Rented house - just moved in and fleas

miss_marsters

My mums just had a recent episode with bedbugs, after the house is sprayed it can still take 14-21 days for them to die, as the spraying doesnt kill the eggs, but as they hatch they walk on the stuff and get killed.

Are you are certain they are fleas, they could be bed bugs... much, much worse

your using Frontline, switch to Advocat.

I second this. No need for an expensive pest removal firm in most instances, a can or two of this will normally do the job. Kills the eggs crucially.

You might get a resurgence a few weeks later in case any eggs which were hidden away from the initial spray hatch. Just repeat, although I have never had to.
