bad bad flea problem! help!!

You can sprinkle salt all over the carpet. Leave it for an hour then vacuum it up. This dries their bodies out and they die because they need moisture in their bodies to survive. Another home remedy would be to use borax but only if no kids or pets are around because it isn't safe for them. Leave it overnight then vacuum it up. That also kills them and borax is located with laundry soaps in the stores.

First, to get rid of the fleas. If you're bombing them, you need to do the bombing every two weeks for about 6 to 8 weeks to get all the fleas and the eggs. Also, use Raid or the like in your vacuum cleaner bag or change it as soon and you have finished vacuuming. Fleas can withstand the force and suction of the vacuum cleaner and also you are sucking up the eggs which will hatch in the vacuum and re infest the house in not time flat. I have used Sevin dust on my carpets with great results. Sprinkle it on the carpets and sweep it into the nap. Let it stay there for a day or so and then vacuum and reapply the sevin dust again. Borax is another alternative, as it will dry out the fleas and the eggs. But until the fleas are under control make sure that you get rid of the vacuum cleaner bag or else you won't ever get the fleas under control. To soothe the itching, use Benadryl liquid (it's clear and in a 4 oz bottle). I had poison oak very badly and I tried the stuff and it was like magic in how fast it cured the itching. It also worked great on misquito bites. I recommended it to a fellow myLotter and she swears by it too for curing the horrible itches. Until the fleas are under control, wear light colored clothing, refrain from using anything with a fregrance such as perfumes etc. You might also try a spritz of Off on your legs (wait for any open sores to heal otherwise you will do the hot foot dance. I tried it once with open wounds and man that stuff burns on open wounds!) Hope I've helped a bit. I have been very lucky as I have both cats and dogs and they haven't infested the house with fleas.

You may have to throw away the carpets. I had that same problem once - bombed a few times.. and they would still come back.. he finally rolled up the carpets and got rid of them for good.

If it's that bad you need to just tear out the carpet and replace it and before you put the clean carpet in you need to spray for them and their eggs that might still be left over. If it's that bad you won't be able to get rid of them because thier eggs are probably everywhere by now. I hope this helps. :)good luck
