jessieholsinger Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Okay, I thought that I saw something crawling on Stealth- so I started checking him- I found a freaking flea on him. It is only one from what I can tell but now I am needing to know what to do for him right now for the fleas? and if they are in my house what do I do- There was a issue on Thursday night (see VENTING!!!!!!!) for the update! Is there any home remedys that I can do for him right now until PetSmart opens in the am? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtnek Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 I have heard, but never confirmed, that if you put dawn soap in a bowlof water on the floor, just a couple drops, it will attract the fleas and they will drown in the bowl. the soap attaches to them somehow... 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lokipups Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Yup, a shallow pan of water with lemon dish soap does the trick, just put the pan on the floor, preferably under a bright light (with the rest of the room dim), and you should see a whole bunch of them in there the next morning. And get a flea collar and put it in the bag or cannister of the vacuum and give the whole house the once over too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schippsmom Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 :Dog_run: I did that and it worked ok. Basically a temporary solution but not a long term one. Don't forget to change the vacuum cleaner bag each time you vacuum and take the bag outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtnek Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 no I agree. long term would be frontline, or some such.My vet told me that frontline will also kills fleas in the house, but I'm not quite sure how that works... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
