You won't even have to leave the room, while using this technique.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Baby powder, rubbing alcohol, and peroxide
Step1
Fleas in the carpet will probably migrate close to your bed or where your
pets sleep. If they are not in your bed yet, be patient, they'll get there. When they get in your bed, have a large bottle of baby powder on hand. Sprinkle the baby powder all over your sheets. Don't be stingy with the powder. Many fleas drown when they hop into a little pile of baby powder.
Step2
If the fleas are getting on you, sprinkle baby powder on your body, arms,
legs, stomach, etc. The next day, if you see a flea on your bed, roll your sheet up not giving the fleas a chance to escape and put the sheet immediately in the washing machine. Wash some clothes with your sheet, why not? (If you don't have a washing machine place the rolled up sheet into a tub or bucket of water. This should drown any survivors.
Step3
Repeat steps one and two each day until their presence ceases. If you detect some fleas on the carpet, pour a puddle of alcohol in that area, (Of course not too close to an open flame).
Step4
For fleas that have migrated away from the bed or into another room, place a hard to turn over bowl of water and drop in a small bar of soap. If you see dead fleas in the water the next day repeat daily until no more dead fleas appear in the water.
Step5
Naturally, if you detect any fleas in the laundry room, wash all of the clothes in the wash room. (Don't leave them some other clothes to migrate to). If you have pets over 6 months old, get some good anti flea and tick medication, from a veterinarian, or a feed or pet store. The kind you put behind their neck. Fleas will leap from the carpet onto your pets and die when the medication gets them.

Tips & Warnings

  • You can also put baby powder on your pets to kill fleas. Peroxide also is effective. If you put a lot of either, on a pet, be ready to quickly rinse it off with warm water, especially if you are dealing with young puppies or kittens.
  • Don't use enough baby powder or peroxide to suffocate a human or pet. It's not likely, but consider the possibility.
  • Too much peroxide at one time may cause pain from the heat that results, if there is a lot of germs on an animal.
