Lady Flying Furball Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Hi, As described in the title, I was slightly alarmed to find a live flea on my head . Tonka was itching so badly during the night that I got up at 5am to give him his monthly Advantage 5 days early. Perhaps they are escaping and will just die now that they can't stay on him. I'm certainly hoping so. Any suggestions or advice. Surely it takes a lot of fleas to create an infestation in the furniture... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisovar Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 You only need a couple of fleas to start an infestation, and this weather the fleas just love. Capstar twice weekly and Advantage , vaccum madly, bomb the house and you will on your way to stopping them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooBooBear Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Fleas are shocking this year. Our 13.5 year old Kimba has never had fleas and twice this Summer she has had horrible fleas, it's as though they arrive overnight in the bazillions. Poor little love. I had them on my feet outside We have now had the backyard and inside the house professionally sprayed. We have done Capstar and Advantix regularly since. It's awful because you feel like a bad parent but seriously it is so bad this year in Brisbane and I'm sure it's the same elsewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just hop on the dog for a feed. Try flea bombs in the house as well as treating the dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
