Need help with MAJOR Flea infestation of home & yard.?
I have several dogs, all of which are treated by frontline, groomed weekly and flea and tick free. My home and yard are infested with them. I read that watering your lawn will usually do the trick outside, but that is not working in my case.
I’ve used a carpet powder for fleas in my home, mop daily, vacuum along baseboards, have even taken out area rugs and nothing seems to be helping.
My kids play outside, and are covered in them which makes playing outside impossible. I’ve even started seeing them inside our vehicles.
I really need a sure fire way of getting rid of them because my son has skin allergies, and the fleas are literally driving him crazy, not to mention that I’m extremely paranoid we will accidentally ingest them! YUK!

Most home improvement stores have powers that will kill fleas.
I would go with what Applecrisp says about a powder for the yard- if it’s something that won’t kill the beneficial bugs too. Otherwise, if you have the space, try growing a lot of aromatic herbs such as mints, sages, tansy, and so on: Fleas don’t like a lot of these.
Good luck!
