I was wondering not if the flea fogger will ruin the clothing... but if i have to wash the chemicals off of them before wearing them... especaly my kids clothing... am i over doing it or does it have to be done?

After the flea bombing which only kills the live fleas you will want to vacuum and change the bag often or empty the canister outside... I like to put a cheapie flea collar in the cansiter to kill any live fleas... I used baking soda mixed with regular table salt on my carpets... The baking soda smothers live fleas and the salt punctures the eggs.. It also freshens the carpet and picks up any dirt... It's also cheap for a 12 lb. bag at the wholesale club about $5 and the salt $2 for 3 lbs... It's also non-toxic ! If you want to know if you still have fleas hanging around .. Leave a desk lamp on the floor near a light colored glass bowl.. with an inch or so of water in it with some dishsoap.. If there's dead one's in the morning you still may have a problem... Just keep vacuuming and you should be able to get them all.. I wouldn't bother washing all your clothes or the baby clothes just be careful of your food surface's. Good luck

Don't worry mama.Just wash the dishes and you will be good.You must live in an apartment where neighbors have pets and the fleas have penetrated the walls,or else you just had sand put in your yard.If you are in an apartment,after you vacuum the carpets,throw out the bag and put a new bag in with a handful of mothballs in the bag.This will kill any fleas you suck up so they don't reproduce in the bag.If its sand in your yard,get some orthene granules and broadcast over sand.Fleas can jump 13 feet and can get thru the smallest crack.

when are carpets safe for a 1 year old after fogging? we just bought a home and instantly had a flea problem, it's been 4 days since we aired the house. Also we are getting new carpet in a few months so should we bother steam cleaning?

With every day pass, our country is getting into more and more trouble. The inflation, unemployment and falling value of dollar are the main concern for our Government but authorities are just sleeping, they don’t want to face the fact. Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.
According to recent studies made by World Bank, the coming crisis will be far worse than initially predicted. So if you're already preparing for the crisis (or haven't started yet) make sure you watch this video at http://www.familysurvival.tv and discover the 4 BIG issues you'll have to deal with when the crisis hits, and how to solve them fast (before the disaster strikes your town!) without spending $1,000s on overrated items and useless survival books.

The important thing is the follow-up on flea spray. I'd try calling a local vet to find out what you need to know. Be sure you are using a good professional product on the fleas. They will lay engs and continue to bother you unless you follow up with more spray. I wouldn't worry about your clothes; it shouldn't harm them.
