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

You should take this to the special services.

You need to follow a specific treatment plan. New fleas hatch from eggs every 10 days. That's why you need to treat the area every 10 days, repeating the process for a couple of cycles.

Wash all curtains and rags, as fleas can nest there too. Treat upholstered furniture, baseboards, and all corners with the solution.

We also had flea problems (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 apartment.

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

I bought a parasite control solution for premises at the veterinary clinic. It's used to treat pigsties and other cattle barns. I diluted it according to the instructions and sprayed everything, including furniture (especially the undersides of chairs and sofas—I actually flipped them over to spray), carpets, floors, baseboards, and the lower parts of the walls. It worked after the first application.

I'll share my experience to help. I tried everything to get rid of fleas in my apartment—it was like living in a nightmare. They were tiny, black, multiplied at lightning speed, and their bites were 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 filed a request with the housing office to have the basement disinfected and deratted since my apartment is on the first floor, right above it. 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 stores. I treated all the floors throughout the apartment and the carpets. It really works. It's been four days, and there are no more fleas. I'll re-treat in a week for peace of mind. I recommend it!

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

What's the name of this product, please tell me?

I deeply sympathize with everyone facing this problem! I went through it myself. Bleach, baking soda, salt, dichlorvos, powders, even kerosene—I washed the floor with it all! I don't know which one helped, as I alternated between all the remedies. At first, I mopped the floor morning and evening with a solution of kerosene, salt, and baking soda. They live on the walls and baseboards, so I thoroughly washed all the corners, then sprayed dichlorvos up to two meters from the floor—they don't jump higher than that. They would hide, acting drunk but not dying. I bought Butox in ampules, but it was useless. I replaced the dichlorvos with a spray bottle filled with a kerosene solution, applying it the same way—up to two meters high on walls and corners. In my opinion, the powder helped the most; it's called Fast Double, and I sprinkled it along all the baseboards. After four months of fighting, they disappeared—knock on wood! Almost a year has passed, and I remember it like a bad dream. Good luck to everyone 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 handled them this way, as they can jump from anywhere on their feet!

Fleas appeared in our apartment in September, and our neighbor across the hall had them in August. We're also on the first floor. We've tried spraying everything. Dichlorvos helps temporarily, and so does Raid. I bought Deltsid from the vet pharmacy and we're spraying it according to the instructions—one ampule per 1.5 liters of water. There are 5 ampules in a box. We pour it every day and have already used 10 boxes. We've called pest control twice, and they sprayed everywhere. Once, they even sprayed the basement. I've ironed and steamed all the laundry. I'm at my wit's end. Nothing helps. They keep coming from somewhere, that's it. What should I do?

We have the same problem. We've called exterminators 3 times and the sanitation service twice for treatments, we also treat ourselves. From Cyfoks, which should theoretically work, they just go crazy and bite aggressively. We bought products from the pet store, they don't help. They bite everyone in groups, both day and night. We need something strong. They don't die from cypermethrin, and these extermination services are just money laundering, the fogging is just for show. We're left to treat 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, and it's no use. Our housing management hasn't treated the basement. We live on the first floor. I filed a complaint with the state housing inspection, but so far, no results.

A complaint to the housing and utilities department, or better yet, directly 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 show up, 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 a commission to come and inspect, and file a lawsuit for the incompetence of the sanitary service. Then they'll come and exterminate properly. It's their job, and they'll do it well—through the court.

We have the same problem too! This herd is problem number 1 for me. They don't give any peace day or night. Dichlorvos only helped for a while. We thought they'd died after it. But no!! Two days later again, and with even more force! I also don't know what to do anymore. Tried Raptor fogger, and spread wormwood everywhere, and dried everything in the sun, washed everything.
Now we bought Entomozan ampules. Will try them. But after reading reviews, I feel like giving up...

I've been fighting for 3 years. Nothing helps. I wish winter would come sooner.

In winter, there are fewer of them, or none at all. Freeze the house, gentlemen. But come spring—get ready. They'll be back.

"I'm also suffering, nothing helps. It's good that no one is living in the apartment for now. First floor, I called Sam, they treated the basement. They advised diluting Carbophos and thoroughly drenching the floor so it seeps under the flooring—I have wooden floorboards. So I'm looking for the product, will give it a try."

I don't understand why the pest control only treated the basement? What about the apartment? Naturally, they should spray in the apartment too. We called the company Dezfox at our workplace; they have offices in different cities. They treated both the basement (yes, we're on the first floor) and the office. The fleas disappeared immediately.

They won't help

Animals need to be treated, so every year we buy Dana Ultra products—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 apartment either.

I don't have any pets, but I've been fighting fleas in my apartment for half a year already.
And I even called exterminators - didn't see them for a week, then they started jumping around again.

I want to share my experience with treating parasites. It works 100% of the time. 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 odor at all). We do this for about 3 weeks. Usually, there's no need to repeat. All parasites disappear after the first course. You can also use a collar, but for me, drops are simpler and better.

However, I also found out that you can wash the cat's area with the same shampoo; some recommend a spray, but washing is more reliable.

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

How did you get rid of them? I have 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 medication (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 disgusting nuisance, and there's probably nothing that can get rid of them. When I was still a child, my father used to burn sulfur in the house. But afterward, there were no fleas. Bleach, dichlorvos, and other chemicals are useless. And folk remedies are just nonsense—I'd like to tear the mouths off those chatterboxes.

Where is sulfur sold?

I'll tell you about my battle with fleas. A year ago, in a typical scenario, our cat brought back these pests—black fleas—after the March festival. 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.

One day, as I sat thoughtfully rolling a paint roller wrapped in tape around my legs, my gaze fell on the windowsill. It hit me: these critters 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 just target the bottom third?

So, I bought greenhouse plastic, small nails with wide heads, and tape. I sent the family to my mother-in-law's, washed the cat, put on an anti-flea collar, and let him roam outside. Then, I started stretching the plastic 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 plastic lying on the floor so I could reach the window. To secure that part, I could lift it, roll it up, and tape it to keep it from unrolling, then prop a chair under it. Between cabinets and walls, and wall to wall, I also ran narrow strips of plastic at that height and taped them in place. I left an opening in front of the door to open and enter.

Once everything was set, I debated whether to dichlorvos the "greenhouse" myself or call pest control to the prepared battleground. Then I remembered my friend had an ozone generator he uses for disinfecting his basement and other things. I called him, asked to borrow it, went to pick it up, and he even gave me a gas mask and safety instructions. I set up the ozone generator on a higher chair between the floor and the plastic since ozone sinks downward, started it, set a timer for an hour, sealed the entrance, and checked into a hotel room for the duration of the procedure. After an hour, I...

In the room, it smelled of ozone, but the fog under the plastic sheet was too thin, so I just twisted the timer through the sheet for another hour. An hour later, when I peeked in with a gas mask on, it was exactly what was needed. Under the sheet, nothing was visible except a bluish haze. I waited another two hours, just waiting without turning anything on, and then went to the window, opened it, peeled the plastic off the windowsill, and aired it out for another two hours. Since the smell of ozone was still there, I had to open the front door to create a draft for ventilation. And then 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 faster than heating the whole room; if it creates a greenhouse effect, I'll make some vents. So that's what I did: I heated it up to 48 degrees, slipping the thermometer under the sheet, and in the other rooms, it worked faster. After I finished with 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 kill him—seems like 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 carry diseases. That's why we got Dana Ultra drops – they're much clearer in terms of application (including dosages), and they protect against both fleas and ticks.

Boom! You could have done it easier! Heat the apartment with a heat gun. If the home electrical system can't handle an electric heat gun, then use a gas one, heat the air in the room to 50°C or as needed, since 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 also had to deal with them. It was a nightmare coming from the basement. They were jumping on our feet near the entrance. They attacked the entire apartment. I bought something called Geltcid I think. I diluted it, treated everything, rewashed, steamed all the clothes. A few days later 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 around like crazy, and then they gradually started disappearing. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. It was horrible. Today, a year later, I saw a flea on my leg again... Probably brought it in from outside. Now I'm thinking, hello nightmare! Looks like I'll have to deal with them again. If you know any good products, please write, it would be helpful. Maybe there's something stronger than Geltcid?

Why do you need sulfur when sulfur bombs are sold?

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

Try Korean products, they are harmless but very effective!

Try washing the floors with very hot water, and treat your items with steam.

Steaming is useless! I crawled around the carpet with a steam iron for half a day - useless! Salt, baking soda - useless. I called the sanitation service, they treated it. We had three years without them and now we're at war again! Psychosis again! I heard Gett Express is recommended, but I haven't bought it yet.

As mentioned above about binakar - I agree. Our cat developed an allergy to it. Ended up with a lot of wasted nerves for very questionable savings. In my opinion, it's not worth it.

Hello!
Were you able to get rid of them? And how?
We haven't been able to get rid of them for almost a year now. No pets, we already threw out the sofa, removed the flooring and wallpaper. We've called professional exterminators many times, treated the place ourselves, even used fire. It seems to help for a short time.
Today I sprayed again to finish them off for sure, it seemed like there were almost none left, and they went crazy.
Although 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.

Do you remember the name?

Animals must be treated, no question. But it's crucial to choose a proven and high-quality product. Someone mentioned earlier that BinaKar products are quite questionable. I can't help but agree; in my opinion, it's not worth buying.

This method worked for us: at the vet clinic, we got Butox - 1 ampoule per half-bucket or 2 ampoules per full bucket, and washed all the floors and baseboards with it. Then, 2 ampoules of Butox per bucket, fill an empty spray bottle, and spray almost up to the ceiling on all walls, move all cabinets and sofas to wash and spray behind them, mattresses, behind kitchen cabinets and the refrigerator, in the hallway, in the bathroom - everywhere! Then, close the windows and leave the apartment for 4-6 hours. When you return, air it out for an hour without washing anything, neither floors nor walls - for 3 days!!! On the following days, every other day, wash only the floors and baseboards with Butox - 1 ampoule per bucket of water. Also, about 3 days later, I bought A-Par from the pharmacy, a very strong remedy for pests like bedbugs, fleas, etc. It comes in a spray bottle like Dichlorvos, and I treated all mattresses on both sides, all sofas and armchairs from all sides - don't skimp, you can get 2 A-Pars for around 1000. Sprayed it in every closet on all coats and jackets, on every shelf with items, 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 the day of A-Par, it's better to have the kids 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 bed. Then, for 20 days, wash the floors every other day with diluted Butox. You'll feel 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, then switch to washing floors with anti-flea shampoo for animals! And wash the floors with this shampoo every one to two days for 2 months, that's all!!! After this treatment, I've had no cockroaches or fleas for 3 years. Anything that doesn't get into the house, I find dead later. I think it's good to do prevention just in case, at least wash the floors with Butox))) Good luck and victory to everyone in the fight!

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

Butox*50
Bought a liter bottle from an online store, diluted 100g in 3 liters of water, sprayed it on the walls and floors with a sprayer, all the fleas died!

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