Our home had fleas and spiders! How did we get rid of the pests?

Our home had fleas and spiders! How did we get rid of the pests?

Scroll down for the online special from Terminix!

Two months ago our widowed father (Dawn's Dad) brought Annabelle over to spend the weekend and she had fleas. Annabelle is his poodle and constant companion since Mom died.

Prior to this our only real problem was spiders. We hired Terminix Pest Control to take care of his house and attempted to eradicate our pest problem on our own. After all it was only one weekend and we sprayed our home and bathed Annabelle immediately.

Well Dad's house was flea free within two weeks. Terminix asks that you wait that long to allow for the fleas life and reproduction cycle to complete.

We weren't so fortunate. Our home was being overrun with Fleas and Spiders and we had tried everything. This post will help other families eliminate time-wasting, costly remedies that don't really work. We tried sprays, bombs, collars, shampoos, and other residential solutions that only provided a temporary fix.

The flea life cycle is fairly complex, and understanding the various stages will make it easier to get rid of them. You can read about it in-depth on many sites, just Google it.

Here are some tips that will help control the infestation until you get professional pest control help:
  • Keep all rooms clean.
  • Remove all clutter and vacuum carpet daily removing the bag or emptying the canister outside.
  • Wash floors with a Borax solution. Borax can also be used as a duster on your carpet. This is supposed to help.
  • Remove and wash all clothing, sheets from infested areas.
  • Treat pets with a vet certified product like Front Line.

So here we are 2 months later frustrated and flea bitten. The little buggers are very resilient.

I'm calling Terminix. You know what they say, "A happy life is a happy wife?", right now she's not real happy.
