEEE. five months later did it ever get better do u have tips?? my mom DOESNT care and theyre all over my carpet. im 16 and im the only one that seems to actually want to work hard and kill them all. im so annoyed
@@kai-mo8tt Yeah it got better since I've put one flea trap.( the dishwater trick). After that, we got those flea collars and surprisingly it worked. We also occasionally comb the cat with the flea comb. In short, keep making those traps and isolate dem cats if you must. Just make sure to check the cat for any new fleas.
Either ways, one of my cats just gave birth to 5 kittens so umm i don't wanna to go through hell again 😭
Did you get them out yet?
@@thebatspy1140 does the trap really work? How did you put it? Does it need to stay up all night? What did you put în The trap
Why do flea's even exist
To torture the world. They serve zero purpose in the environment. I can’t think of a single thing they are useful for
@@Mtkrvi06 ikr
Same as ticks
Why don't we just kill them all?
Jennifer Turnage what kind of stupid question is that?
I meant rinse warm. Anyway , cats are difficult if you cannot bathe them. I go everyday with fleacomb and a dish with soapy water, where the comb gets dipped and fleas into water, then dry comb and do it all over again . It helps big time ! Then take a lintroller and roll all the indoor catplaces and vacuum frequently.
God bless you and your family and pets. Amen
…I’ve found tape rollers greats against many pests ….I keep a supply .
I felt itchy while whatching this
We also feel itchy. We were told about a secret location in Nevada where they have never seen fleas. WE have decided to pass on the secret.

Knowing that I have them makes me want to cry
Hi guys here are my tips and experience with dealing fleas.
We had a 15 year old doggie that was put to sleep 1 week ago. She was being eaten alive because she couldn’t fight back the fleas. Hence the infestation of fleas. Here is what seemed to work so far:
1. Vacuum EVERY DAY. (And I vacuum the floor as well)
2. Enforcer Flea Carpet Killer (found in target, walmart etc about 5 bucks) i used 3 because we have a lot of carpet. But sprinkle it around the carpet and leave it for a day) i made sure to close the room and kept away for the first hour because it had a strong (good) smell. Lol i know but yeah ANYWAYS this def KILLED ADULT FLEAS. When i vacuumed I saw them which seemed like they were having a seizure. YES KILL EM ALL! But it did take about 1-2 days for them to be having seizures.
3. Borax + Salt. This dehydrates the eggs and lave which is the root of the problem. Doesn’t necessarily kill adult fleas but their eggs. But sprinkle on top of carpet and leave for 24 hours then vacuum.
4. Shallow bowl + water + few drops of DISH SOAP. I lay several around the house and after a day I have found some dead in the bowls. This DROWNS the fleas its so satisfying. Sometimes when I catch one with my fingers I decide their death, drowning or being crushed by my finger nails I always choose Drowning. You just see them drown and fight for their lives.
5. Wash bed sheets, pillow cases etc. Once a week. Just in case.
Currently we have no other pets, so yes fleas will eventually die (within a month with NO host ) but doing these things I’ve seen an improvement.
And for those being bit on the legs and ankles I RECOMMEND using high socks and putting them ABOVE your jeans, leggings etc so they can’t bite you. I used to cry because I would get bit all the time and it was painful but now that my socks are on top and pants/leggings tucked underneath my socks I am Itch-free and have not gotten bit.
HOPE THIS HELPS!
And yes quarantine did not make this any easier!!
Ps: my vacuum doesnt use bags its just a canister so after I vacuumed I released the trash from the vaccuum into the trash barrel and spray RAID on top to kill fleas.
You know what you are talking about!
what i have no carpet ? Im going crazy iver here . my adad had a cat and dog but he’s in the hospital but the house is infested with fleass
@@devannabaker515 There are a lot of good suggestions here. Treat the pets first or bring them to the vet for a flea bath.Let them stay there overnight do you can spray & clean the house in the meantime.
@@devannabaker515 If you can sweep or vacuum your floors every day! and set out the bowls with water and soap all around the house. Trust me this will help!
@@devannabaker515 sprinkle food grade diatameous earth all over floors and leave it there til fleas are dead. Kills everything eggs etc. Bath pet often with dish soap and vinegar. When u notice no more fleas on pet or around just vacuum up the powder. Makes bit of a mess walking thru powder but works and chemical free
Thanks man! My cat had fleas when we bought her, and now I find them frequently! Now I know how to control those nasty pests
I'm glad we could help you keep your cat flea free. We look forward to doing business with you.
Also if you wear lavender oil they won't jump on you. It doesnt last forever buy I put it on before bed and they stop jumping on me. Not a forever treatment but it helps you deal.
Thank you for your feedback.

Hi! Go online and READ about how to get rid of them. Also treat everything at least 3 times (every 2 weeks) in order to break the flea life cycle. Don't give up! You can do this 😊
Gloria Lucia Zapata-Elias. Hello, just an update but they’ve been killed off!! We haven’t had issues for weeks now. So much happier!!
Jessie What did you do to get rid of them? I’m having a flea problem too and it’s killing me!
Maria Bello hi, it actually helped that we moved from carpets to wood floors. Plus with the move, we were constantly rearranging furniture which meant a lot more vacuuming and getting rid of a lot of stuff. We would constantly clean and then as soon as we were done with vacuuming, we would empty and clean the tank and filter. Vacuuming I hear can trigger the eggs to hatch because of heat which is why the emptying was so important. So they couldn’t come out. We did this pretty much everyday. This took some time too so be prepared for that and to do it for a few weeks. I also did a lot of laundry and got rid of anything else that we didn’t need.
One of our dogs has long hair and is prone to fleas so he got his summer cut and is now medicated and checked pretty regularly. I would give the food grade DE a shot even though I didn’t get the chance to but also be consistent with vacuuming if you’re able. That’s kind of what helped I feel, just being almost obsessive with cleaning so that the eggs can’t get a chance to come back too. Make sure to get the cracks and crevices because they will try to come back. If you have pets, make sure to give them what they need so that the fleas also don’t have a host to feed off of.
I understand the frustration so I really hope you’re able to find a system that works for you that can get rid of them before they get too out of hand where you might have to call for a specialist. Good luck!
Thank you everyone for your comments. Its been like a mini group therapy session! I have two Huskies that I have to walk twice a day and I know they pick them up on their walks and bring them home. I'm fortunate I don't get bit for some reason but I've been at this for 3 months already😵I've yet to find the happy balance between a life and flea death but..."If you're going through hell, keep going!" Update- it’s been a month and we are on the other side of hell😅It’s been raining a bit and they still get a few here and there but it seems the worst is over.
I'm happy for you, I can't say the same for myself though. My cat recently caught fleas from another cat and brought it home. I've been completely stressed ever since. Feels like I can't live a normal life anymore without being itchy and catching fleas on my cat and ankles all the time. Please, do you have any advice on how I can get rid of them for good?
What do you do for your husky?
Get some Capstar pills, works for 24 hours, and kills adult fleas you're dog picks up from outside. Safe to use every day if needed. I had a recent infestation and this was what finally worked for me.
You might get bit but you don't have an allergic reaction to it
@@bilaalmufid5983 Did you just watch the video? He just told you what has to be done. 😅
I'm gonna definitely try this! I've been fighting fleas every year buying every product imaginable. For a while Frontline used to work great. Never had a flea problem. But either the fleas mutated or they started watering down their product because now it doesn't help at all. Feel so bad for my boys scratching 24/7. I'm praying these products end up working...
If you're still struggling with them try indorex spray i promise you it works the first time you use it
I buy K9 Advantix II. We had a flea bag outdoor/barn cat who gave our yard fleas but Advantix kills the fleas on our one dog. The other dog doesn't ever have dead or live fleas on him and I comb them both outside before they come back in our house, so the topical solution must work really well. You have to get the yard under control too. We have TruGreen coming Monday. I just hope our home is not infested!
@@melissam33 is the medication on that you have to put on their backs or is it an edible kind? I usually use pet armor and it seems to kill most but I doesnt work as well as it used to. Looking for another alternative!
@@timhughes4634 it is the one you put on their backs. I start with the back of the neck and go all the way to the tail. It's the red, white and gray box. I have to buy for XL size but it has recently been on clearance at my local Walmart for $24.98 for two doses. Fleas are dead by contact, they do not even have to bite. I have read on multiple articles that fleas have become immune to Frontline. I've never used that brand and don't plan on it now. K9 Advantix II is definitely working!
Also, you can reapply weekly if the problem is really bad. Once you get it under control you can move to monthly. I just have a hard time putting that much chemical on my dogs, but if it came down to that or my home infested, I would do it.
I’ve resorted to wearing long white socks and walking around my house, allowing them to jump all over my legs. Then I sit down and pick them off one by one and place them into a bowl of soapy water. On day 3 of doing this, the number of fleas I get per day is shrinking.
This should work
Honestly its a good way to break the cycle. Fleas can only reproduce after drinking blood. Another method that works is vacuuming twice a day. The vibrations from the vacuum makes the flea eggs hatch, then you suck up the adults before they can feed. It's worked wonders in the past for me.
@@sibelerim7997 yeah I'm sure the next generation of fleas would agree
Repetition is the key
E
What Im about to say works, but make sure your pet isnt inside for atleast 20-30 mins while this process goes.
Youll need:
Spray Bottle
Water
Dawn Dish soap (the one with the duck)
Pine Glo/Pine Sol
I know that last ingredient sounds bad, but it kills upon contact. Also this mixture leaves your treated room smelling amazing.
To make it:
Fill 1/4th of the bottle with Dawn Dish Soap
Fill 1/4th of the bottle with Pine Sol/Glo
At this point, the bottle should be halfway full
Fill the rest of the bottle with Water, and mix evenly.
Use this before you vacuum as a pretreat method, and the ingredients are very cheap, and easy to come by :)
I am trying this method I never been but by a flea but I’m at the point where I now have a superior hate for fleas I would rather get bit by mosquitoes sadly at this point cause at least you can hear them and see they better 😢
@@Dayvakiin Its a process, and catch them while they are in smaller quantities so that you dont have a big case like I do. Im still undergoing my process, but try to be patient, and do the same steps every day. If you have a steamer that reaches 200 Degress Fahrenheit, use that on wherever the infected room is, as that kills them on contact. Make sure to assess every single inch of the room. I do spray > Steam > Spray more > Round 2 of Steaming, and then i flea bomb the room.
Vinegar and dawn in a very warm bath. Soap them up and let it sit on their coats. I use mint flea spray in between. Spray the beds.
Me: sees flea
Also me: places down TNT block
As effective as that may sound, I think we can offer you some less destructive alternatives.

Pine sol kills fleas. It must be pine sol and not just pine scented cleaner. Put in spray bottle. Can be used in pets but dilute with water
You need a better exterminator
I have depression and my neighbor's cats have brought fleas into my home through the garden. I am too exhausted most of the time to clean and that's one of the best ways to get rid of them. It makes me feel so disgusting and I just needed to vent lmao

Don't forget garlic......Dr. Becker quoted the original study about not giving digs garlic....
BS.....because you would have to feed your dog an entire BULB OF GARLIC, no dog or human is going to eat an entir bulb. Just
Give 1 to 2 cloves of garlic .....we used to feed my dogs garlic cooked in their food a few times a week and they never had fleas and never got hemolytic anemia or any other medical problems. Going to start giving my 2 dogs garlic. FYI....THEY SAY THIS IS THE WORST YEAR FOR FLEAS BECAUSE OF ALL THE RAIN AND WARM WEATHER.
Good Luck Everyone....

I just wanna cry 😭 I have treated my dogs and done the house and did the cats for a couple weeks now and I keep seeing them did a flea bath yesterday woke up to a bunch on them again I have a whole acre this is overwhelming
did anything end up working?
Absolutely the best tutorial video I've seen and no pressure to buy products! Thanks Keith👊
Tbh he didnt touch on the root core of the problem, simple fact is that if you have an animal you will always get fleas its about regulating, and yes you can regulate to the point of almost extinction, growing up my house was so bad the kitchen sounded like it was raining from all the fleas jumping on the linoleum, you could literally hear them all hitting the floors in the dead of night literally sounded like rain, got so bad that the animals were in danger and had to be taken to the vet, he perscribed a medication called Bravecto or maybe Brevacto or Brivicto (idk the guy was indian and as such had an accent so ya know) its apparently a medication grade chemical that is ingested orally that is totally safe for animals (unless they have an allergy) whih makes them release this oil along side the skin oils in their sweat which kill the fleas when they ingest it when biting, its the absolute *BEST* flea medication ive ever experienced even after owning several dogs and cats at a time for my entire life, it complete frees the animal from basically all fleas, its a pill that they only have to take quarterly or every 3 months if i remeber correctly, the only downside is its mildly expensive and it requires a prescription from a vet meaning it requires a vet visit making it more expensive but i promise its worth it, wash the animals every week, spread diatomaceous earth on ur carpet and vacuum every single day, then schedule a hotel visit for 2-3 days, administer the medicine to ur animal, then wash ur animal again once at home, then again at the hotel, ur pup and or kitty should now be relatively flea free, while ur in the hotel fumigate the house with a name brand insecticide like raid or something and let it chill for the entire time ur at the hotel, and then... wait for it.... ...do it all again in a month (aside from the medicine which should only be taken as perscribed) and after 3 or 4 times of doing this youll be as close to flea free as you can get, after that just make sure to keep ur carpets dry and cool and vacuum often and you should be good, hope this helps someone out there 👍
The other day I stepped outside to feed my dogs,came back,and in two minutes found 11 OF THEM ALL OVER MY BODY BITING ME. This has been going on for years and I think it's time to burn the house down
I made my own spray that gets rid of these annoying fleas! Trust me you’ll forever thank me! Slice lemon , boil 30 mins leave on side for 8 hours. Peel the lemons in bowl remove the peels then smash the rinds in and fill bottle with vinegar like half cup then pour the lemon inside! Spray the floors ,cracks, couches , make sure you vaccum and put ur bed sheets and blankets in dryer while ur doing this. On high heat after that throw the vaccum bag in trash and mop the floor with with lemon spray. And spray the bed with it , the table, the pillows it’s ok it’s natural . The smell stinks for “10 mins. Do this everyday you will see them gone in 2-3 days but don’t stop as eggs can appear. They need to be sucked up with vaccum! This was only solution for me that worked since I deal with it 4 years straight! Good luck!
@@Blkbeat thanks girly I'll try this!
skz hows the flea situation? Did it work?
@@Blkbeat didn't have vinegar and now I'm not home. When I get back I'll try it!
@@Blkbeat update my mom doesn't wanna do it since we have to do it everyday?,maybe she changes her mind
Move to Nevada. I haven't seen one here in 35 years.
Thank you for sharing the secret location. We are all moving to Nevada now.
@@solutionspestandlawn my pets have never had a flea or tick. I like that.
Good thing Area 51 is keeping all pests away with they’re alien tech
@@cutestcat3633 That and the fleas are probably all out gambling in Vegas
Exactly. Lived in Reno and Vegas for 40 years. Never saw a flea or tick on any of my pets. Moved to Georgia, dogs got them instantly, and so did my legs. Maybe it’s the nice year round weather or the insane humidity here.
*fleas, are you kidding me?* Why did he open with that? LMAO
Most of this video was about identifying whether or not you have fleas.
I already know that that’s why I was looking for a video to get rid of them.
I’m going NUTS with these fleas, my cat has em and I believed my lawn is haunted with fleas at this very moment. & the worst part is, I’m the only one who are likely to get bitten no matter how hard I tried to repell and sprinkle crushed moth balls outside of my bedroom. But still, I can still see fleas jumping here and there! Also, I’ve hypersensitive skin. So whenever I have flea bites, it will took me approximately a week to stop swelling and end up having huge ugly marks on my legs 😭😭😭😔
Get.your cat on a monthly pill from vet. I was using frontline plus and it stopped being effective randomly. Been using sentinel plus
Anna G thanks for your advice! I just saw my cat is infested with fleas & I too, feel bad for them 😞

Action Anime Jackson omg thank you so much. I did the bowl ones and successfully dragged almost 20 fleas in it
Same, my legs are hideous now 🥺
sprinkle half and half mixture of baking soda @ salt sprinkle on floor and furniture works great
Thank you for this feedback.
Tried baking soda and salt. Didnt work.
@@grandmav sorry it worked for us
Great video, great manner, great information 😊Thanks a bunch. I feel suddenly itchy.
Love you guys I have tackled several DIY treatments now and couldn’t be happier.
Thank you so so so much. You've given hope..
I'm glad we could help
What was God's purpose in creating fleas in the first place?!
My dog recently got fleas 😢 I was gonna bomb my apartment with foggers but I’m gonna try this! the foggers would be too much of an inconvenience for me so I really hope this works
Foggers work fast, but don't have a long residual. We always recommend treating the house instead of fogging it. Let us know if you have any questions!
Guys use Bob Martin clear plus flea spray on your furniture, it really works!! And a tip, wear white long socks where you have the most fleas and watch them jump on, kill them with washing up liquid mixed with water in a cup. They suffocate and die straight away. My problem used to be so bad, to the point where I have scars on my legs and especially my feet from the bites. But ever since i started using the flea spray they have decreased in numbers so much. Also flea drops that you can put on your cat work quite well. I find that the collars are absolutely SHIT
Nematodes (for outside) and food grade diatomaceous earth for inside are effective, non-chemical ways of addressing fleas.
What if my dog licks her paws ?
@@MalikiheBerry26 Don't most dogs? Pretty sure not a problem
Im asking if she steps in the diatomaceous earth and lick her paws,would that make her sick?
@@MalikiheBerry26 Not if it's food grade.
Thank you for the great video! I have tiles and have no carpets and I
have fleas plaguing my whole apartment, mattress and vinyl sofa
included. Should I just get a powerful steamer since I think it's hotter
and probably good for my mattress or should I invest in a normal vacuum
cleaner because I don't have rugs? Thank you.
What did you do
I love the way you started the video
Thank you. We put a lot of work to make sure that we make these videos easy on the eyes!
I had big time problem all over my house.....thank you for sharing 🙂

My dog got fleas when we left him at a pet hotel a few months ago, and its been literal HELL bc he sleeps on my bed.
I know how you fell my dog does too. Any luck getting rid of them?
This guy deserves the best review
They're undoubtedly evolving and it's pissing me off with how many animals I have. Four cats and two dogs and the vet wants my family to bring ALL of them in to get them checked. There's no way we're getting charged $300 just for stepping in the door with six animals. We're trying EVERYTHING, flea collars, diatomaceous earth, liquid medicine, flea baths, vacuuming, flea traps. I hate them so much and I feel so bad for our poor pets...
Gidget Claws are your fleas visible? Like can you see them on furniture or skin
Fleas are a nightmare pest. They can take between 30 to 60 days to completely rid of them. Each flea can lay 10 eggs a day and each egg can have 60 to 100 fleas inside. This can very easily get out of control. We have a step by step method to eliminate them from your home.
@@solutionspestandlawn fleas can lay up tp 50 eggs a day actually.
Try using the essential oils....they really hate them, like lemongrass, peppermint, rosemary, and cedar, and mix with some water in a spray bottle ...or, mix with some water and apple cedar vinegar and 10 drops of neem oil;
As for mattress, spray your mattress with isopropyl alcohol at least every week between wahing sheets and pillow cases.
These things will not hurt your animals. One of my dogs almost died a few years ago with
the conventional pesticides....THEY ARE
POISON !!!
@@solutionspestandlawn are you in central Florida, because I need you lol
All years I lived here and taking care of my feral cats outside never had fleas TILL NOW!
Use indorex i tried everything and nothing worked but indorex spray worked first time
This guy is the bob ross of lawn care
I'm guessing, I am not the only one in this boat when it comes to dealing with fleas.
Standing there, feeling TREMENDOUS guilt because our pet/pets have been scratching themselves raw because they are infested with fleas. Feeling angry and frustrated too the max because you just can't get rid of them no matter how many attempts and products you buy.
Well here's 1 treatment THAT DOES NOT WORK....
Standing there focused but mad to the point of rage, looking down at the floor looking for 1 of those fleas and screaming....
"I AM GOING TO KILL EVERYONE OF YOU MOTHER*******"
And I don't even cuss.
My, and my dogs day will come, don't you worry.
That's exactly what I do. Hate fleas!!!!!!!
Vinegar
My mom showed me that once you actually catch one, go somewhere that has light and on a light colored table or surface so it doesn't get away. Get something flat or use the top part of your nail and smash it. You'll know it's dead when you hear a pop.
@@mersadyhill3012 nah don’t do that, just burn these micro vampires or drown it in kerosene. If u bop them, they’ll multiply and make another army
me and my cat are both scratching as we watch this, thanks i hope we solve this
I have found it helpful to wear white socks and keep very tacky tape near all the places I go, If I see a flea on my while sock, I catch it in the tape and fold it over, if done right you can use the same small piece of tape to catch many of them... this of course is in addition to eradicating them, but I find I catch most of them this way that get on me.
Thank you for your feedback.
Another way to get rid of dog fleas? Dogs like to swim, so take your dog to a lake and let him paddle around in the water for a while; the fleas will drown. Repeat this everyday for a week or so.
What if you have mostly wood flooring?
My dog had puppies a few months ago. She is a house dog, but we wanted to train the pups to be outside. We built a big dog pin and tried to build it away from really grassy areas. Of course, they were running around outiside the pin most of the time. Our land was actually cleared a couple years ago, so it's mostly loose dirt. However, I do live in a well vegetated region of the country, so I can see how fleas could easily be a problem. I just moved Ellie (my dog) back in a couple weeks ago after all the pups were finally in their new homes, and I immediately treated her and got a visit to the vet. I was still worried, and I think she may have fleas and brought them into my home. She sleeps with me, stays on the furniture, and basically lives like a normal house dog. I'm just worried that I won't be able to get any services to clear my house of fleas because of the pandemic.
If you don't have access to a pest control company, we offer products to homeowners to treat their homes themselves. Visit us on our website for more information.
I just purchased some of you flea treatment i hope it works i had this problem 1 year ago and now again and worst part i don’t even have pets is so frustrating

Did it work?
Can this help for dogs under 6lbs chihuahua is whom I'm talking about and where can I find it
I get rid of them for a few days and the come right back. I got them in my house.
Fleas can take up to 30 days to control and eliminate.
Muhammad Mapp aapne kya kia fleas ko kam karne ke liye
Thanx pappa.
Cant we just use dawn dish soap & water tho?
Unfortunately, This will not eliminate your issue.
@@solutionspestandlawn True!
I threw a ton of salt outside today we’ll see how the fleas fair with dehydration
Salt KILLS GRASS
@@flyfishing1776 KILL THE GRASS
Salt sure works inside, on everything
It works fast also
Well spoken and to the point. TFS
You're welcome !
The fleas typically just go after my dog they seem to not care for me but I feel bad for my dog
Hopefully, you helped the dog with a flea bath and sprayed your house.
Be caustious the floor is extremely slippery after spraying on hard floors. Don't slip in the poison
You should allow the chemicals at least 4 hours to be in the area you sprayed .
KJCurtis6595 these chemicals are poison! Any natural alternatives?? Thanks
@@priusa8113 no
This made me lol
@@priusa8113 - Don't bother your wallet with these "natural" alternatives, I've spent over a hundred bucks on natural remedies and not one of them actually kills the infestation it just keeps them at bay which isnt too great. Atm we got salt and baking soda spread around the house because apparently, that dehydrates them, welp we'll see if this works soon enough.
Flea treatments usually require 2-4 treatments, as the eggs hatch and restart the process each week.
1) Identification
2) Inspection
3) Control
4) Prevention
Good luck for finals my fellas ;)
Forgot step 5)
If all else fails, nuke the house.
Maybe there's rat mites too,so more steps needed
I just paid 130$ for 4 doses of a Cheristin for cats at my local vets office. They said it was an RX topical treatment similar to the 6 pack of Revolution Plus I usually buy from them for the same price. They claimed to be out of the revolusion plus and had it on back order. When I got home I started checking Chewy and the others for this new med Cheristin they charged me a $130 for. They had always been close in price to the online sellers like Chewy on the revolution so I figured they were likely close for this new one. They didnt tell me the name before I drove up there. Just that it was equivalent and was applied every 3 months instead of monthly. That sounded great. They gave me 4 doses removed from the box for 129.99$. Chewy and Petmeds have 6 packs of the same RX Cheristin for 60 something bucks, 12 packs for 169.00$. Oh and it is applied monthly. Not tri monthly. Feeling like I just got ripped off by a vet I though I had a good relationship with. I should have asked more questions but I got a little worried when they were outta my usual stuff and just forgot to ask the right questions. I guess even with a "good" vet you really cant let your guard down for a second. They at least could have given me the whole box being that it actually costs less than half of what I just paid. I guess thats just living in the land of the free.... to rip people off as much as you please.
Well I used the spray and can they recommend and worked !!! Thanks
Will burning down my house work or will they come back?
Don't think burning the house down is the solution. Hopefully you found useful information in our videos. Visit us on our website if you have any questions.
By now I’m considering adopting the fleas too😓
It's true - I cannot get control after flea bombing, removing cats, vacuuming, continuously. I have bombed 4 times in the last two months and just lately put down salt and baking soda which was basically useless. There are not a lot jumping on me, but enough to show they're still here. Professional time.
Fleas are extremely difficult to get rid of. Using a bomb or fogger is not going to eliminate your infestation. 1 flea can lay 10 eggs a day! Each egg contains 60 to 100 fleas. This can allow a flea problem to get wildly out of control. We would love to assist you. Give us a call or visit our website.
I am going to be in a war with fleas all winter I'm afraid. But while the soap water and candle makes sense, I have been using a small light with a bendable neck and just enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of a quart sherbet container. I was amazed, and dismayed, on how many. I think they are attracted to the light more than the heat, and there is no way out of oil. Just a thought. Cedar is deadly to fleas btw. So learned more about fleas than I ever wanted to know. I know what I will be doing all winter😝.Might want to check Cedarcide or Wondercide or the like for essential oil based flea solutions that are natural and safe enough to use on humans, including kids. Work for ticks and mosquitoes too.
Hi,
Have they gone now with essential oils?
I used a tea candle sit in the plate an put a bowl of water an dawn dish soap an put in every room turn off the lights during late evening every day for a month an vacuum every day an my problem was solved an got flea medication from the vet. Before it got extremely bad.
I'm done with buying expensive products. I just shampoo my cats and pour baking soda on the floor in every room including the furniture. I repeat this process every few days plus wash everything. It works and baking soda is like 50 cents a box. No harmful chemicals or fumes.
Baking soda works very well. I use salt though. I also use beneficial nematodes which are microscopic worms that eat all 4 stages of fleas, the adult, the lava, the pupa, and the cocoon. Nematodes feast on fleas and other insects but only work in the yard. A lot of people forget to treat the outside premises of their homes. Nematodes are harmless to pets and humans but are a flea's worst nightmare...i love them.
Has this made your home flea-free? Or is it just a temporary fix? No shade, I'm just looking for things that work to 100% eliminate the issue.
My 2 cats and 3 dogs are infested with fleas, they scratch until they're bleeding and sometimes even whimper because they cant satify the itch. I have tried SO MANY things for 2 years and nothing has worked, it has only gotten worse. I have almost lost hope. Please if anyone has had this bad of an experience, I would love to get some tips!!!
Nit comb if short haired. Have jug of diluted dish soap to put any fleas in. Push them into the solution
A 003 Fog your house.You can buy foggers at Walmart,they come in like a 6 pack..You have to leave your house for a few hours and open your windows to air it out when you come back to turn the air conditioner on,..But once it airs out your house won't have fleas.You can buy foggers at Lowes or the grocery store..Bathe them in dawn dish soap.Try to rub cold pressed coconut oil all over them after the bath.
Put water your yard and spread insect granules.Also found at Lowes.Im sorry 😐
I know how you feel.
Dude, are you stupid? Two years of fleas and you didn't once take them to the vet to get professionally treated, while you completely rid your house of an infestation?!?!??! Do you know how easily one of your pets could have some kind of desies now since you let them have them for htat long??? Imagine how it would feel being stuck in a box a little bit bigger than you are with 1000's of mosquitoes and no way to get away. Don't make that absolutely idiotic mistake of letting it last for two years again. your animals can get a viral disiese as i said, and DIE.
@@TennebrumReloaded What part of, "I have tried SO MANY things for 2 years and nothing has worked" did you not understand?
I know this pain. I once lived at my Mom's house one summer & the fleas was so bad inside / out. Thing is we didn't have any pets. Her house was on blocks & the strays (cats) would pass under her house. I bought graduates bug killer but says for fleas too and kills under ground also. Once I spread that on the lawn & would buy a spray bottle that attaches to the hose that also bug killer for fleas. So double the flea killer for the lawn. Then I don't remember the name but lowes or home depot sells a flea killer spay that you can spray on carpet/floors with. It's white and comes in a gallon size. This spray kills all flea life cycles. I would spray that twice in all the rooms in the house and front & back porches. After a week go around your home wearing white socks only & if you see them damn little black spots on your sock respray that room. After doing all that we didn't have fleas inside our home the rest of that summer.
If helpful to anybody, after a lot of research & unsuccessful tries this is how I finally got rid of fleas for good in one weekend:
. All disposable fabrics (cushions, rugs, dog bed) washed at 40 or 60, then steamed, dried on airers and bagged up and put aside.
. Garden - all garden furniture put in the garage, brush up all leaves/dirt/ soak the whole garden with hose (drown them out) after spray garden with lavender oil /lemon juice diluted.
. Vacuum the whole house, steam the whole house, wash bedding first thing in the morning.
. Hoover and steam the car (as dog goes in the car)
. Place dog in bath (deep bath) and comb entire body (wet neck first)
. Put salt, baking soda and water in a spray bottle. Shake and spray on any carpets, stairs and fabrics (curtains)
. Spray whole house and car with virbac indorex spray (follow instructions on can)
. Put Advantage spot on treatment on dog once the current one (which didn’t work) runs out
. Fleas have been gone for 6 weeks 😍
I had it but I don't know more I haven't had them in 2 years they all over my house in the doors on the floor and the cabinets how do I get rid of them
I’m in quarantine and can’t access anything and I have about twenty bites already I’m itchy and annoyed, how can I get this under control
Hi how r u so far? What did u do to get rid of them? Coz i have the same situation. Ive got bites everyday and night
@@abbigailisit442 Also currently dealing with it :/
@@gamerprince-tl5hg hello. Fleas had stopped biting me already . Try putting a bowl of water with dishwashing liquid under a lamp every night. And also use insect repellent lotion before going to sleep.
I got ate up by fleas (81 bites to be accurate) and this is what i did. I got a new cheap toothbrush and dipped it in hydrogen peroxide then I gently scrubbed the bite. IIT FEELS AMAZING!! After i scrub the bites and they foam up i let the peroxide dry and then i put calamine lotion over it. It dried them out and reduces the bumps. Its been three days and most of the bites are smooth with a tiny little scab. I also took 2 benadryl every 4 hours.
I have no idea what to do at this point. I’ve vacuumed the house multiple times, sprayed all the carpets and hardwood floors with the product in the video including the furniture. I’ve washed every piece of bedding and pillow cases and all that multiple times with the hottest water I can and I’ve given my dog multiple baths with flea shampoo and dawn dish soap. The soap does great, especially the dawn dish soap but after awhile she’s infested with fleas again like I haven’t even done anything. I’m thinking about getting professional help at this point if we can’t get it figured out soon. The fleas have gotten so bad they’ve traveled from my house to a friends house and infested her pets. This is out of control.
Thank you for your comment. 1 Flea can lay 10 eggs a day and each egg contains 60 to 100 fleas. You need to catch up with the life cycle. We recommend using novacide and to vacuum every day twice a day if you can. Please give us a call we would love to give you some guidance on how to get this under control quick.
Solutions Pest & Lawn Thanks for the reply. I’ll definitely be sure to keep up with vacuuming and spraying along with treating my dog. What do you recommend I use for my dog?
I have no idea how we got fleas. Our dog and cats are home bodies. We have no grass. I go to work and home and my son is a remote student. WTF!
I have solid wood and tile floors. No area rugs. Only bedding and a couch.

You might be the only one who is allergic to the fleas saliva. So far that is the only explanation I have could find. Most of my family members have the same blood type and they haven't gotten but like I have.
A tape lint roller is your friend! Also I’m giving capstar to all my cats when I see fleas on them. Still have them somewhere in the house. Looking for white socks now...
Just a general fyi for pet owners.......... Fleas are not just annoying to your pet but it causes anemia in your pet. The fleas literally suck the blood out of your pet. If the fleas are not treated or the infestation gets so bad, it can & will literally kill your cat or dog. With anemia, the hemocrit drops which carries the oxygen in the blood. If the blood levels of hemocrit get too low, the animal will need a blood transfusion or even 2 or 3 transfusions depending on how low the hemocrit level is. I am embarrassed to say this is what happened to my cat. Blood transfusions are very expensive (like $1k with no guarantee it will work). I had sick parents, worked full time, & I wasn't home a lot. I used flea drops but the fleas never really went away. Drops are NOT enough. The environment needs continual cleaning snd spraying/exterminsting/vacuuming/etc. My cat got very lethargic, was panting, his gums turned white, the inner corner of his eyes turned white, couldn't eat/drink....I brought him to the vet snd the vet said he would need blood transfusions and he was in very bad shape & he should be euthanized, which was done. I am embarrassed to say this was all PREVENTABLE. I am sharing my story so that hopefully it will open some pet owners eyes. I have had cats my entire life and something like this never happened before. I am embarressed and feel terribly guilty about this situation. My cat had to be put to sleep because I neglected to handle the flea situation properly. Just because the cat is alive, scratches and is eating & drinking, doesn't mean it is healthy. Cats are very good at hiding that they are not feeling well. My cat's health was going downhill even though he appeared "normal". Please don't let this happen to your pets. 😓
Thanks for your feedback.
Guys, there are these flea collars on Amazon that worked wonders in the past for us, we didn't have them for years until the people that moved in refused to get them in the middle of is not having any money. I think it is seresto flea collars but I gotta check. There are some more coming in Monday, and they lost for eight months. Basically what you gotta do is have your pet wait all around the house on the first day of wearing it and boom, the majority of them are gone. It is amazing. I hate fleas they make me want to cry and are the reason I wasn't going into the basement for the longest time.
Ok so yes they are seresto and you can get like$20 off if you do the subscription which works out because they only last 8 months, but then they are only$30 and you have to do less. We tried bombing the house with big spray, and everything we could think of and the files just spread faster, this is the only thing we found to work for relatively cheap. Depending on how many animals you have is wether it is cheap or not, the collar is $60 (I know my math doesn't add up but add whatever number to the single digits and it works)
I have indoor cats that have never been outside and have fleas, do I need still need to treat the lawn?
Bruh We dont even have pets yet we still caught fleas 😭

Permethrin works great as a flea dip for certain pets and livestock! Just diluted as the label describes. You can also use it on human skin for lice and scabies.
If anyone’s reading this, permethrin is actually severely toxic to cats.
@@MeowMeowBigBalls I fixed it
Try MCT OIL
It's NOT Toxic and you can Slather it on your pet (my cat)
And it is healthy for them to lick, good for their stomach and fur!
If you want the cheaper version go with Coconut oil....
