Default How to deal with flea in carpet?

Dear All,

The weather is getting hot. Recently we have noticed there maybe fleas
in our carpet. We don't want to replace the carpet, because that is
several thousand dollars. I am wondering if there are some other ways to
deal with it.

We don't have pets in our home. But the previous owner has one. We
bought the house and moved in two years ago.

Many thanks.


Hello,
Hint from Heloise has a great option. Totally natural, use moth
balls... crush a bag of moth balls in a zip lock bag, once crushed
sprinkle on the carpet. Leave on for a bit, vaccum up. Throw the old
bag away add a few moth balls to the new bag. Open the windows because
the smell may be a bit overpowering.
My old roommate had an outside cat that would come into his room, when
he moved he left me all the fleas... It worked great.
