Flea treatments?

[MrsKkoolaid]

No, our fish do not have fleas....

But our furry animals do.

We really need to treat the house as well as the animals.

Can we use foggers? If so, how do you suggest we pretect our tanks?
Would a flea powder carpet treatment be safer?

TIA

Wash everything that can be washed at the highest temp possible (clothing, bedding) then vacume everything that you couldn't wash (litteraly everything). I had a friend in high school that had tons of cats and also tons of fleas. The bug bombs do work in combination with everything else, but i dont think i would do one with fish in the house.

I have bug bombed a house with tanks in it, you disconnect any air pumps and unplug everything then cover th tank and kilter with plastic sheeting and tape it well. even so I was very nervous and worried that even if the bomb did not kill fish maybe the fall in O2 would. Luckily everything survived, I would not do it again.

first treat ur pets with advantage or something. I have used borox in my carpet. Sprinkle borox in the carpet and leave it for a few days. It will kill the fleas and then u vacuum it all up. Instructions should be on internet or box of borox. U can buy it at grocery store.

fish do have fleas, but they are called anchor worms

i think advantage alone will do it
