Today my daughter is having her whole house treated by the exterminator. He's a friend who will tell us the truth about what to do. The cost? $75.00

Once they are in your carpets they need to be treated professionally. Bombs don't really work very well. The eggs stay viable for three weeks.

It's really best to treat your animals to prevent them. Even if you don't let your dog outside for more than a few minutes a day, they can pick them up from squirrels or other animals that pass through your yard.

I don't treat my dogs; and I've been very lucky. They have been dipped a couple of times after a stray came for a visit, but no infestations.

Good luck!
