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.


Sprinkle Sevin garden dust into your carpet and leave it a few hours
(we left ours overnight), then vacuum up. Killed an infestation on the
first application. Kate.

I really doubt you will have fleas after 2 years of not having a dog
in the house. They must have a live animal to live on. You either
have another pest or a vivid imagination. If anyone really does have
fleas, the flea spray sold to spray on pets will kill them. I have
done this. Just spray the carpet and furniture liberally.
