Fleas and Hardwood Floors

RE: Fleas and Hardwood Floors Post By lorie (Guest Post) (10/25/2007) Is there anything you can use to kill fleas on hardwood floors and still be safe for animals and humans? I found at a local super center a flea powder for carpets , but i used it on my hardwood floors. I put it on there and let it set overnight and swept it up the next morning. I'm not sure if that worked or if it is due to colder weather that i don't have fleas right now. Just wondering if there might be something different? RE: Fleas and Hardwood Floors Post By Lynda (Guest Post) (01/27/2007) Jerry Baker has all sorts of natural suggestions for everything from apples to zits, I think. I'd try him online before I'd bomb with the strong chemical during the winter when you can't really air things out well. Good luck and God bless you. : ) RE: Fleas and Hardwood Floors Post By CARLA BLEDSOE (Guest Post) (01/11/2007) PLUG IN A NIGHT LIGHT AND SET A PAN OF SOAPY WATER ON THE FLOOR BENEATH IT. THE HEAT ATTRACTS THE FLEAS AND THEY DROWN IN THE SOAPY WATER. SPRAY YOUR FURNITURE UNDERNEATH AND IN THE BACK WITH INSECTICIDE FOR FLEAS. PUT ANY THROW PILLOWS OR THROWS IN THE DRYER FOR A WHILE AND THAT WILL KILL THEM ON THERE.

It is his responsibility to get an exterminator or bomb. If you own the house, I would recommend bombing. You can buy the bombs just about anywhere. Remember to do all levels including the basement. Remove any houseplants and follow directions. Good luck, Diane RE: Fleas and Hardwood Floors Post By Cresanna (Guest Post) (01/10/2007) Have you tried setting off flea "bombs" in your home? If you do this twice a few weeks apart, it may solve your problem. Also, when my cat had fleas, I sprinkled regular table salt over my carpets to dry out the larva. It seemed to work well.
