After over a month of infestation tried everything I’ve seen on RU-vid one thing caught my eye when I came back from out of town everything had gotten out of hand again. I pulled out my little shark steamer... hands and knees steaming the carpet, tile and hardwoods...it’s amazing, I’ve seen one or two since! I’ve done the whole house pretty big house, then vacuumed twice once before, then steamed, then again like I said it’s amazing they’re gone!!!!!! 😃
I burned Lavender Incense for a few hours one day and I haven't had a problem since. I also sprayed a mixture of water and citrus. I sprayed literally everywhere along the baseboards and under the couch. I so sprinkled baking soda on the couch and beds.
You included more important and pertinent information into this short video than others with much lengthier ones...good for you. Salt works well - sticks to and tears fleas up; low bowls with soapy water catches and kills fleas; and, lemon juice spray, 1:3 mixture, repels fleas. I'm a veterinary technician who recently had the 'first' flea infestation this past spring in the twenty-five years on the job.
+LovelyIsMyChocolate Also...if you see the occasional spider or beetle (or, ladybug beetle) in your home, leave it be - they feed on fleas like crazy. :)
The most effective treatment I’ve discovered was this: first treat the outside of your home. Next, treat your pet, I had great success with comfortis. Then, vacuum and apply a product called precore 2000 plus. Vacuum again and spray hot spots in 3 days. Continue vacuuming at least twice a week and on day 14 vacuum again and reapply the spray as you did the first time. That did the trick for me in a mighty way. It’s a tough war, a long and involved process, but you CAN do it. I was able to do this in spite of a very serious knee injury that doesn’t allow me to bend at the knees. So I know you can do it too. Nothing is impossible, some things are just less possible than others.
But can you infect your yard if your have fleas inside? For example you get rid of fleas on the outside and on your pet but then you still have fleas inside, is it possible that you can keep infecting your yard and your pet?
How come vets can't come up with a vaccine that protects against flea and ticks year round instead of spending all this money on these flea and tick products that have to be taken or put on every month?
their is Pill you can buy at the vet ..it works ..around 20 to 30 bucks ..it will last 6 months on fleas and ticks..my dogs are out side and run free on the farm and they never have fleas are ticks ...best thing ive found that works ..the front line and the drops don't work ..waist of money ..I call it a garlic pill..50lb dog half a pill ..I think you can buy them 1 at a time ..I buy a book of these and its around a 100 bucks for 6 I think ..last for several years and your dog will thank you for it..only thing ive found that works ..even if they get around other infested dogs they will not get fleas are ticks..after you give this to your dog you may want to put it out side it don't kill fleas it gets nto their blood stream and its a repellant
i don't no what the pill has in it ...I only call it that ...it works ..gave it to my lab over 14 years and my other lab is over 15 years old .hasn't hurt them....Their not just going to eat it like the stuff they advertise on internet videos ..ive also herd bad things about a lot of products ..either bad side effects are don't work with bad side effects ...good luck..
lilchi721 if you are one of those that try to avoid everything with bad reviews then your gonna be shit out of luck..alot of pure breeds are bad about having heart worms and not showing symptoms at a early stage ..any thing you give them that goes into the blood stream will likely kill them.. dogs are like people ..some things help 1 and hurt the other ..
Diatomaceous Earth in the corners, on the carpet, rubbed into the mattress. 1/2 coconut oil and 1/2 cedarwood oil rubbed onto the pet once a week, vaccum daily (even wood or tile floors). It's 2021, and the fleas in Michigan are insidious. The fabric sprays do work under cushions and under the bed, closet floors, and edges of thresholds around doors. Just some ideas. Thanks for a great video, God bless. :)
Not your cat's fault! You should use a flea comb on the poor thing and dunk it in a clear container with some Ivory or Dawn dish soap...after each pass with the flea comb. Make sure to keep the comb under the water while removing all fleas, before combing again. Don't do this too close to the top of the soapy water and don't fill the container too close to the top...try to leave a couple of inches...so they don't jump right back out....on the suds when you 1st fill it! The soap kills the fleas. It also breaks the surface tension of the water so that they sink. Hope this helps. You might want to speak with a vet to obtain information about the best product to put on your animal. Just call and ask for info...explain your cat's situation. But 1st comb it with the flea comb, as I explained. When you do your laundry...everything should be washed with the hottest water and dried on the hottest setting, to kill all flea eggs!
I rescued a kitten about a month ago, she had come with fleas. I have tried multiple dawn dish soap baths, after reading they die in the dish soap. I have combed almost daily for about 3 weeks. Still combing fleas, doesn't feel like its making a differance. Of course that's with daily vaccumingof thewhole house inside and all around the couch, behind and under everything. Everywhere she hangs out triple cleaned.Even got a vingager based house cleaner. I try to stay on top of it and I am constantly trying to get her to sit still and let me comb her since she hates the comb. Now she associates me with with negative things like bath and combing. Its not always so simple and its extremly frusterating. I have ordered flea medication that was vet reccomned that comes in a pill. Of course Florida is having hurricane so shipments are delayed. Its a very complex frusterating issue.
I treated my cat with a seresto collar and treated the house by first vacuuming with a cheap flea collar in the canister then spraying anything carpet or any fabric like the cat tree and coach with a aerosol spray. after about 2 or 3 weeks when the stage that can't be killed turned into adults I vacuumed again the same way and areosal sprayed same way. never saw another!
@@thezoomroom1 I didn't and won't, I'm afraid of anything sold for pets to treat fleas everything have bad reviews, for now a comb and vacuuming is all i trust and i wish my cat would just allow me to shower her
@@hyxxx1564 don't worry I bathe my cats every month and it doesn't do anything. They've been indoor acts for 6 yrs & my damn roomates dog brought in fleas. I've moved, given my cats advantage & Frontline & here we are 2 months later and still fleas. Bathe the cats 2× a week with advantage cat shampoo & sprayed the carpets with advantage carpet powder and even sprinkled a ton of diatomaceous earth everywhere and STILL fleas. :( I'm depressed
@@thezoomroom1 The ones on Amazon are counterfeit and are made in China so those are the ones to beware of. I got mine from Walmart and it worked within a few hours!!
Another video suggested using a dehumidifier to reduce the amount of humidity in the air, which migh kill the fleas at home. Going to try that, got nothing to lose at this point
Hey I was wondering if you would make a video of how to get rid of fleas all around your house and even how to prevent them from clinging on to you when walking on an infested area.
@@meda04 so I would use a full can of it, I would spray my full flat including furniture, sofa cushions, mattress etc. Make sure to spray in every nook and cranny. They hide in corners and edges of rooms. I would do this every 6 weeks or so. It works instantly though. U’ll find after a couple of days all fleas will be dead. It also prevents eggs from opening. I would also Wash all my bed linens etc. Also make sure to empty and clean your Hoover/vacuum cleaner if you have one. Hope this helps. 😊
To anyone suffering from this pests -you need to wash (if you have) the pet with anti fleas shampoo -you need to give it anti fleas solution on the back side of the neck -you need to vaccum with a powerfull vaccum every furniture in textile material -you need to get all your carpets in the tub and add hot water and leave them there for a while then get them out and leave the carpets there for a day or two untill they dry up (the carpets mught lose some colour but don't worry) -you will need to vaccum everything under the carpets. -you will need to purchese anti fleas poweder and powder everything that is soft textile even your clothes fleas maneged to get in there -(wash again your pet and purchese an anti flea collar) -fill your house with universal spray..(if you want to get rid of them fast one method will not do..) (if you have a vapor heater cleaner you could use it but i don't know if it gives results. I got rid of them in 2 days (two mouths ago) .. and spend 50$ in total good luck Edit: also you should wash yoursealth after every step preferably in a bath tub were you can compleatly immerse yoursealth in hot water.
Ok no dog anymore. Can you please help me. I have watched everything shampooed my whole house use diamateous earth and they are back. Not as rampant but they are here! Help!
Who showers after every step?? Thats ridiculous :D you d be in the shower all day long nobody has the time and the money to do so. One shower before bed maybe but thats it
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.
It's that time of the year where I scour the internet trying to learn new ways to kill these little beasts for once and for all - hopefully this is the year. Thanks for plug for Knockout! Just ordered some from Amazon and I hope it works.
Hi you mentioned vacuum pallets to be thrown in the vacuum bag to prevent any eggs hatching.Well I use the Ovente bagless vacuum.I empty it outside jn a bag then I bring the filter and the vacuum container inside home,putting them in a pail with bleach and dawn soap.I wash them and rinse them with hot water.Then I put item in a bag keeping them inside.Then next day I dry them with the dryer and start the vacuum.Is this correct?Also if it is,where fo I put the vacuum pallets in the bagless vacuum,?Thank you for responding
My 1 year old cat just recently got fleas 2-3 weeks ago snd there are so many places the fleas and the larvae and eggs could be I’m not sure what to do other than comb her and bathe her and spray her with the natural oil flea spray
Hello, I don't have pets in my house inspite of I can see fleas in my sofa they bite in legs, when I try to catch them they fly off immediately, they don't die too, very difficult to catch them ,any suggestions kindly reply
I do not own a pet but my neighbor does I had to cat sit for her a few days and the cat has no flea collar the owner felt she was an indoor cat an did not need one but gets she tons of stuff from amazon all the time so I got a flea problem If you use Borax can you leave the Borax for carpet can you leave it on for 2 weeks that should cover the life cycle of the Fleas and if you have a spray that kills fleas if you use both will that get rid of the fleas and can you leave the borax on indefinitely under a bed or couch
Always best to consult a vet. Natural remedies can work wonders (especially for young kittens when you don't want to use chemicals): www.entirelypets.com/herbalflea.html D-earth is great for many things. There are many articles you can find on the web about how and when to use it.
Hello I have a puppy his 7 weeks old and went I got him I never notice he had fleas on him so shower him and that's when I notice .. so we went to his clinic the doctor put everything he need to put in the puppy like the think you spread In the dog video around his neck and my sister is just scared they will spread is okay if we use the product you show us as prevention

I bought some flea tablets in Pets at Home and the fleas were dropping dead after 15-20 minutes. Your local council will have a pest control department to help sort your home.
Is Vet's+Best Veterinarian Recommended Flea+Tick spray good for getting fleas away? 'Cause some medicine doesn't work, we have a 6+ month old kitten and she has fleas, I'm just wondering if it works, if you know, please respond.
Is it okay to give your cat 2 if they are over 20 pounds? We use this but it seems like one pill only last like 6 to 8 hours before we are itching again!
Does anyone know the long term effects of the furniture spray? Yes, its supposed to get rid of fleas. But I'm concerned about having all those chemicals all over our house. Advice on how to clean it up?
I am having a real flea problem in my house and am at my wits end on how to get rid of them. When I'm done vacuuming the floor I vacuum up a good bet of salt as that is supposed to be bad news for fleas too.
Are that kind of sprays safe to use with cats in the house? We have two 10 week old feral kittens that we just caught, both got a bad flea problem that's spreading throughout our house even though we keep them in a separate room. We wash all towels used with the kittens on 95 celcius, and we are going to get them treated for fleas. but in addition to that, we need to spray the house. We obvisouly have to bring the kittens to another room for the spray and wait a few hours, but will it be safe, let's say the next day, for the kittens to be back in the room?
I had to call exterminaters out 2 days ago but im still finding fleas actually up walls and doors,esp the white eggs.Are they dead or dying? Please help! Im a total wreck!
RNK sounds like they are allergic to fleas. Bring them to the vet to discuss different options. Oftentimes, a steroid injection is needed to decrease the inflammation while the flea medication begins to work.
Hello, I know that this might be a somewhat I don't know dumb question but how do I really know if I have fleas or ticks in my house? Our neighbor gave us a little puppy about a week ago and We had him in the house and my brother noticed that he was scratching and he checked him and found a flea so my husband took him a bath and found three fleas. I decided to wash everything in hot water and I vacuum every day. And now when my body itches I feel like it's a flea bite. I know it might just be in my head but that's why I wanted to know how do I know for sure if there in my home? Sorry if I am not making sense at all. But I wanted to know because I have little ones and if the smell of either of these sprays are not harmful?
I have found out when I comb the fleas off my cat and put them in a mixture of water and mouthwash it kills them instantly. I am trying to find out if I can safely spray my cats with this mixture? If anyone knows please let me know. I am desperate!
Hello, I have not had any replies as to whether I can safely spray my cats with a mixture of mouthwash and water. Please I need some sort of answer. The fleas are driving us nuts. help
I'm scared my rabbit will catch them... We had a huge infestation in the summer... Tried everything and I guess even a cold winter didn't kill them all as I found out... Edit: when I say tried everything, we washed my bedsheets 3 times, fogged my room and used flea bombs. Also used a heatlamp. Also a tip for killing them is to squirt handwash/handsoap on them.
My cat has been allergic to the flea medicine in the flea drops and the solution that you were supposed to put on him do you have any suggestions on what I should do if I don't get rid of them I don't get a puppy
Such a nightmare. :’( my apartment is small & crawling with them, I can’t walk across the floor without seeing one up my leg, soo much money & 2 months down the drain on generic crap that didn’t work. Decided the best thing was to get my cat out of the area so I bought capstar & used topical for him & took him to my sisters for the week, he’s looking tons better but still been such a ride here though I am having some progress as I assume the adults are dying off with just me to feed on I still feel them crawling all over in bed. Used adams home spray today, looks similar to the video, might get the nozzle spray as well as I’ve noticed the chemicals are different. I almost wonder if it’s even safe to take him back for fear I’ll be back to square one & he’ll be suffering again. :( pray for us, icing on the cake for another hard year.
Problem is getting better, for my cat I used Sentry Purrscription Plus shampoo from local pet supply store, supposed to be good for 30 days but I bathed her again about a week or so later, was a precaution I was trying to take in case the first wasn't sufficient, no regrets but didn't notice any new fleas, had been worried about what I couldn't see. About a week after second shampoo bought flea drops ( a brand that was an equivalent to Advantage, so good but less $) from pet supply store, I had used the cheaper drops before from a regular store before the flea issue so obviously hadn't worked. The green Hot Shot foggers worked ok (only kills adult fleas) but purple cans for 'bedbugs and fleas' worked much better (purple one kills flea larvae too, not just adult fleas, per label). I did repeat purple foggers again 6-7 days later but also used a spray (in a larger size container than at a regular store) from hardware store to spray under and in between any creases, cushions, or areas in my couch and chairs that the foggers might not have reached. Doing clothes and blankets in hot water seemed to kill fleas and then putting clothes and clean laundry in one of the few unaffected rooms. All of this has still been frustrating but these are some of the experiments that have seemed to help.
Both of my dogs have flea treatment and I am always cleaning my house and have no rugs but ceramic floors.. I woke up last morning with big bumps on my back and arm and one on my face about the size of a half of a pea.. Very itchy. Well I really don't see any fleas around the house or on the dogs...but I guess they must be somewhere. Its driving me nuts.
I have two outdoor dogs and indoor cat. All three pets are infested with flees and so is every room in the house. We have tried the following; Vacuuming the whole house , moping right after with vinegar and soap and then used a indoor spray. This has only made the flees come out more and now we all have flee bites everywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do next ?
Burn the house down? I use leçons,limes,oranges SPARYING... even thé kittens qnd kittycats... now when they see me with spray bottle they run. . So i grab one at time spray in room so others do not see
is it safe to put baking soda and salt on your dogs skin? what about apple cider vinegar? is it safe to wet. your dogs skin and coat with it too? thanks for any response or info.
I would not put the salt and soda on the dog, the salt will fall right off anyway, and soda will dry skin out. You can put apple cider vinegar with half water to dilute it and spray it onto your pet. It will help repel fleas but it is not a long term solution if you have fleas in your home too.
I have no pets but fleas everywhere!! Help! What should I do, they're biting me in my sleep. The bites are so itchy. Vacuumed and washed sheets but no results
+Mrs. Tacowaffles There are lots of resources you can find online. Washing alone will not kill the fleas. Natural or chemical solutions should be utilized. Getting rid of fleas is also a long and sometimes arduous process. You will want to create a plan (usually involving cleaning and spraying or using powders or bombs) and repeat every week for a couple of weeks. Hope this helps; you can find more details here: www.entirelypets.com/faqabfl.html as well as other places online.
Where can I buy the flea bomb thing from and how does it work ? I got flea and other pest infested ( don't know what they are but white in color, look like lint ! Very itchy ) gets me crazy ! Can't fall asleep every night ! Does the bomb thing work ?
You spray shoud wear a mask or sonething inhaling it isnt good you can keep the windows open if you use the normal spray and then you leave If you are using a fogger you need to keep the windows closed though and you need to leave the house for a few hours
Hi! I want to know what to use for my ferrets! I have already given them a bath but within a day I saw fleas on them again! We are going to fog our home, but I want to know if kitten flea medication could be the right solution for treating my little ferrets. One is 4 years old and the other is a year old. Please help!
One can always call vets to ask for information. If, they refuse after you begin to inquire about your ferrets and fleas and what could you use...they are not the vet that you would want anyway. Most vets will give you advice over the phone...or at least their receptionist should...She will ask you to hold while she finds out. This year has been really bad for fleas, etc., and, I found out that the vets don't want anyone coming in , with flea infested animals. They are willing to sell products though! Mine or the office is breaking up boxes of Advantage and selling a single taped to a print out, with partial instructions. She said the generic was cheaper but the name doesn't match Avantage's generic name. So, that is confusing! Plus, it is still not working as it says online. Stupid me! I thought the product only came in singles. I looked it up online, for more info and found the boxes of 6 which cost a bit more than my single one. I have 2 cats and 1 small dog. Plus, the premise spray, this was an expensive lesson!
the only pet i have is a gerbil. so do i treat him ? and i live in a house that has been renovated into apartments, so i'm renting one apartment. and i have a upstairs neighbor that has a cat. but recently when i was sitting on my couch watching tv and i felt something crawling on my arm and it was a flea!. i freaked out and started vacuuming . so i don't know what else to do?
Hi there! It's not a good idea to treat gerbils with flea medication, however... if you have fleas in your house, they might be coming from another source. vacuuming is certainly the first step to eliminating fleas in your home. After vacuuming the floor, pillows, couches, and washing bedding, keep an eye out for more fleas. Hopefully, this will eliminate them. If not, you might have to treat your home, but this should be the last resort, as the chemicals could be dangerous for your gerbil.
My cat has fleas but her fur is too thick for any medicine to cure that and it’s just getting worse.. I’m waking up with bites and just now found a flea on my arm but it jumped away before I could kill it! But the situation has only been getting worse.. any advise..? We’ve been putting stuff on the carpets and washing my bedding regularly still no change tho
