Killing Fleas

Postby jdbuckshot » Thu Jun 09, 2016 12:16 pm

When I first moved to my new place in March I didn't have a great dog kennel.

so my lab stayed in the barn stall.

he now has a nice covered concrete kennel off the side of my shop.

my barn has fleas in it everywhere. I sprayed the entire barn yesterday with Bifenthrin (WISDOM TC)

I sprayed about 4' up the walls, saturated the wood chip stall floors, and removed the outer board and sprayed the crawl space under the tack room.

I walked through the barn today and still had some fleas jumping on me.

this is supposed to be the go to pesticide as far as over the counter.

I came back today and really poured the chemical in that stall my dog was in - that was where they seemed to jump on me the most.

What else can be done? how long will it take to kill them ??

We use ortho, the red bag granulars. It works perfect for Flea and ticks. Our back yard backs up to a big creek also. Usually 1-2 treatments in a month and it's all good!
