I need specific help with fleas?
A week ago my wife noticed she had a flea bite upon getting out of bed in the morning.
We live in the south and have three dogs, all are on permethrin.
We decided to go with diotamaceius earth due to the low or no side effects and dusted everything except the hardwood floor.
In bed the fleas were persistent so we dusted every sheet, blanket, and even directly on the mattress (we don t use a box spring) and let sit for several hours while at work.
We left the DE on the rug and washed the sheets and comforter, leaving the DE on the mattress covered by the special protectant fitted sheet we bought with the mattress when it was new.
My wife woke up with even more bites than ever, 6 to be exact, and now we re even more frustrated.
Should we keep applying the DE, move on and up to chemical sprays, or something else?
Your help is very much appreciated.
