We can't get rid of the fleas in our flat.

You need to go to the special services for that.

You need to follow the treatment plan. New fleas hatch from eggs after 10 days. Therefore, you must treat every 10 days and complete a couple of cycles.
Wash all curtains and rags, as fleas can nest there too. Treat the soft furniture, skirting boards, and all corners with the product.
We also had issues with fleas (though not as severe as yours). We only managed to get rid of them in November when the frost set in. We put all our belongings out in the cold and treated the flat.

Go to any pet shop and ask for a flea treatment product.
They'll give you a capsule, dilute it with water, and spray it on.
Repeat the process after a certain number of days.
That's how we got rid of them quickly. Our cat brought them in from the street, and they loved the carpet...

I bought a treatment for disinfecting premises against parasites at the veterinary clinic. It's used for pigsties and other cattle sheds. I diluted it according to the instructions and sprayed everything, including the furniture (especially the undersides of chairs and sofas—I actually turned them over and sprayed), carpets, floors, skirting boards, and the lower parts of the walls. It worked after the first application.

I'll share my experience to help. I've tried everything to get rid of fleas in the flat – it was like living in a nightmare. They're tiny, black, breed at lightning speed, and their bites are painful. I used Butox (in ampoules), DET aerosols, Buntox sprays, powders – nothing worked. I was even considering calling the pest control service. I put a Foresto collar by Bayer on my cat. I submitted a request to the housing office to carry out disinsection and deratisation in the basement, as the flat is on the ground floor with a basement underneath. They did it the next day. For the house, I bought Sentry HOME and Carpet Spray, made in the USA. I ordered it online; it's sold in pet shops. I treated all the floors throughout the flat and the carpets. It really works. Four days have passed, and there are no fleas left. I'll treat it again in a week for peace of mind. I recommend it!

There are many good tips for getting rid of fleas in the apartment here: http://klopam-net.ru/bloxi/kak-izbavitsya-ot-blox-v-dome-bystro-v-domashnix-usloviyax.html

Veronica, how did it end up? Did it help? And how did you buy this Sentry HOME and Carpet Spray - I can't seem to find it for sale online anywhere.

What's this product called, please tell me?

My deepest sympathies to all who have encountered this problem! I've been through it myself. I tried everything: washing soda, salt, dichlorvos, powders, even scrubbing the floor with kerosene! I don't know which of these helped, as I alternated all the remedies. Initially, I washed the floor morning and evening with a solution of kerosene, salt, and soda. They live on the walls and skirting boards, so I thoroughly cleaned all the corners, then sprayed dichlorvos up to two metres from the floor—they don't jump higher than that. They hid, acting as if drunk but not dying. I bought Butox in ampoules, but it was useless. I replaced the dichlorvos with a sprayer filled with a kerosene solution, applying it the same way up to two metres high on the walls and corners. In my opinion, the powder helped the most; it's called Fast Double, and I sprinkled it along all the skirting boards. After four months of fighting them, they disappeared—touch wood! It's been almost a year now, and I remember it like a bad dream. Good luck to all who are battling this; try everything!

Sorry, they don't jump up to two meters; that's too high for them. Up to a meter and a bit more. I've treated them this way, as they can jump off feet anywhere!

The fleas appeared in the flat in September, while my neighbour across the hall had them in August. We're also on the ground floor. We've tried spraying everything imaginable. Dichlorvos helps temporarily, as does Raid. I bought Delcid from the vet pharmacy and we're spraying it according to the instructions—one ampoule per 1.5 litres of water. There are 5 ampoules in a box, and we're using it every day. We've already gone through 10 boxes. We've called pest control twice, and they've sprayed everywhere. Once, they even sprayed the basement. I've ironed and steamed all the laundry. I'm at my wits' end. Nothing works. They keep coming from somewhere, that's all. What should I do?

We've got the same problem. We've called pest control 3 times and the sanitary service twice, they poisoned them, we poison them ourselves too. From Cyfoks which should supposedly help, they go mad and bite really hard. Bought products from the pet shop, doesn't help, they bite everyone in groups both day and night. Need something strong, they don't die from cypermethrin, and these services are just money laundering, the fogging is just for show. Left to poison them ourselves.

The same problem, lots and lots of tiny black fleas. They appeared in May. I've tried Dichlorvos, bleach, Dilcid, ironing clothes, washing curtains and bedding every day. I'm exhausted, but to no avail. Our housing management hasn't treated the basement. We live on the first floor. I've filed a complaint with the state housing inspection, but so far, no results.

Complaint to the Housing and Communal Services, or better yet, straight to the Sanitary and Epidemiological Station. And not just one complaint. Because during the summer heat, they need to be called periodically. They don't want to do a damn thing. If they don't come, then file a lawsuit—that's when they start doing something. And they should exterminate in such a way that the fleas die, not just spread dust around. If that doesn't help, call in a commission to come and inspect, and file a lawsuit about the incompetence of the Sanitary Service. Then they'll come and carry out the extermination properly. It's their job, which they'll perform effectively through the court.

We've got the same problem too! This herd is problem number 1 for me. They give no peace day or night. Dichlorvos only helped for a while. We thought they'd croaked after it. But no!! Two days later again, and with more force! I also don't know what to do anymore. Tried Raptor smoke bombs, and laid wormwood everywhere, and dried everything in the sun, washed everything.
Now we bought Entomozan ampoules. Will give it a try. But after reading the reviews, my hands drop...

Three years at war. Nothing helps. If only winter would come sooner.

In winter, there are fewer of them, or none at all. Keep your homes cool, gentlemen. But come spring – get ready. They will return.

"I'm suffering too, nothing seems to help. It's a good thing no one is living in the flat at the moment. It's on the first floor; I called Sam, and they treated the basement. They advised me to dilute Carbophos and thoroughly drench the floor so it seeps under the floor covering—I have floorboards. So I'm looking for the product and will give it a try."

I don't understand why the sanitary service only treated the basement? What about the apartment? Naturally, they should spray in the apartment as well. When we called the company Dezfoks at our workplace, they have offices in various cities. They treated both the basement (yes, we're on the ground floor) and the office. The fleas disappeared immediately.

They won't help

Animals need to be treated; we buy Dana Ultra products every year - they have a spray, a collar, and drops, and we use the latter. We've never had any problems, and if the cat doesn't have fleas, then there are none jumping around in the flat either.

I don't have any pets, but I've been battling fleas in my flat for half a year now.
I even called pest control - didn't see them for a week, then they started jumping around again.

I'd like to share my experience in treating parasites. It works in 100 percent of cases. Initially, I use shampoo (I use Beaphar), after washing, I dry and comb with a fine-toothed comb, and after drying, I apply drops from the same brand (unlike others, they have no strong odour at all). We continue this for about 3 weeks. Usually, there's no need to repeat the process. All parasites disappear after the first course. You can also use a collar, but in my opinion, drops are simpler and better.

However, I also found out that the same shampoo can be used to wash the cat's bedding; some recommend a spray, but washing is more reliable.

There's a chance these pests are living in the ventilation. Or perhaps they're merrily hopping over from the neighbours to visit you. In any case, the pest control must continue. And don't forget about treating the cat - its fur could become their new home... The Ultra collar reliably protects against parasites, tested on our cat)

how did you get rid of them? I've got the same problem, nothing helps.

Spring and summer bring an increased risk of parasites. That's why we are very careful about treating our pets – we have a cat and a tomcat, one quite small and the other a mini-elephant, yet the vet prescribed the same product (Binacar) in the same dosage. It seems like protection is necessary, but I'm worried about overdosing one and underprotecting the other...

Fleas are such a vile nuisance, and I suppose there's nothing that can get rid of them. When I was still a child, my father used to burn sulphur in the house. But afterwards, there were no fleas. Bleach, dichlorvos, and other chemicals are useless. And folk remedies are just nonsense; I'd tear the mouths off those chatterboxes.

Where is sulphur sold?

I'll tell you about my battle with fleas. A year ago, in a common scenario, our cat brought back these pests—black fleas—after the March festivities. For some reason, they only bit me and the cat, leaving my wife and child alone. I tried everything: various poisons, even called the pest control twice. They used their super disinfectant, supposedly 100% effective, and sprayed fog, plus I followed internet advice. Then one day, as I sat thoughtfully rolling a paint roller wrapped with tape around my legs, my gaze fell on the windowsill. It struck me: these creatures live near the floor, in the lower parts of furniture! Yes, I'd seen them jump up to one and a half meters high on the walls, but why poison the entire room when you can target just the bottom third? So, I bought greenhouse film, small nails with wide heads, and tape. Sent the family to my mother-in-law's, washed the cat, put on an anti-flea collar, and set him free outside. Then, I started stretching the film across the entire room at the level of the windowsill, sofa backs, chairs, and tables. I attached it to the walls with nails and construction tape, but in the middle of the room, I left the film lying on the floor so I could reach the window. To access that area, I could lift it, roll it up, and secure it with a piece of tape to prevent unrolling, then place a chair there. Between cabinets and walls, and wall to wall, I also ran narrow strips of film at that height and fixed them with tape, leaving space in front of the door to open and enter. Once everything was ready, I debated whether to dichlorvos the greenhouse myself or call pest control to the prepared battleground. Then I remembered my friend has an ozone generator for disinfecting his basement and other things. I called him, asked to borrow the ozonator, went to pick it up, and he even gave me a gas mask and briefed me on safety measures. I set up the ozonator on a higher chair between the floor and the film since ozone sinks, started it, set the timer for an hour, sealed the entrance, and left for a hotel, booking a room there during the procedure. An hour later, I...

In the room, there was a smell of ozone, but the mist under the plastic sheet was rather thin, so I simply adjusted the timer through the sheet for another hour. An hour later, when I peeked in wearing a gas mask, it was exactly what was needed. Under the sheet, nothing was visible except for a bluish hue. I waited another two hours, just waiting without turning anything on, then went to the window, opened it, peeled the plastic sheet off the windowsill, and aired the room for another two hours. Since the smell of ozone still lingered, I had to open the front doors to create a draft for ventilation. And that's when I saw the heater—we have two small ones with fans—and thought, what if I warm up the space under the plastic sheet? It would be quicker than heating the whole room; if there's a greenhouse effect, I'll make some vents. So that's what I did: I warmed it up to 48 degrees, slipping the thermometer under the sheet in the remaining rooms, and it worked faster. After finishing the heating, I vacuumed and saw many swollen and burst flea eggs. There were no more fleas, and I promised the whiskered one that if such nonsense happens again, I'll either neuter him or maybe even kill him—seems he understood.

We were also offered Binacar at the vet pharmacy and these points confused us too... Plus, in my opinion, protection should include ticks, not just fleas. All bloodsuckers are dangerous and spread diseases. That's why we got Dana Ultra drops – they're much clearer in application (including dosages) and protect against both fleas and ticks.

Brilliant! You could have done it more simply! Heat the flat with a heat gun. If the home electrical system can't handle an electric heat gun, then use a gas one, warm the air in the room to 50°C or as needed, as it seems that after 50°C, fleas die within 3 minutes.

What fleas are afraid of: https://felisov.ru/blohi/i-moroz.html

Last year I was also poisoning them. It was a nightmare from the basement. Near the entrance they were jumping on our feet. Attacked the whole flat. Bought something called Geltcid I think. Diluted it, treated everything, rewashed, steamed our things. After a few days everything was back to the same pattern. And I want to say it helped. But before they died, after treatment they became very aggressive, biting, jumping like mad, and then gradually started disappearing. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. It was horrible. Today, a year later, I saw a flea on my leg again... Must have brought it in from outside. Now I'm thinking, hello nightmare! Looks like I'll have to poison them again. If you know any good products write, it would be helpful. Maybe there's something stronger than Geltcid?

Why bother with sulphur when you can get sulphur smoke bombs?

Daria, I don't support this medication either. When it comes to safety, you definitely shouldn't cut corners. We've been using Dana Ultra products for our furry friends' protection for many years now. No problems))

Try Korean skincare products, they're gentle yet highly effective!

Try washing the floor with very hot water, and treat your belongings with steam.

Steaming is useless! I spent half a day crawling on the carpet with a steam iron - useless! Salt, baking soda - useless. I called the sanitation service, they treated it. Three years without them and here we are at war again! Psychosis again! Apparently Gett Express is recommended, but I haven't bought it yet.

As mentioned above regarding binakar, I agree. Our cat developed an allergy to it. In the end, it resulted in a lot of wasted nerves for a very questionable saving. In my opinion, it's not worth it.

Hello!
Were you able to get rid of them? And how?
We've been trying to get rid of them for almost a year now. No pets, we've already thrown out the sofa, taken up the flooring and removed the wallpaper. We've called professional disinfectors many times, treated the place ourselves, even tried using fire. Seems to help for a short while.
Today I sprayed again to finish them off for sure, thought there were almost none left, and they went absolutely mental.
Though before this we hadn't had any bites for over a week.

What's the product called?

That's why we've been buying Dana Ultra drops for our cat for many years. Never had any problems with usage/tolerance, nor with parasites.

Don't remember the name?

Animals must be treated, of course. However, it's crucial to choose a proven and high-quality product. It was mentioned earlier that BINACAR products are quite questionable. I can't help but agree; in my opinion, it's not worth purchasing.

This method worked for us: at the vet's, Butox – one ampoule per half-bucket or two ampoules per bucket, and wash all the floors and skirting boards with it. Then, two ampoules of Butox per bucket, fill an empty spray bottle with it, and spray almost up to the ceiling on all walls. Move all wardrobes and sofas, wash and spray everything there, including mattresses. Behind kitchen cabinets and the fridge, in the hallway, in the bathroom – everywhere! Then, close the windows and leave the flat for 4–6 hours. When you return, air it out for an hour without washing anything – neither floors nor walls – for three days!!! On the following days, every other day, wash only the floors and skirting boards with Butox – one ampoule per bucket of water. Also, about three days later, I bought A-Par from the pharmacy, a very strong remedy for pests – bedbugs, fleas, etc. It comes in a spray bottle like Dichlorvos, and I treated all mattresses on both sides, all sofas and armchairs from every angle – don't skimp, you can get two A-Pars for around 1,000. Spray it in every wardrobe, on all coats and jackets, on every shelf with clothes, and all pillows and blankets, and the bedding you're currently sleeping on – treat it like with Dichlorvos. It's very smelly; close the windows and leave for 4 hours. On the first day of Butox treatment and on A-Par day, it's best to have the children stay with relatives or book a hotel, or stay out until evening. In the evening, come back, air everything out well, and sleep right in the A-Par-treated bedding. Then, for the next 20 days, wash the floors every other day with diluted Butox. You'll feel the relief in the first few days)) No one will bite you! Calm down, drink chamomile or something soothing because it's a big stress. After 20 days of washing floors with Butox, make sure to ventilate the room. After 20 days, switch to washing floors with anti-flea shampoo for animals! And wash the floors with this shampoo every one to two days for two months, that's all!!! After this treatment, I've had no cockroaches or fleas for three years. Anything that doesn't get into the house, I find dead later. I think it's worth doing a preventative treatment just in case, even if it's just washing the floors with Butox))) Good luck and victory to everyone in the fight

And carpets also treat with Butox from a spray bottle, and then after 3 days with A-Par!)) Good luck!))

Butox*50
Bought a litre bottle from an online shop, diluted 100g in 3 litres of water, sprayed it on the walls and floors with a sprayer, all the fleas snuffed it!

How dreadful. At worst, we've only ever had fleas on the cat. Actually, I've heard that if fleas are already hopping around the house, you can use the same drops as for the cat. There's a wide selection in veterinary pharmacies, though I wouldn't recommend Binacar, as it's toxic and didn't help when we were treating the cat for fleas back in the day.
