Comments on: How to Get Rid of Fleas

on 11/5/2009 Get a type of worm called nematodes, which feeds on fleas and can help you to get rid of fleas. You can sprinkle them around the garden and let them do the work!

on 10/19/2009 We live out in the country and have tried some flea control methods... I have fogged my house, sprayed the yard and as soon as we did all this, we bathed all 3 dogs with flea and tick shampoo. It seems like a never ending story because there's so much open land it is impossible to treat it all for fleas. Does anyone know of another remedy to take care of that problem, or do we all just have to suffer with the infestation.

on 10/5/2009 We had a house that had been w/o a dog for 2 mos & the next tenant was eaten alive.GET AN EXTERMINATOR!!!!!One
w/ a GUARANTEE. You can call around to Narrow down a good price, but get the guarantee.

on 9/22/2009 You want to get rid of fleas from you dogs or cats forever? Here's a remedy that works 100% of the time, and is very cheap. Get a gallon of fresh water and mix in 5 tablespoons of white organic vinager. Mix it well and from now on, make sure that your pets only drink that instead of regular water from now on (especially if they go outdoors). Within a few days the fleas will leave and never return.

on 9/22/2009 I have hard wood floors and a sun room that is carpeted. The dog has been gone for about 2 weeks now.I've bought over $100 bucks on products..I've bombed my house twice..sprayed upholstery..vacuumed rigorously rugs and couches..these things are still here. What am I doing wrong and can someone please help a desperate man. I have a 3 year old boy and I can't stand to see him scratch anymore.

on 9/21/2009 My vet soold me a $20 can of stuff to spray everywhere called Knockout ES. I hate to use it, but we treat the pet with the expensive frontline and have tried everything else and still have a flea infestation from the last tenant that was here.

on 9/18/2009 Frontline PLUS is the only thing that has worked for me, its just expensive when you have multiple pets. I'll try some of your tips and see if I can save some money.

on 9/13/2009 A good way to get rid of fleas (and eggs) is to use a good flea shampoo on your carpets. It's a lot less money and will continue to work for weeks.

on 8/30/2009 I bought Plug In Insect Repellents 3 years ago to stop ants, flies and wasps entering my house. Not only has it stopped these insects, my cat Tina has not had any fleas since, nor have I been bitten. The repellents also keep the fleas at bay. I no longer have to buy any sprays or frontline.

on 8/23/2009 As a veterinarian, I appreciate this article! We've spend a lot of time treating problems caused by fleas which could have been prevented if owners protected their pets better at home.
