fleas we all get them , they find a way into the home and on our pets and ain't no one i mean nobody likes fleas they simple parasites that need to be terminated in their tracks !

i have studied the flea on and off with many battles and won many and yet its the eggs that lay hidden , i mean well hidden and they hatch when warmer weather and the buggers are back again

exercise extreme caution when using temperatures or liquids below -15 -20c and far lower as it can take your fingers off ! frost bite ! the only bite you wanna give is to those fleas so they won't forget !

temperature is one thing fleas do not like anything below 0c or - 15c -20c -30c or i know lets go extreme for extreme measures of results now shall we ?
liquid helium temperature -269c ( its not cheap stuff but its guaranteed to even get eggs if know where the eggs are ? )

liquid nitrogen temperature -196c

well even an ice Popsicle or an ice cube will terminate a flea within less than 10 seconds its called , " a shock to the system " if anyone of us had extreme - c temperature thrown over us it could be fatal ? so think about that ?

temperature humidity as nearing wintertime may see less of them if not none of them , inside home maybe warmed up if that is the case its gonna be comfort zone for them well into summertime , they don't like wintertime , only use heating if absolutely necessary ( or if have health issue i guess its no choice ) but try keep it less warmer for fleas if possible ?


good flea combs metal ones that pull them out of the fur and once seen , under a tap of water down they go and drown in the sink ! or place into water or best have some assistance to help a sit can be two person task and washing our pet to reducing the issue

fleas are outside but where ? i bet if placing water flea trap bowls outside and check within few days if any are inside the flea water trap then yes we can easily pick them up on our trousers shoes and only takes one or two inside and within maybe a week when seeing noticing our cat dog scratching very fast and often in different areas there is a flea issue that needs be dealt with right away before it escalates !

water drowning fleas with flea water traps placed around the home and they just hop/jump into it and drown within 10 to 15 seconds , terminated ! , toast ! it also gives peace of mind knowing the traps are set and can relax a little , ( so get a bowl add water and some little washing up liquid )

vacuum cleaning keep it up maintain it that gets so many % of them and inside the vacuum after few days they are mostly toast

flea smoke bombs

chemicals like flea fog smoke spray should really be used as a last means defence as its toxic and can linger around and if pets lick anything make become ill and sick


i have used all or any means available , expect for liquid helium , liquid nitrogen due to cost £ and the amount you get which needs to cover a wide battle floor ground area of the home
but like i mentioned anythong below 0c -10c -15c will terminate the fleas in their tracks within seconds ! which is of course what we want to see , they picked the wrong pet to suck blood off , fi ng bugger parasites they are

Co2 extinguisher -62c i tried but has problem with amount air it blows them around and only few % may get direct extreme -62c on them , toast ! its a bit impractical since really want it to put out electrical fires but there is a fire , a flea fire !

ice popsicles temperature 0c -32c
ice cubes or of hot weather summertime and sucking on ice popsicles and sense/see flea on your leg , just place the popsicle on top of the flea leave for 10/15sec and its toast !

grabbing the flea and getting them between the fingernails and crush it ! terminated !

if a vacuum or larger square like can be say attached to tube with extreme -c temperature placed over square area of the carpet one bit at time , i would dare say it would toast those fleas in their tracks ! its finding the cheapest simplistic of means to terminating the fleas !

other ways on a kitchen floor or laminated floor is shallow thin layer uniform of water and some mains electrical 120v-usa 240v-uk , toss the lead ( yeah sure fatally/dangerous lol ) but it will give them a sort of Zap ! , they'll never forget lol lmao

well think that is about it as buying these brands that cost this and that £ $ and yet its temperature that fleas mostly do not like
happy flea hunting as flea season is always open

Dichotomous Earth…
If using anti flea bugs or anti any insect bugs the Dichotomous Earth will kill all the insects even the good ones that are killing the fleas or bedbugs etc. That and Dichotomous Earth is supposed to be bad for the respiratory system.
 
fleas we all get them... !
errrrrr...
For near three decades, we've had two cats-as-pets, in our household, and we've never had to worry about fleas.
We also never had to post "Lost Cat" eulogy signs in our neighborhood utility-polls, either!
Keeping cats as indoor-only pets was about the best decision that had been made some 30 years ago...

I was recently chastised for front-paw declaws for those 2 indoor pets (Wally, Spooks) to prevent their destruction of our household.
Such trade-offs are available to all of pet-owners (e.g. Indoor pets, versus outdoor fleas);)!

I guess we all have choices and trade offs to make.
 
Dichotomous Earth

Misread this. I used diatomaceous earth. I wore a mask. Got good results. I used a product labeled for pest control. I haven't had fleas for two years now. Nor have I suffered any ill effects, to the best of my knowledge.

I just misspelled it - lol, but that’s what I’ve used as well with good results.
