you really need to buy indorex from the vets it's great stuff works really well, i'd say buy two cans . Start from upstairs and work down every nut and cranny skirting boards etc........open windows its strong stuff !!!

I had a flea infestation a while ago we uaed nuvan staykill from the vets. You buy a spray for the cat and one for the house it is quite expensive but really done the job. You need to spray round skirting boards and door frames anywhere the little blighters could get into and all your soft furnishings then leave it for maybe a week. Hope you get your prob sorted soon I know it is a nightmare and embarrassing when friends come to visit

Im not in the same situation. We have mice. And its discusting isnt it (different problems) and it made me itch just reading what you put. Hope you get it sorted xxxxx

Never vacuum for at least a week after any infestation tratment. I remember years ago when I got moved into a HA flat. The place was FILTHY and the cheapo paper carpet full of burns and god knows had been left - along with a cockroach infestation. It Killed me to have to live another day - let alone another week - with that carpet but the pest control peeps said to let it lie and not to vaccum. I tell ya that carpet could have walked on its own when I moved in but the pest control peeps done their job and I never saw another cockroach the five years I stayed there

i dont know about hoovering and things though........maybe going down to a vets and asking their advice.....

WE got desperate im afraid and called in pest control. Not seen a flea since and trust me we've looked. 6 days clear! Only cost £38. When i think of all the money i wasted on vets stuff. They came the next day, whilst i was at work.

Im not allowed to hoover for between 3 and 6 weeks(yeah like thats gonna happen). He said minimum 3 weeks as we got rid of kittent 3 weeks previous. He confirmed that this year the beggers are so much harder to kill and are becoming immune to all the treatments. A lot of tins say they kill other things too but this year most other things on the tin havent been dying. Scary thought isnt it!!!

My dog had fleas not long ago - it was horrible! My legs were bitten to shreds and I'd find them everywhere. Managed to get rid of them - thanks to advice on here! I asked around my friends and neighbours and got some valuable advice, one of my neighbours had an awul reoccuring flea problem with their cat (god knows where it kept picking them up from - I guess you never know where cats go...) - they have bought a flea repeller which you put on the collar of your dog or cat and haven't had a problem since! I've looked around and the best one seems to be http://www.primrose-london.co.uk/flea-repeller-p-1967.html - I received mine last week and so far so good!:beer:

I think you should face facts and at least get a pest control company to give you a quote. We had a simular problem a few months back and I called out my local branch of NBC they were great. They will give you a free survey and beleive me if your problem is not too bad they will simply give you advice on how to treat is yourself but if it needs to be sorted out once and for all - as it seems in your case - they are quick, clean and very considerate. We had them in they did the house and that was it - no more problem they even called to check that everything was still ok 2 weeks later. Give them a try if you still have the little beggers jumping at you they have a website at http://www.nbcbirdandpest.co.uk

I hope you get sorted soon there is nothing worse than seeing bites on your kids, I was so embaresed and it made me really depressed I just wanted to get as far away from the house as possible but like I said there gone now and I am left wondering why I didn't get on with it sooner. Cost is only relative - if it s making you ,miserable get it sorted!!
