Fleas in Carpet

I have four cats in a very small flat. I confirm that vacuum cleaner is perfect and safe to get rid of fleas. There is no need to put any product in the vacuum cleaner. The fleas are killed by the passage in the tube of the vacuum cleaner. I learned about this a few years ago in a newspaper it was discovered by scientists collecting insects samples with an aspirator in the rainforest of Brasil. and you can read about it here : www.sciencedaily.com/.../071217111010.htm

It is a safe way and it works perfectly when products sold to kill the fleas are very dangerous for your health and do not work on eggs. To check that there are no more fleas or kill the few that the vacuum cleaner did not reach, just pour one or two centimeters of white vinegar in a plain white plate or even better, a very shiny metal plate, put this plate on your carpet, do this at night or close all the curtains so that the room is in complete darkness apart from a lamp that you will put just above the plate. Fleas are attracted by bright or white surface they will jump towards the light and fall in the vinegar. White alcool vinegar kills a flea in less than one minute. In the morning you can check if you can see dead fleas on the surface of the white vinegar. Vacuum cleaning the carpet to get rid of fleas is needed only every 15 days because the fleas have three cycles of life : egg, larvae and then flea. Larvae avoid light and eggs resist chemicals but with the vacuum cleaner you can easily break this vicious circle.
