So annoying b.c. I don't have pets, but my beloved housesitter did and left some unwanted guests when my family and i came back. Anyway, the home has been treated 2x's and the co. is coming for another respray tomorrow...I have vaccuumed every day, sometimes @the max. amount of 3x/day. It's kinda hard w/ 3000 sq. ft to vaccuum. and only one room is carpeted. I hardly have a prob. in the carpeted room now and things have gotten better but it's flaring up again...i THINK the buggers nested under the dishwasher in the insulation b.c. every morning fleas jump on me in front of the dishwasher.

Am I vaccuuming too much b.c. I spend close to 1 hr. vaccuuming each time and like i mentioned b4 i sometimes do it 3x's per day. Must I get a new filter each time? the vaccuum is bagless but has a filter. Should I spray with some sort of store product after the sprayers have left? Are hardwood floors just harder to kill bugs in?

Oh no! Thats terrible. I hope your yacht doesn't have fleas too!


I grew up in a house with fleas. If you don't have pets they will go away without any hosts to live on. If they aren't biting YOU then you don't have a real problem.

If you have access to wax myrtle trees try cutting small brances/twigs from it and placing them under furniture and in other inconspicuous locations. The wax myrtle will help repel them. This has worked well for my family of cat owners.
