Pest Control: how do I permanently rid my home of fleas!?

I have called the exterminator, used a spray from Lowe's, and set off diggers but nothing gets rid of all of them! What can I do else!

Do you have a slab house or a crawl space? I had a problem with fleas, I couldn't get rid of. ...»
Found out they where breeding under the house in some sand. So besides treating the house and yard I set off bombs under the house and NO more fleas. Good luck

Flooring: Should my bamboo floor run parallel to my wood ceiling or across it

I have a wood ceiling that runs east and west and it is pine ( clear Coated ) I am putting in a bamboo floor, don't know what would look best- to run it along with the ceiling or opposite. Opinions please.

Thanks for all the help, I was thinking the same way as the ceiling. The rooms are not small. ...»
and that would put it perpendicular to the floor joists. I have a two layer sub- floor for maximum strength. So I had not considered the floor joists. And it will be a good month( just ordered it) and I will post a pic. Thanks again

Gardening: Mystery beauty

What is this plant? My husband attended a banquet today and these were used for the decoration. Apparently the sponsors didn't want them back because he came home with 3 of them. I love the color and lushness. Is it Kalanchoe?

Kalanchoe
