This is insane. I bought $40 worth of RAID foggers a month ago and followed the instructions to the tee, and the SAME day there were fleas on my legs again, even after spraying another entire can of RAID all over the house...
Today I bought 9 extra strength foggers and bombed the entire house, once again following all instructions... and as I was picking up the empty containers, I saw a flea jump on my foot...
Is my house a haven for infallible fleas??? Are these special fleas that don't respond to poison??? They won't die! It seems as if the poison makes them all the more aggressive a few days after the spraying, too.. I just don't get it or know what to do now..
Granted, there are FEWER fleas now, but I'm afraid that those which survived will breed... so there's some sort of crazy natural selection going on in my house, where only the fittest will survive.. and the "fittest" are poison-proof fleas!!!! Help!

I had the same kind of problem trying to get rid of fleas. Then I got Frontline Plus from the vet and in a little over a month I had no more fleas in the house. The fleas jump on the pet and die. You will also find the yard wll become flea free in a few months.

Foggers don't work.
There are flea sprays that you use on carpets and upholstery. Those work. You just have to let the room air out a bit, and keep your critters away until the spray dries (within 1 hour).

Yes actually, they have become resisitant to the pesticide in raid.
If you have animals get Frontline from a vet, not eBay where they sell fakes.
They foggers don't kill the eggs also. So they keep hatching out.
Forget the foggers. Go to a good vet and ask what to get.

Put lavender oil inthe corners of every room in your house. you can buy it at a place like "Bath and body works". Fleas hate it and they will vacate the premises. It worked for me.

You and your poison are breeding super-fleas.

it may be that eggs are hatching after you've used the fogger.

You must also delouse all bedding, clothing, drapes, carpets, and other areas where the beggars hide. Also, you must again deluse your pets, kids, and other mammals.
