Would you use this setting for this situation? And in the sanitary cycle does that water really get that much hotter?

Dr. says if there are fleas in the bed, just to vacuum it. They should have died off from the med I put on the dog. Grouse!
It has been taking me 2 days so far and I am not finished yet doing everything.
Do you think I am over washing my bedding and clothing?
thank you friends!

To vacuum, drop some flea powder on the floor, vacuum it up to make a death trap of the bag, then vacuum VERY thoroughly, especially cracks and crevices in furniture, baseboards, etc.

Flea larvae eat dead organic matter - dandruff, hair, etc, so anywhere you have rugs, upholstery and soft stuff you need to vacuum.

Then IMMEDIATELY remove the bag, seal it into a plastic trash bag and discard it.

We haven't had a flea infestation in years. I just do this once a year as a preventative measure (usually in the spring) and we have no fleas in our house. Also, you might start treating your lawn for fleas as that is how they get on your animals and into the house.

Another thing, try getting some brewers yeast and put about a tablespoon in their food each morning. The fleas hate the smell of it and it is just good vitamins for your animals. I don't buy advantage or anything else for my pets. Just by doing those 2 things we have a flea free home.

We have neighbors whose very nice home was flea-infested (including the basement) when they moved in; the former owners had owned many cats. They used boric acid as you described to kill the fleas, larva, and eggs, and it was effective. They did have to do it at least twice because the infestation was so severe. They do not have pets, so they didn't have to worry about causing harm to animals.
