My Experience To Get Rid Of Fleas in pet's housing and Bed With 0 Dollar
Convey to you my experience in getting rid of fleas in carpet and bed:First of all, we did not discover this until after the spread and as have told you I thought it cockroaches bites, but Stings and insomnia throughout the night was on the rise, and began to show the impact of stinging widely and on whole family's skin, until we found one of them walked over the bed, it was a thunderbolt, and from here we started to search for the rest of the flea army, the resistance and the weapons collection began to prepare for fleas war.
The first thing we have done is to change the external bed sheets for mattresses and leaving it soaked with water for a day or two.
We started to expose all "mattresses of the house" to the sun at peak time, since the time of nine o'clock, to the even time of 2:00 p.m..
The best place is the roof of the house or enclosures for balconies, because the sunlight spreads better there.
After exposing them to the sun for several days, washed all the linens and bedspreads with detergents well and exposed them in the sun to dry.
At the time, vacuum all carpets, mattresses, linens, and even the tablecloths, use Portable Electronic Vacuum Cleaner to draw all dropped fleas and eggs on the mattresses
vacuum is the best way to get rid of fleas in carpet, as the machine get the fleas out of the carpet with their eggs and larvae.
We bring furniture, because the fleas were hiding there also, even if were not in large infestations, but to ensure that the fleas be eliminated permanently everywhere, we exposed them to the sun first then painting them with wood painting, and as the the painting material has a strong smell it may make all the insects run away.
We painted the doors, too, and so was the renewal of full house, no need to buy a new house for now, :)
Cleaning is the best way to get rid of bed fleas, after cleaning and vacuuming, we had did smoking in the room and the apartment using a smoke bomb (flea bomb) from any store or using some incense sticks, such as that used in yoga and meditation, lock the room so well to let the incense smoke heavily deployed in the room.
Every night we are keen to physical hygiene and the use of perfume or scented creams largely, because fleas and bed bugs all troubled by the strong odor and sliding on the body which moisturized with cream.
Fight against fleas in carpet and bed lasted several weeks and ended with a fantastic victory on fleas.
Believe me, we didn't used any special detergents or cleaning companies, all we need is to arming the house against house fleas, natural methods still work.

24hrs before spraying this on your yard, give your lawn it a fresh mow and water. And if you're trying to get rid of crickets, right after hosing your lawn down with this bug killer, water your lawn again right away.Then don't plan on mowing again for 2-3 days.

What is the danger of flea larvae?
Larvae will get deep into carpet fibers, in cracks between floor boards, under beds, furniture and rugs and around skirting boards. Moreover the larvae of fleas can survive for long in sand and gravel. The minor food of larvae is dead skin cells, organic material and the blood rich faeces of adult fleas. Larvae move by round movement using hair like bristles that enable them to move around to corners, crevices, under furniture, in cracks between floor boards and along baseboards of your house or yard.

What is a flea cycle?
What is a flea cycle?
Here is the complete life span that each flea insect must go to be an adult sucker flea.
Fleas lay their eggs after a blood feed on the animal but these flea eggs quickly drop off on to the carpet, floor, bedding and outside areas. In fact anywhere your pet goes becomes a battle zone.
The life cycle of the flea depends on temperature, humidity and source of food. The life cycle of the flea from egg to adulthood can vary from two weeks to eight months.
An adult female flea can lay up to 600 eggs in its life time.
Eggs can hatch anywhere between two days and two weeks.
After the eggs hatch they become larvae. These are little worm like insects that get deep into carpet fibers, in cracks between floor boards, under beds, furniture and rugs and around skirting boards. They also thrive in sand and gravel. They feed on dead skin cells, organic material and the blood rich faeces of adult fleas. Although they don’t have legs they can move around and make their way to corners and crevices
The little worm like larvae develop over a period of one to three weeks going through four moulting stages then spin themselves a silken cocoon, just like a caterpillar. This is called the pupae stage. They can remain in their cocoons for several months but will hatch if conditions are right. Vibrations can trigger them to hatch and this is the reason why you can be suddenly covered by fleas after a house has been left unoccupied for a long period of time.
