permethrin

Is that the same stuff that keeps mosquitoes away?

Pan with soapy water and a light over it at night. They will come to the light and jump in and drown. Seriously, it works.

It certainly helps. I bought a quart in early summer for $15. Sprayed the yard twice and have 3/4 qt remaining.1

This does work. Use a white or galvanized "pan" so you can see how many you get each night. Leave it out every night until you don't see the little boogers in your pail. Move it around the yard nightly.

Bifenthrin will knock them out. I paid a guy to come out and treat our yard a few years ago and that is what he used.

Get some beneficial nematodes. Nematodes feed on flea larvaes. You can spray them on the yard....

Use garlic salt in dog and cat foods for your pets. It will help fleas stay away from it. I use triazicide in spring when I know we will be getting rain the day after. I know it is powerful pesticide. As far as organic. I'm not sure. Others have say permethrin or diametiscus. (sp) may be better than Triazicide. I only use one a year. It helps along with garlic salt in the food bowl. Good luck.

permethrin

This was the ONLY thing I found to get rid of them! They are the spawn of the devil! I had em in the house so bad that I couldn't stay there! I diluted it down and sprayed everywhere for two in & outside!
The flea bombs are like water to gremlins & a lot wasted money!

Good Luck!!
