Question:They had two big dogs, at least, in there, and I can't imagine how they stood living there with all those fleas. The house is full of old clothes and stuff, no carpets, but plenty of stuff to hold fleas, etc. It's awful. I was in there 10 minutes and walked out with fleas all over me.
Answers:
salt kills fleas better than most flea powders. they are attracted to it, then eat it and die, just like poison. other than that, bug-bombs made specifically for fleas and even hiring a professional.
if you have a vaccum (whether or not you have carpets) use it every day. it will help get rid of the eggs.
Other Answers:
Hire a professional or go and buy bug bombs for every room. Repeat in 2 weeks.
Bug bomb the house and use Sargents carpet flea powder, leave on as dirested and vac up.
Get heavy clothes on and spray d-con. Go in with a vacuum.
Failing that, hire an exterminator.
Yeah, professional or bug bombs. If there's any carpeting or even hardwood floors, buy flea spray and a flea collar for your vacuum cleaner bag. Vacuum everything, spray with the flea spray and set off bombs.
Use seven dust on the carpet, if you are not staying in it, also put a night light in with a cookie sheet and water with a bit of dish detergent. the fleas go to the light for warmth and pro-creation the jump into the water and viola death to all fleas in 7 - 10 days tops. me and my girl friend had a couple cats that got fleas while we were on vacation and this worked really good
Hello, Well first you need to spray yourself with an insect repellant and go in and take out all old clothes anything they are probably in. Get flea bombs from the store if they are that bad one per room should do it. Set them off and leave for the day come back the next day and vacuum around everywhere, put a flea collar in the vacuum bag in case any ones survived or there are eggs left. Then clean up everything and they should be gone but if they have a yard you will have to spray that too, otherwise they will come right back in your your clothes. Hope that helps.
Bug bombs, and the kind of tick preventer you spray on your cloths should keep the fleas off you too.

You should get a flea bomb it helps get all the fleas out or flea spray.
Cover or spray yourself real good get rid of any matresses because if you use store bought bombs it will not penatrait a matress. After you bomb the house i would get rid of all the old clothes and stuff you do not want or need and repeat the bombing
Please call an exterminator- over the counter bombs only kill the topical fleas it does not kill the eggs in the carpets and they can stay dormant for up to 8 months. After the treatment is done be sure to vacuum daily it will stimulate the eggs to hatch and the residual in the chemicals they use will kill off the new fleas.
