Flea Season

[jenluckenbach]

Flea season is temporarily over after a hard freeze. But if the weather warms up again, they will be back.

The number one best way to rid your home from fleas is a profesional exterminator.

Your next best alternative are foggers. You would need to get enough to treat the entire house, but at the same time don't over do it. Read the square footage on the packaging and consider the layout of your home. The fog gets into all the crevices, etc, but it isn't going to go around the corner and down the stairs.

Have your pets treated AT THE SAME TIME as your home! (they will need to be out of the house anyway).

And be prepared to do it all again in 2 weeks. Fleas are VERY resistant. If only 1 pregnant female lives through treatment #1 it will escalate again.

Good luck.

Thanks to everyone who replied.

Oh, how I would love to have a professional exterminator come in but they cost a fortune!! I will probably have to buy the foggers (if I can find them... I've looked for them in several stores and couldn't find them)

I had also planned on bringing the cats to a groomer for a flea bath, but they want $50 per cat (I have 4 cats), so that's out of the question. I have flea shampoo, so I will have to bathe them myself.

My plan is this... to give the cats each a flea bath. Take them out of the house in their carriers and then do the fogger thing. Hopefully, that will work.

Wish me luck!!!!!
