By Katrina Wheeler


If your animals go outside then you are probably going to get fleas. You don't have to worry about it because you can learn how to get rid of fleas in carpet. Whenever your animals go outside they will bring fleas in and they will start to get very comfortable inside your furniture and carpets.

The worst place to get rid of a flea is in your carpets because this is the hardest place to clean them out of. They love your carpet because they can get comfortable and lay eggs. Flea eggs are sticky and just about impossible to get out of your rugs. It can be a pain to get rid of these pest but it is possible.

Hot soapy water is a great way to get them out. If you have a small rug then you can run it through a washing machine set on hot. The soap and the hot water will most likely kill them. You can even run it through a second time to be sure you killed them all. It's important to use hot water when washing your rugs and carpets.

Some carpets are too large to put in a washing machine, so you will need to use a high suction power vacuum. You will want to throw out the stuff you have vacuumed up once you are done. It may even be a good idea to wrap the content in a bag maybe even two bags just to be sure they are dead.

Another idea would be to hire someone to come in and professionally steam clean all of your carpets. The steam kills them all. Not everyone can afford to hire professionals to come into their homes and steam clean their floors. If you can't afford a professional you can do it on your own just use insecticidal soap. Just wash your rugs and carpets with the soap and your flea problem is gone.

After they are gone you need to take your pet to his vet and put them on flea pills. Many of these flea pills aren't expensive and can last up to three months or more. It may be a good idea to still vacuum often just to make sure you don't get over taken by them again. If the larva and eggs are left behind then you have the same problem you did before.

You should be able to keep them out of your carpets if you use a flea control from your vet and vacuum often. Be sure that when you are vacuuming you get under all the furniture and the places your pets like to lay the most. You could buy over the counter flea killers but beware that they are harmful to kids and contain chemicals that are dangerous.

So just because your pet has fleas does not mean you have to get rid of them, you just need to learn new ways of how to get rid of fleas in carpet and furniture. You don't have to get rid of your pet just the pest that they bring into your house.
