My two dogs just recently contracted fleas in our yard and now they are in the house and they have attacked the family. I have dipped the dogs and sprayed the house and now we are suffering from flea bites!!! How do you treat FLEA Bites?

I had this happen once. Fleas are unbelievably prolific! I did what a friend suggested, and it helped. It's lots of work, though...

First be sure the pests are GONE. Turn the AC down as low as you can bear it - sixty-something. That makes the living fleas go dormant. Powder the carpet with Boric Acid (won't hurt anything) and then vacuum the bejeebers out of it several hours later. That will get the eggs they laid. Wash all the bedding. You already treated the critters - good.

THEN - after you've made sure they aren't coming back or hatching eggs, relax in a hot bath with a whole bag of Epsom salts - that will naturally help with the itching. If you still are irritated, OTC Benadryl cream is very effective (I'm sure other brands are, too). The bumps go away after a week or two if you don't scratch.

that is sweet which you taken care of her with Advantix, because it repells the fleas as different products do not. you're able to proceed to maintain her on a month-to-month medical care time table twelve months around to maintain her from suffering back. it may take some days/weeks to heal, counting on her well being, age and the severity of the harm. She would have a epidermis an infection that demands antibiotics with the aid of chewing and licking on the section. An e-collar can ward off her from further injuring the section.

You can't realy treat flea bites, you just have to endure them untill they heal.
