Flea control!!
In Prunedale, CA the sand fleas are everywhere; being on the Monterey Bay, they never freeze. I have been using flea powder (just regular doggie flea powder) for years; those of us who do, are the ONLY ones in our neighborhood who are rid of them! Be sure to get a GOOD vacuum, and use it daily! You can also put down pest killer on your lawn, under the house & arond it.
What worked for me & my 2 dogs is sprinkling regular table salt in your carpets, let it set for a day or two, then vacuum well. The salt dehydrates them and they die. It's a natural way to kill and control the fleas. As far as the dogs go, I buy the non-heartworm flea pills and they work well.
Mix up pine sol rather strong kills fleas and house smells clean.
If you put a small dish of water near a night light, you will find many drowned fleas I the morning! We've been able to eliminate them that way. We also shampoo our dog with the same type of product that is used to control lice. We add that same chemical to dog shampoo that has an oatmeal base. Let it sit on him for 10 minutes and then rinse it off.
Maybe get rid of carpets and replace with Lino etc. or something that won't harbour the Fleas, besides having your animals treated every year for Flea prevention.
