Real Hardwoods - Real Flea Problems

www.ohbehavedogtraining.com

Before Frontline and Advantage, my house in Coconut Grove (Miami), Florida had the worst flea infestation.  My poor dogs were subjected to what I thought were an invincible species of fleas.  I would walk through the house only 30 minutes after what my exterminator said was a really powerful treatment and my socks would be covered in little black flea dots.

Before you burn your house down or spend more money on clueless exteminators, let me give you the key to the strength of these seemingly indestructible fleas.  I had hardwood floors.  I had original 1954 hardwood floors in old Miami.  This means the little bungalow house was a few steps up to get in the front door.. and a scary crawl space existed to harbor all types of evil under the house.

You could not pay me enough to go under the house.  Finally after an exhausting search, I found an exterminator that really knew his business.  He sealed off the crawlspace vents with wood and ran a hose through a hole in the wood.   While one guy sprayed the house, the other guy fogged the crawlspace.  Those evil little fleas that had been evading me by squeezing through the cracks of the floor to breath the air of the crawl space, no longer had their refuge.

Find a bug guy that really knows something about architecture as well as bugs!
