you need to go to the vet and get a spray for the house. Also vacuum floors mattresses and anything Indie goes on and wash all bedding.

Think the house spray is called Indorex ?
You need to spray everywhere and clean all her bedding and soft furnishings etc to prevent reinfestation

There are several Acclaim comes to mind but make sure that it kills the eggs and grubs as well at the adult fleas. You will need to take the dogs and any other animals out for a while after you have done it, including the children. If you treat the house well you don't have to worry about the dogs and cats as contra to believe fleas do not live on dogs just hop on for dinner. Talking of cats if you have one then that will need treating as well.

Sounds like a flea allergy. If a dog is allergic to fleas it takes only one bite for them to react and the area affected can be very sore and uncomfortable.

I saw something on TV the other day in regards to vacuuming up after a flea infestation (or I suppose anytime if you have pets). Just drop in a regular flea collar into the vacuum bag/canister and it should kill any fleas trapped in the vacuum. Just replace as per directions as if you were replacing a collar on your pet.

I have no carpeting but if I did I would try it. Has anyone ever heard of/tried this?
