This things came this Sunday by what means I know not and they won’t leave. I wish they’d go infest a cat but they prefer my apartment. Is there any way to get rid of these things without calling an exterminator (I haven’t much money)?
First of all vacuum very very well. Then take the vacuum outside, because the little bastards climb out of the vacuum.
Next is Borax powder. Sprinkle this quite liberally over your carpet. The great thing about Borax is it won’t hurt cats and dogs but it really stops fleas and cockroaches. Take the fully defleaed vacuum and get up the Borax. Do this every 3 days for about 3 weeks. This will get the eggs.
Hope this helps
Last summer, we had a flea infestation from our cat. I went to Wal-Mart (sorry, guys, around these parts, there ain’t no other choice), and bought the following: flea spray for my cat (she was not a happy camper), a flea collar for my cat, and some flea powder for my house. It’s like that powdered carpet freshener that you sprinkle down and then vacuum up (but a little more costly). I don’t know if I just got lucky, or what, but the combination of those three things (total cost about $25.00) cleared up the infestation.
Oh, yeah, I treated my furniture with the powder, too.
Please excuse all the parentheses in the above post (I got them at a really good clearance sale, and now I’m trying to use them all up before they go bad 
)
