re: Best method for getting rid of Fleas?

Let an exterminator handle it. Seriously. Flea bombs from the hardware store don't work. After the exterminator does his thing, vacuum daily for a couple of weeks and wash all bedding. Exterminator is worth it if you have a flea infestation.

Yep. Ours started back late spring. Our dogs had them. Bathed and treated them. But they were in the basement by then. Couldn't seem to get rid of them. I tried multiple flea bombs. I tried the DE. All that did was slightly slow them down and cover everything in the basement with a fine powder when I used the shop vac to clean it up. Used a whole large bottle of flea spray. It looked like I had mopped down there. Finally called the exterminator that was already spraying the yard and told them what was going on. Two treatments and they're gone. First one got most of them but 10 days later there were still some down there. It has been about 4 days since the 2nd treatment and I haven't had any jump on me since then.
