From my experience, flea bombs are safe. However, you can also use other alternative like vinegar and diatomacious earth.]]> Sat, 09 Sep 2017 00:23:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23564&PID=5906344&title=flea-bombs-safe#5906344 <![CDATA[flea bombs safe? : I use flea bomb one time and it&#039;s...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23564&PID=5905830&title=flea-bombs-safe#5905830 Author: KateMiddle224622

We've done this too as once fleas get into carpet etc it's hard to get rid of them. DD was older though and I think we did it as we were staying over night somewhere.

I do it, as long as you stay away for recommened time and cover everything up of baby's.]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2009 13:21:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23564&PID=582583&title=flea-bombs-safe#582583 <![CDATA[flea bombs safe? : i moved everything thing out of...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23564&PID=582384&title=flea-bombs-safe#582384 Author: TysMummy

I don't have a baby yet but we had the same problem. I'm highly allergic to insect bites. We used two raid flea bombs in our 3 bedroom house. One in the lounge/kitchen the other in the middle of the hall way where all the bedrooms are. We took all the plants out side and anything else that I didn't want to have to get contaminated. We left the house for 3 hours and returned there was no smell and we made sure that all the windows and doors where open. We vacuumed the house and then emptied the vacuum cleaner. In the mean time DH was de fleaing the cats. We have had no problems since. Its been a horrid year for flea's and we live near water as well.

Hope this helps.

I dont see why not, as long as you stay out of the house until its all settled and like you said just make sure all of Jaydens toys and mats etc are well away from where the bomb is going to be set then when you get home just wipe everything down and vacuume. Or maybe ring a place that does flea killing and stuff and see what they say and whether they have kid/baby safe products.

Personally I wouldn't, but then I'm not overly keen on anything like that anyway and wouldn't use them even without a baby in the house.

As they can't live on their hosts anymore, they can only live on the cats and dogs and not on you guys they will die out soon enough. All I would do is vacuum a lot especially the rug, and also they tend to hang at the edges of the carpet by the skirting boards (if you have carpets) and in sofas if they aren't leather.

We have fleas even though our cats and dog were de-flead with frontline just before christmas! and the dog got a new bed for christmas!

Myself and DH havent got any bite but Jayden has quite a few probably because hes on the floor (on a rug) all day! Ive moved the dogs bed away from where he plays and will re flea the cats when the 6 weeks is up but I dont want ayden being attacked anymore!

so - can you use flea bombs with babies? (I know you have to leave the house for a certain amount of time) but Im worried about the residue and what we cant see in the air etc, I would take all his toys and things that go in his mouth out of the house!

Does anyone have any other suggestions for getting rid of the horrid things? or recommend a good bomb brand?

thanks for any help! ]]> Thu, 08 Jan 2009 07:11:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23564&PID=581218&title=flea-bombs-safe#581218
