With out bombing the house...?

Question

How do you get rid of fleas in the house when you have a baby under a year?

Answer 1

"If you have fleas everywhere in your house, a good way to get rid of them is to create a soap water mixture. Place it below a light. The warmth seeking fleas will dive into the mixture. After a day, you will see a bowl full of suicide fleas!"

Note: I have personally used this technique, and it really worked for me. I just mixed laundry detergent and water.

Answer 2

I am afraid they are right,you will need to call a professional exterminator,unless you can keep the baby off the carpet,couches,and any other areas where the fleas may hide,in which case I would get a stong flea powder,use as directed,and then rent a steam cleaner,to be certain the flea powder was properly removed.this methed would take about two days I belive,but might be slightly more affordable then the exterminator,and to be honest,I would talk to a manager before I let the exterminator spay,and explain to him that you have a baby,just to be double sure.

Answer 3

Sprinkle Borax all over the carpets, brush it in with a broom, let it sit for about 6 hrs. Then vacuum the floors. The fleas will eat the soap and die.
