If you own a pet you will have fleas in the house from time
to time. In some cases you may become infested with fleas.
We have had as many as four cats at our house and we have
been infested with fleas a few times. We only have two
cats now so it is not as bad, but we still have to use the
process I am about to tell you about.
You really don't have any control if your pet goes out of
your yard, but you will need to spray your own yard about
two times during the summer months with a good flea
insecticide. If you kill all the fleas in your house with
out killing the little pest in the yard you will continue
to have a problem inside.
One of the main reasons a house will become infested with
fleas is, after you vaccum your house and put the vaccum
away, every flea that was in the vaccum bag will crawl
right back out of the vaccum cleaner and into the house
and start multiplying.
The way to stop this is to take the bag out, spray some
flea insecticide in the bag and tape the hole of the bag
up. Then spray the insecticide around the house. If you
will repeat this process every two or three days for two
weeks you will not be infested with fleas any more.
You can resume your normal schedule of vaccuming after you
clear up the infestation, but you will still need to tape
the vaccum bag up just in case your pet brings a couple of
fleas in from outside. The author, Clint Pollard is the webmaster of
