My wife went into an old storage building yesterday. When she got into my truck, she noticed that she had fleas on her leg and on her pants. Now fleas are in my truck. Got in it this morning and they jumped all over my legs. Any ideas how to get rid of them in the truck? Dont need flea infestation in my truck carpet. Help!!

Going to agree. I work more or less in the real estate sector. We had a couple houses that were INFESTED with fleas. Almost to plague proportions. Used the Fogger style bug bombs a few times and it did great. I don't see why it would not work for your truck.
I would make sure you do not need to be in it for a while and leave the windows up. Also just as a help. You can also use Diatomaceous Earth in the carpet of your vehicle which will somewhat slow the suckers down.

You don't need to bug bomb it.
Spray upholstery designed poison in the carpet and at the base of the seats. A few things working for you here...
1. Fleas need to eat. They'll die fairly quickly stuck in your truck.
2. Fleas move around all over the place. That poison is deadly effective if they cross over or through it. It's almost impossible for a flea contained in that area to not stumble into it.
You can also buy the organic powder (smells like oranges) or spray and just distribute it around the vehicle.
They die very quickly. If you leave your truck in the sun with the windows up, that's probably enough to kill them too.
