Where were you?
You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen
Have you tried Seven? Sprinkle a very small amount on your carpet, and let it sit overnight, then vacuum it. When you are waiting for it to sit on the carpet, then give your puppy another flea bath.
iv tried the seargents gold every product from that line. also does anyone know if its okay to give a dog a bath 5 days after being noodered with the stiches?
try placing a plate of dawn and water near where they are the most at. This will attract them and they will drown. Try giving your dog a bath in dawn.

Well - this is what we did to get rid of our fleas. In every room that had fleas, we put a shallow pan of soapy water.. like.. with dish water. But it has to be low enough for the fleas to easily jump in - but wide enough that they can land in it. Then put a lamp over it so that it shines directly on the pan of water. Leave it on all night. In the morning you’ll have a pan full of fleas. Do this each night until your satisfied.If you combine this with vaccuming every day several times a day - and just bath your dog in a very mild soap in the morning and at night - you should have the problem solved in about a week. … i could be wrong though - but its worth a try. It worked for us.
i like that answer, Joy. i recommend this to you to do!
No, do not give him a bath, until those stiches come out. Also stay away from HARTZ products, they are very dangerous to pets.
iv tried some HARTZ… the bath soap and it was worthless..

Oh I was going to say Advantage or Frontline! How dangerous is it? because it works soooo well!!
There is a specific type of dish soap that kills fleas also. I believe it is called Dawn
Also if you go to petsmart, look for something called “DEFLEA” its an ann natural product that is very safe to use. And can be used multiple times without casuing harm to your lil one.
Hartz is VERY dangerous
Once you got Fleas in the House you will not get rid of them easily. No good bathing the Dog with all the expansive Stuff if they are everywhere in the House .Get a Exterminator it’ll cost about $60 bucks he will get rid of the little critters .Than you can start with the dog. There is special drops you can get from the Vet.One drop behind the neck will last 3 Month .Good Luck….
Advantage too? Apparently depends on where you live (US) and is not as bad as HARTZ.
Advantage is safer then hartz, from what I have read
I guess it still has chemicals in it though…
I googled some home remedies….

Hope that helps…
flea shampoo Only works when left on pet a min of 3 mins. It also only works until you wash it off. you need frontline or another mthly treatment. also treat your home and yard with a pyreathrean base spay. until you treat all places they will keep comming back.
