My dog has fleas. I've been using the same brand of skin poison on her for years and no fleas. But now, fleas. Which means fleas in the house. Pointers (besides suicide or burning everything, they aren't practical)? Dog in question:

Dog goes outside and you both get in a kiddy pool to take a flea bath. Flea bomb da fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk out of your house. Those little fogger cannisters work really well but you have to leave the house all day. Go fuckin' do poo poo all day with your dog. Return to dead flea corpse house. Having fleas sucks butts. Enjoy not sleeping because bugs are jumping off your face after biting the gently caress out of you.

"Despite my best intentions and prevention measures" Usually after this situation I say stuff like HOLD STEADY BOY and real pirate poo poo to people in real life.

Vacuum, spray poison on ground that has IGR in it to make the inevitable thousands of fleas that hatch even post-vacuuming unable to reproduce and feed. I use Zoecon Precor 2000 premise spray. It's excellent and fairly affordable. There are alternative brands. You might have to do this 2-3 times depending on how bad you let it get, but generally 1-2 times is enough. Fleas aren't too hard to get rid of as long as you eliminate the source. Make sure your dog is properly treated and not trucking fleas around. Don't do any stupid bullshit home remedies. Don't gently caress around. Yeah, you can put soap in a dish with a light on it and kill a few hundred fleas. Guess what? You still have hundreds more and thousands of eggs that haven't hatched yet, idiot, and they will bite you and lay thousands more eggs for every bite. I guess if your place is small you could just vacuum a whole lot and properly dispose of the vacuum bags and that would eventually work, but I personally prefer better living through pesticides.

We vacuumed, bug bombed and repeated four times. But it was really bad so I hope this isnt too bad.

most anti-flea products haven't done jack poo poo whenever i've had an infestation. the only thing that's worked is that stuff that you spray onto the carpet/furniture that kills the eggs. then you just wait for the current generation to die off
