How do you get rid of fleas in my house with no carpet(hardwood floors)?

Answer 1

Vacumn. Vacumn everything, floors (yes, I know, no carpet, I'll get to that), furniture, beds (pet and human). Every 2 days for 2 weeks. New fleas hatch every few days so you have to get all of them, everywhere they hide. That's why you vacumn hardwood, focus on base boards and under furniture.
You have to treat all of your pets. Use Advantage or Frontline they are the most effective and safest. Every month, even through winter, so there is no opportunity for even a few to get in and breed.
You have to treat your yard. Go to the hardware store and get a pesticide. Follow all of the directions to the letter. Pay special attention to the section where it says, "repeat treatment". You have to treat a few times to get them all. Darn baby fleas are almost indistructable in their eggs. You gotta wait for them to hatch, then kill 'em.
Prevention is easier. Once you have them on the run be sure you keep the pets on flea meds.
Good luck

Answer 2

Get an adaptor to plug a light bulb in near the floor. At night plug the light bulb in and place a bowl of soapy water (dishwashing soap and water) underneath it. The fleas jump towards the light and drown in the soapy water. For some reason this doesn't work with plain water. Try it, you'll be amazed how many fleas you kill nightly. Change the water every night. Depending on how bad your fleas are, you should be rid of them within a few days to a week.

we have tried eveything over the years (moved into a house where the previous owner had animals and apparantly did not know what flea spray was) stage 1... do the cats with frontline stage 2.. do the house with an initial burst of frontline stage 3 the only thing we have found that is a permenant, effective defence is some weird lamps.. they hold a nightlight style bulb and a sticky pad, the fleas are attracted to the warmth of the bulb, and stick on the pad... we have used them now for two years and have been completely free of fleas (yet the gadget catches about 50 a month)... they had become resistant to all sprays, bombs and everything else.. (the lamps are available on ebay for about £10/$20) after being plauged by fleas for years i would highly recommend them.. they really do work... but complete blitz of the house with frontline first, and make sure all pets are treated monthly with the spot on treatment (or better if you can afford it) (and iu know where your coming from.. we had spent hundreds of pounds of flea sprays and bombs and just baout got things under control.. took four days away from the house to get married, came back, and you could literally see them jumping around... the lamps where the first thing that realy kept the house clear) of course i hold no legal responsibility if you spend £50 on lamps and they dont work for you.... they did for us.. and after 30 years the first thing that really has...

Answer 4

Since you asked in the pet category... If your animals are not getting a good quality flea treatment you won't be able to get rid of the fleas in the house. The generic flea goops and collars and what not from the grocery store and pet store don't work and can be toxic.

Make sure to vacuum the animals and your beds and any couches and cloth type surfaces well.

Answer 5

I read this in readers digest, I think. It said to place a bowl of vinegar in the room that has the fleas, under a night light. The light attracts them to it and they fall into the vinegar killing them.
