You don't need the light. I use flat Styrofoam plates with the diluted dish detergent in four or five areas. Use smelly detergent so your dog won't drink it or put it under a chair. Vacuum daily for three days.

@@maryb5875 it won’t hurt your cats or other pets but if you’re still worried just keep them locked in a separate room or carry cage while you do this process. Spread everything thick, and spread it EVERYWHERE!!! On carpets, on the sofas, on everything and let it sit for a couple hours or all day & night if possible. The longer the better because the fleas will be jumping around and drying up also the eggs they laid will dehydrate and be gone. Try it out and let us know how it worked!

Multiple approaches work..make sure you vacuum sweep frequently. Also buy the 2 cheapest essential oils Rosemary and Eucalyptus if you have dogs eucalyptus is fine but not for cats. Dilute them in coconut oil and rub them in your dog paws and neck, flease just falling out. I Also put peppermint which was a bad idea on another dog and it was shaking and cold I guess that's good if you're in Texas or somewhere hot. The fleas staying off that dog also and wouldn't go anywhere near him the dog ended up not getting infested. Cinnamon and clove oils burn so you don't want to use those. also shave your dog. The life flea cycle and the eggs is a long process so you've got to attack the problem from multiple angles. Heating in the dryer is the only approach that really works for eggs and fleas but it's hard to throw your carpet in the dryer

I'm gunna try that right now

Also wash clothes with regular washingpowder and salt in washing the mashine, then tumble dry the clothes with half a deciliter 24% white vinegar and after you shower put coconut oil on your body and hair .. also your pets
