No, they didn't treat the bed.... I imagine that if you wash all your bedlinen, blankets and coverlets before they come and put them on the bed that some of the powder they use will "settle" onto the top of the bed and help..... with carpeting, they used this machine to pound the powder into the carpet to the matting on the back. You could not vaccuum for a week after that - giving the powder more time to get deeper into the carpet. If you shampooed or steam cleaned your carpets, the warranty was voided.

I have no idea if they know how to treat for wood floors....you could certainly call and ask though.... fleas don't live in the wood so that shouldn't be an issue.... also ask if they will just come out and treat your fabric furniture....they must have had these questions before. I would also invest in some Capstar (available at the Vet's office and some pet stores - make sure you do NOT use any "off" brand such as Hartz, Bio-Spot, etc.)unless anyone has heard anything bad about it......I've never had any problems and like I said - the vet sells it.

Update: I tried the Revolution, and vacuuming/laundering like crazy, but still fleas. So, I 've now called fleabusters and they are coming to apply it on the 15th (turns out they can apply it to wood floors and do that often).

Thanks Margaret and Michelle for the fleabusters info!

Hm....didn't know Fleabusters could treat hardwood flooring. I'd be interested to know how they do that. Can you let me know after they are done? I'm just really curious. Thanks in advance.

I know the stuff they use is not toxic. I used them for about 5 years down in Florida. In fact, the stuff they put down lasted longer than a year in my carpets because I didn't shampoo or steam clean (the warranty is void if you do that anyway). If you have an empty cool whip plastic container type thing at home - you can ask them to give you some "extra" in case you need to re-touch an area (or shove it in your couch or chairs - which they will do anyway I believe) after they have gone.

The house (at least with carpeting) was quite "dusty" from the stuff flying around in the air after it was put down - it took about a15 minutes for it to settle completely. Make sure you have all your dishes and stuff put away before they come in or wash them before using them.

When they do it on a carpet they use a machine that pounds it down to the jute backing. That's why it's in the air.

I had heard someplace if you vacuum with a fleaq collar inside the bag, it should help. Or if you sprinkle borax on your carpeting and leave it there for about 10-15 min. that also gets rid of the fleas.

I think Borax is what Fleabusters uses.... In case it's NOT, I've heard that Borax works too. You can find it in the laundry soap aisle at the grocerie store. Never heard of the flea collar inside the vacuum though.... I've always put moth balls in so the room doesn't get that nasty vacuum cleaner- doggy smell. Works great if you don't mind the smell of the moth balls. Vacuum with the windows open for your pets though (to help dissipate the moth ball smell) if you try it.

Borax really does work because I had did that when I was pregnant with my son. My mother in-law says the flea collar in the vacuum bag really works. I have been fortunate enough to not have any fleas in years, but our vacuum is also bagless. And I don't think it will work the same.

I have a bagless vacuum now too.... I'm not sure how that would work either. Thankfully, I haven't had fleas since we moved here (Sept 04) and I didn't have any in Florida thanks to Fleabusters.
