Flea stuff for carpets

found a couple on daph this morning so all bedding is being washed, theyve had a cheap flea spray put on until i can buy the frontline on tuesday when i get paid, but what can i put on the carpets?

i have bought the spray thing from pets at home before now which is like £10 a bottle. just wondered what people use on here?

want to get it in check before we have a flea issue

When we found a couple on Louie ages ago, I bathed him (in tea tree), put drops on him, washed his stuff in the washer with a bit of flea shampoo and also washed the carpets with the wet vac and flea shampoo too..

Of course the sprays and powders are good, but it might take a couple of goes.. and my Mum needed/wanted her carpets cleaning too so it was the perfect excuse for her to get me to do it all

Flea spray from PAH. Works well for us.... Then a few hours later give the carpets a good hoover particularly around the skirting.

I use Indorex spray (for fleas and dust mites) and its really good, but I use it more to reduce dust mites in the home.

You can buy a can of Acclaim in Boots the chemist for about £13... stops fleas breeding for at least 6 months.
