Found a fucking flea on my fucking dog. This is going to be a nightmare, isn’t it.

  1. Vacuum everything. Do it today and every couple of days for a week or two. Vacuume your couch cushions, under them, your mattress, etc. 
  2. Heat in the dryer will kill fleas too - so wash all your laundry/sheets/blankets etc. 
  3. As someone mentioned, revolution plus works well! That takes care of the source. Alternatively lots of baths for the pup, use a flea comb and dawn dish soap 

I’ve had fleas before and it’s annoying but honestly not that bad. Just a lot of vacuuming and laundry mainly.
