Nothing as sure as the trusty Red Ryder B B gun !!

 

hmmm...BB Gun? Steel, or Copper shot?

 

Depends on the color of the carpet---use the one that will be the easiest to find

Actually, we usually brush paint ours individually with pink florecent paint , that makes it easier to find em.

 

Translation: The fleas got rid of you.

 

Sprinkle boric acid in the carpet and let sit for a week and vacuum up.

Mexstan you are 100% right!! Those are some smart fleas........

 

Well I used the DE last night, it was windy, the wife said I looked like a Geisha by the time I was done spreading it around. Hopefully it works.

 

I had great luck with Purina flea powder on the dog. Once I kept them off the dog the house cleared up with vacuuming. Now I have a tick problem and they are way worse than the fleas to get rid of. Craig

 

Yea But Ticks ARE Big Enough You Can Save Your BB's And Use The Trusty Ol Slingshot

 

You can get some stuff called "Demon WP" from the feed stores around here that works great. I use it monthly around my faceboards inside and around the outside of the house and kennel. No fleas, ticks or stinging scorpions since then. I would get my hads on that stuff. It is in packets that mix in a pump up sprayer with Water.

I also use Frontline SPRAY when my dogs come home covered in ticks. They will be gone the next day and it seems to last about 25 days in the summer. Obviously longer in the winter when the ticks/fleas are not as bad.

Cypermethrin is a synthetic compound primarily used as an insecticide. It acts as a fast-acting neurotoxin in insects. It is easily degraded on soil and plants but can be effective for weeks when applied to indoor inert surfaces. Exposure to sunlight, water and oxygen will accelerate its decomposition. It is a synthetic pyrethroid.

Cypermethrin is highly toxic to fish, bees and aquatic insects, according to the National Pesticides Telecommunications Network (NPTN).

Cypermethrin is found in many household ant and cockroach killers, including Raid and ant chalk.

 

You need to spray inside the house as well, since they will go from inside back out, or just live on you and your dogs.
Get a room "Bomb" and spray it in each infested room. Leave for the day, perhaps to get the animals treated.
