PIXEL, BENITO, CLAUDIA & BRAD,
 
MY MOMMY, "ME" HAD OUR CARPETS CLEANED AND SENT THE "FLEA-X" MAN TO PUT SOME
"BORATE-SALT STUFF" WHICH DEHYDRATES THE FLEAS FOR UP AND OVER A YEAR.  BUT
IT CAN TAKE UP TO 6 WEEKS TO COMPLETELY RID THE HOUSE, BUT YOU DO NOTICED
AFTER 2 WEEKS, BUT IF YOUR PETS PLAY OUTSIDE, YOU MAY WANT THEM TO DO YOUR
YARD EVERY OTHER MONTH.  ABOUT $100.00 AND YARD $40.00 EVERY OTHER MONTH.
YOU CAN NOT SHAMPOO YOUR CARPETS DURING THIS TIME.  YOU CAN SPOT CLEAN......
(HOPEFULLY, YOUR 2 LEGGED PETS ARE LITTLE BOWL TRAINED)..... YOUR CARPETS
WITH OUT FEAR OF RE-INFESTION.  ME SAYS IT'S GREAT FOR ALL OF US, HAS BEEN
USING THEM FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS.  THERE IS NO TOXIC STUFF, SO IT WON'T HURT ANY
OF US OR EVEN OUR GREEN POTTED PLANTS.  (I HAVE ALWAYS LEFT IT ON THE CARPET
FOR 2 - 3 DAYS BEFORE VACUUMING.  YOU CAN PUT IT INTO YOUR COUCH CREASES.)
BUT OF COURSE US FUZZIES MAY NOT WANT TO SEE ANYONE, WE DON'T KNOW.
 
THIS HAS WORKED FINE FOR WITH CATS & DOGS LOOSE, I (ME) DIDN'T HAVE MY
FUZZIES UNTIL FEB 97.  I'M SURE LA HAS THESE PEOPLE, OR "FLEA-B-GONE" GROUP.
YOU CAN BUY THIS STUFF (SORT A, POWERED FORM) AT A GOOD PET SUPPLY PLACE,
BUT I DIDN'T LIKE THE POWER FORM, IT WAS DUST EVERYWHERE.  SALT FORM WAS
BETTER FOR GOING INTO YOUR CARPETS AND NOT BLOWING EVERYWHERE.
 
MY VET MENTIONED SOME SHAMPOOS AND CLOTHES DETERGENT CAN IRRITATE SKIN TOO.
 
GOOD LUCK,
