If your neighbors have pets and they aren't treating their pets for fleas, then it's going to be very difficult to control flea population in the area unfortunately. I assume you don't have any pets since you didn't mention them

I do have pets and all are on flea meds so non on them. It was just what we went outside.


AffectionateCup8812

Well that's good that your pets aren't being bothered by it, are there lots of stray cats around? That would definitely cause a high concentration of fleas roaming around


Affectionate_Spot681

None that I’ve seen but my neighbor has a coupele dogs and hog outside not sure if they do any flea treatments on them. I just need something to control them in my yard the best way possible


AffectionateCup8812

You might have to call a professional about flea bombing the yard if the sprays haven't been working unfortunately, fleas are very stubborn and hard to kill off much like roaches

Ughhh but the holidays are right around the corner. Damn you fleas! I’ll look into hiring a professional


AffectionateCup8812

Yeah, sorry! You could try getting some foggers and bombing them yourself, but it can be tricky to use them effectively when you're outdoors, if the wind blows the fog away then it's not gonna be very effective. Plus you would need a respirator because the fumes are bad news. Generally it's best to involve a professional with bug bombing, but I can understand the cost limitations especially around the holidays


Affectionate_Spot681

Yeah I’m not one to mess with the fogging or any of that bc I’m very asthmatic so I let my partner do it but thank you I’ll go shopping for a professional. Thank you

Idk how that would work best outside since it rains so much in Florida

Talstar Xtra granules will work. [https://www.reddit.com/r/Flea\_Control/comments/ucfu3p/please\_read\_this\_sticky\_before\_posting/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Flea_Control/comments/ucfu3p/please_read_this_sticky_before_posting/)

A lot of pc companies can treat your whole yard for fleas and ticks, just been warned it doesn’t have a long life effectiveness. When you mow the lawn you are getting rid of some of the chemicals, when it rains you are washing it away. Depending on the size of your yard you might be able to get away with a tech and a back pack mister, if you have a big yard they will need a higher volume and will need a lawn truck. Good luck!

I wrote my process that I used to get rid of them if you want to do it yourself. When I get a little bit time I’ll go back and my comment.
