Id say, call in a proffessional pestie, and get it done properly,

as you say, you'vre already payed money out and it dint work, so getting some stuff "cheap" is not a gurantee it'll work, as you may not apply it correctly

get yourself some fycam..the reason it might not have worked is that most stuff only kills the live fleas...but there will be lots of dormant ones waiting to hatch...these can stay dormant for a weeks/months untill movement hatches them out ie somebody walking on the floorboard their attatched to and as such a repeat spraying will be needed before the freshly hatched can breed again...hope this has helped....good luck

yes thats it just go down the local store to get some ficam chuck it about the place dogs come walking in licking the floor, dead dog, ficam is for pro use only, the worst thing you done was get rid of the carpets cause now they will be breeding in the floor boards taffy apple stick to what u know best which isnt pest control

you shouldent/wont be able to get hold of ficam without being able to prove your properly trained. call in a pro, for an average house you shouldent be looking at more than £100 or so to get it sorted, saves a lot of hassel messing around yourself.

[badgerboy 3]

id say get the pros in as if you keep spending out on stuff it will soon mount up prob be cheper in the long run plus you should have peace of mind that the job is done properly

good luck with it mate

Morning, if money is really tight and you cant get professional help then keep up the frontline as that will kill any fleas that come into contact with the dogs and hoover properly and I mean properly every day making sure you empty the bag after every go. It will interrupt the lifecycle of the fleas. Depending on which fleas they are, and there are lots, they also will only be able to reproduce by feeding from their specific host ie dog fleas need a blood meal from a dog and a cat flea will need a blood feed from a cat etc. So if the dogs are frontined and the house is hoovered then in time the fleas will go. I cant stress enough about the hoovering being a good one, all the cracks and crevices, move the furniture to get underneath where you dont normally get to. Even a professional service can take time or fail so be patient.

Good luck.

Get a pro in who will use some proper insecticide, ficam in not that good on fleas Kills the adults but won't interrupt their life cycle, an experienced pro will use some insecticide that will sort them out. Do not try and diy as you have already found out to your cost it won't work!
