Pets are the most likely culprit for bringing fleas into your house, so keeping your pets clean and groomed will help stop the infestation at its source. To treat your pet:  Comb your pet’s fur with a flea comb, concentrating at the neck and tail especially Swish the comb around in soapy water after each brush to kill fleas After combing, soak your pet with a hose or in a tub Lather your pet’s fur with a flea controlling shampoo Leave the shampoo on the fur for a few minutes Rinse your pet down Repeat regularly during the spring, summer, and fall Adult fleas, eggs, larvae, and pupae can hide almost anywhere in your house, so you must vacuum three to four times each week to stay on top of them. Use a strong vacuum that will suck fleas and eggs from the nooks and crannies in your house. Use a brush or nozzle attachment for hard to reach areas.  Vacuum floors, carpets, sideboards, furniture, around windows, and especially around areas where your pet spends the most time. After vacuuming with a bag-style vacuum, remove the bag, tie it tightly in a plastic bag, and remove it from the house immediately. Fleas and eggs won’t survive a trip through the washing machine and dryer, so launder everything that can go into the washing machine, and hand wash everything else. Use the hottest water setting and highest heat setting in the washer and dryer. Items to wash include:  Blankets Sheets Pillow cases Pillows Shoes Clothes Pet toys Pet bowls Towels Flea infestations can persist for months if you're not successful at removing all the fleas and their eggs. For stubborn infestations, use a pyrethrin-based pesticide with an insect growth regulator, such as Ultracide or Onslaught. Apply the insecticide inside and outside.  Get everybody out of the house. Put on gloves, goggles, long sleeves, and a respirator to apply the insecticide. Use a dust or aerosol and apply a light mist on floors, walls, furniture, and all other surfaces inside the house. Allow the dust or spray to settle before letting people back in. Vacuum after 48 hours. Outside, apply a layer of dust or spray to the garden, on bushes and shrubs, around tall grass, in wooded areas, and around windows and doors.
