I found fleas in my apt tonight

[Iron Woode]

It seems my GF brought them over on the weekend. She was playing with her brother's dogs and brought the little bastards with her when she came over.

I thought it was just my imagination at first. They don't like the way I taste, so they aren't biting me. I can feel them jumping on and off me, though.



I have already started spraying them and hope they will be gone shortly.

That sucks. Just fog your apt and tell your neighbors not to breathe in for a couple days.

Pics of the bitch... and by that I mean the female dog the brother has.

At least they are better then crabs.

He he... Your girlfriend has fleas :^P

Vacuuming might be enough to get rid of them if you don't have pets, and don't live in a flea infested area. When I lived in the flatlands I couldn't get rid of the bastards. I think they hitched a ride in the house on me, then took up residence on the cat. After moving out of the area, I haven't had a single flea.

Lol, you and your gf has fleas.

Steam clean the carpet ASAP before they can lay eggs and multiply.

They will die off quickly if you don't have pets for them to feed on.

There is only one cure for fleas

my wife used ionized salt on the carpets to kill the eggs a few years ago then vacuumed it up

Salt or Borax will act as a dessicant and dry them out ... then you vacuum them up.

OP, do you have a DIY pest control shop nearby? I do and I bought (and still use) a product named Demon WP. The critters walk through it, they clean themselves and ingest it ... and it cuts them up inside.
