Default Flea Problem

About 3 weeks ago, my pet dog of more than 10 years passed away to old age. Ever since his death, my home has experienced a mild infestation of fleas, probably formerly of his. I've tried several steps such as vacuuming my home 3-5 times per week and even purchasing a product from Fleabusters. The Fleabusters product helped to a certain extent,but I still manage to see a few fleas every so often. I seem to be the flea's personal target as other members of the household have not been severely affected as me. So, I was wondering has anyone experienced such a problem. Any helpful information will be appreciated. Thanks.

I had the exact problem of being the only victim in the family. I would wake up with a hundred or so bite marks on my feet and ankles. My brother who slept a mere five feet away would have no bite marks whatsoever.

Anyways, we bought a few aerosol cans of flea fogger and fumigated the place and it worked. I don't know the long term effect of the flea fogger because my family moved into a new house shortly after.

You might wanna google "flea control" or something and check out your options before you take action. Good luck.

You wanna get a product that kills not just the fleas, but the eggs as well. There are lots of products out there. I once used a spray product that was made by Hart. It killed eggs for up to 3 months. Just spray that shiet on the carpet then vacume the next day. Presto, no more fleas.

I used to have a dog but Tasha died of old age

Hey...you might wanna pick up some flea shampoo for yourself
