Eggs of fleas can stay unhatched for a very long time. The vibration

I had a dog and 3 cats that I found dropped off in our area. I took
them in and got fleas really bad.

I went to my local do it yourself pest control company and used what
they recommended.; I haven't had fleas in 3 years. Here is a link
to some informaiton for it.

You can buy from them to have it shipped.

I found this works very well in my home to get rid of our flea problem
in early summer. I sprinkle borax power on the carpet we leave it
overnight and vac the next day it kills the eggs by drying them out. I
have been using this for 5 years now and it has worked great.
The local pest control told me this is what he uses in homes for
families that can't take the harsh chemical smell.
