anyone know where you can buy scot's flea and tick spray for the house ? how to get rid of flees in a carpet?

Answer 1

Sorry, I've never heard of that brand of flea and tick spray.

To get rid of fleas in the carpet, go to the grocery store and buy a box of 20 Mule Team Borax, which you'll find in the clothes detergent section

Get an old plastic container that you can poke some holes in and dump some of the Borax in the container. Sprinkle it all over the rug generously. DO NOT VACUUM BEFORE DOING THIS.

Using a broom, make sure you brush the Borax into the rug so that it gets down to the bottom.

Leave it on the rug for three days, and then vacuum. If the flea problem is rally bad, you may need to give the carpet a second treatment.

I did this many ears ago when I had a flea problem, and it worked perfectly. I've never seen another flea in my house since, and it was my vet who told me to so this.

I've also heard of people using salt in the same way, but I think the Borax treatment is easier, cheaper and won't hurt or stick to your feet if walk barefoot on the carpet , not to mention it's less abrasive on your carpeting than salt is.

Answer 2

Try a hardware store for the flea spray or powder that you can sprinkle on the carpet and vacuum up. They should also have a lawn spray that you can use to prevent fleas from getting into the house again. Once we eradicated them from our house.... we live next to a river where there are a ton of fleas.... we sprayed the yard down with an anti-flea spray and have not seen one flea since. It was a solution you spread with the help of a garden hose. That was 4 years ago.
Hope this helps and have a great day!!!

Are the fleas really bad in the house? If so you can go to your pet store and get zodiac flea powder for carpets. There is another called Virbac knockout fogger. I'm not for sure if its sold in the pet stores or not. I have used this and it really works, I got it from 1800petmeds. You will want to treat the dog or cat which ever you have as well. I really like advantage for dogs or cats, its water proof and last a month.

Answer 5

OK... its real simple, it may take a while, but it will work I promise. Get Seven Dust, you can find it at Walmart, treat your yard, get everywhere.... keep dog locked up, or out of the yard for a few hours afterwards. Leash walk him or something... let it sit in the dirt for an hour or so, take a water hose, and water it down so it goes into the soil... make sure it is dry before letting the dog back into the yard. Get Frontline... its expensive, but it works. Around 15$ a single treatment on dogs. It really works, they have a 100% guarantee, trust me, it will work. Treat the yard, the dog, and the inside of your house. Fleas come in by hundreds... they like to live at the edge of funiture or hiding under something, so make sure you move all your funiture around .... sprinkle seven dust in your carpet, let it sit for an hour, vacuum it up, your dog shouldnt mess with it if he's inside, just dont leave big piles sitting around, spread it semi evenly (much like carpet deodorizor) Vaccum it up in an hour, moving the couch to vaccum at its edge etc. Do this once a day for a week.. they will be out of your house. If you dont treat the yard, and the dog, they will be back on your dog, and will be back in your house... im telling you this really works.

attempt Frontline Plus. We had issues like that, and then I discovered that bathing your puppy easily makes it worse! i assumed i grow to be helping do away with fleas by potential of bathing my cats once I observed fleas, even though it washed off the convenience, so after bathing, a clean application is mandatory. I have been given a domestic dog, and the vet instructed me to apply cleansing soap-loose shampoo. I bathe my puppy previously month-to-month purposes now. additionally, ask you associates what flea application kind they use, via fact i think of fleas get "immune" to a pair issues, so discover out what works the place you reside. i'm additionally removing my sand container this twelve months reason that is yet another fashionable spot for fleas. additionally, positioned Borax (powdered laundry booster) on your vacuum bag. It kills fleas. ideally, you will desire to airborne dirt and dirt your carpet with it, permit it sit down for twenty-four hours, and vacuum it as much as kill fleas. it is confusing to do in case you have babies interior the domicile, although. solid success!
