Dammit baw, I've never had problems with F--King FLEAS until this year. I've tried everything that Lowe's offers and I can't phase these MF's.
Any Advice, TIA

If you have dogs, use Trifexis.

Treat pets, and treat house yard.

I use talstar in yard, hit my pets with trifexis, and then use a fogger I buy on Amazon and add more than I need.

Catch is you can kill all the live ones, but the eggs will hatch and they come back so it is a repeat treatment.

Also get rid of any squirrels, rats and other rodents you have in the yard.

Fleas on a pet pretty easy to kill with shampoo.

Fleas in the yard spectracide makes something for that that works well.

Fleas in the house is tough. The only thing I've heard of working is one of those rainbow vacuums. Something about the eggs not being able to make it.

This is a fantastic product for yards.

I used to live in a neighborhood with tons of semi-feral cats.
Crazy cat hoarding lady down the block is in hell now.
Those frickers were stacked with fleas that would hitch a ride indoors.

A few broadcast treatments of Talstar in the yard and a few months if Comfortis for the dog did the trick.

Talstar + IGR inside and out and Trifexis for the pets.

What is the extent of your situation? Like a previous poster said, Trifexis is the way to go for prevention but if you already have an infestation youre going to need a larvicide. I would strongly suggest paying a pro to handle that if that is your case.

So the problem exist in my yard. I have wood floors so the house isn't a problem. I have treated the yard several times this year to no avail. I was bathing the dogs once a week but now I've bumped it to 3 times a week but that shite is getting old quick. I wash the dog beds with every dog bath so that's been bumped to 3 times a week as well. I've lived in this house for 8yrs & never had a problem until now. WTF

When we had fleas everywhere we did the following:

1. Used a salt/baking soda mixture and spread it everywhere, every nook and cranny. Let set then vacuumed up
2.set out plates with desk lights over them. The plates had water with soap in them. These are on the ground. We had three set up in an 800sq ft area. The fleas are attracted to them, jump onto the plate and drown in the soap water. Really helped to tell our progress.
3. Used some flea cleaner store bought crap
