Many years ago when I had a bad flea infestation I also used bombs to
annihilate the little blood suckers. But I hated the residue on EVERYTHING.
Like toxic slime. Luckily I haven't had to deal w/the problem for many
years.
Fleas are a big problem in GA. No matter who I've spoken to that has tried
a product called FLEA BUSTERS raves about it. It is not a chemical, but an
odorless non-toxic mineral power that's worked into the carpet & upholstery
& kills fleas in the home continually for a year or more. You can have the
service done for you by the company, or purchase the product from your vet.
Program is good (& very expensive), but doesn't kill the flea, it only keeps
them from reproducing. On my crits, as a preventative measure during the GA
heavy flea season, I use FRONTLINE (800-660-1842 for product info), which is
a neurosomethinginhibitor (it kills them), w/no ill effects to the ferrets.
The 8.5 oz bottle cost me about $20. But since you only sprits once down
the back of each frit it goes a long way.
