Fleas are nasty this time of year....

Flea bombs will get eggs, but it is ideal to vacuum before and after bombing the house. It will also get lounges etc, but I would personally remove bedding prior to bombing the house.

At the same time, I would use capstar, and then another product that is a monthly top spot for the pets or if you use frontline spray it could do as well.

Capstar will kill all the fleas on the animal for 24 hours, so it will stop an infestation in the midst within 3 hours, then you need a product that will last after that first 24 hours, and since it takes 24 hours for most top spots to start working, I would do that.

We had a flea outbreak here, and I put topspot on my dogs fortnightly. The fleas are in the dirt, so we are moving the chickens out the front yard to get the fleas and hopefully stop the cycle. Today I gave the dogs a bath and a rinse with permoxin (not safe with cats!) and will put a top spot on them tomorrow. Either permoxin or capstar will work wonders and capstar can be used on cats as well.

If you have carpets, you could google "borax" and "fleas" and find a remedy that you brush into your carpets at night and then vacuum up in the morning, but unfortunately this won't treat bedding or lounges etc which can often hold the eggs as well. Fleas will die if put through the wash cycle and the eggs will die in the dryer... so if you wash bedding that way, you should get rid of them there. If you have fleas in the garden then nothing will stop them entering the house if your animals are indoor/outdoor. You will have live adult fleas on an animal for a minimum of 3 hours no matter what treatment is on the animal.

For flea bites, you can treat the same as mozzie bites, calamine lotion works well as does a spot of vinegar. they aren't nice to see on your bubs.

ETA: smithy, gamma wash is supposed to not work anymore with fleas... but to treat dirt under the house sometimes you can do a borax solution, or a lime solution in dirt as long as its not raining it doesn't work if its raining! Which is what brings out the fleas is the warmth after the rain....

PSS: flea eggs can hibernate for up to 12 months, so if you get them now, and then they may start up again next year... so keep up the flea treatment if you can environmental fleas...
