    My name is Dave and I travel with my dog Bella in a 1987 Class A Motorhome. My channel is about full time RV Living in an older RV while keeping the wheels rolling on a budget. I do the repairs, updates and upgrades myself. I’ve become my own RV Mechanic/Medic! I seek boondocking opportunities every chance I can and power the RV with 500 watts of solar and approximately 500 amp hours of batteries. RV Resorts are just not our style!

    The carpet in the van may be a big part of the persistent flea problem, imo. Pull it! Take care, Dave and Bella!✌️🌵

    When a exterminator comes to a home with chemicals to kill fles, most of that chemical is borax. Thats what I used on my carpet rubed it in let it set a week then swepted the carpet and put down more borax to get any new hatchlings . It worked , it was a cheap fix.

    Dave , I work in the pest Control industry and all you need for the fleas issue is one can of precor 2625. You need to stay out for 2 hours. Safe around pets

    You should pull the carpet, hot water wash the bedding then get them dead before adding anything back in. You can replace that carpet. Tell Bella I love her sweet little self! ❤

    Fleas are the worst, while living in the south I kept a pan of water under a night light, and daily spread salt on carpet and vacuumed, was told by an elderly lady to do that and was able to eventually got rid of them!! Oh the frustration those little buggers are! Also I would mix dawn dish soap, vinegar and water and spray down the dog that I thought was the culprit that brought them! A few weeks later, no fleas, and the couple down the road claimed the dog that got out of the kennel place!!

    Missed her before she goes outside . With what I mentioned earlier. Those mite cause dry skin. They are white and when they are bad you will feel wax. They are called wax mites. They get on your hair. And it will cause hair to fall out. You can scratch your self and they look like dead skin.

    Hello Sweetheart and Ms Bella!! I found that dawn and vinegar does we'll. I set a plate out of it and I spray myself when I go out and come in. I would spray Bella also. Parasites are bad this yr as well. So please whip your self off and keep Bella sprayed. Put alcohol in it as well. Hugs and love to you sweethearts. You can add a fragrance like lavender or I like eucalyptus and vic sav. With vinger . You be amazed what you whip off your skin. These mites you can not see. And that is cancer . Love y'all's way!!

    For cleaning your tank, try dumping a big bag of icecubes down the toilet before driving. The cubes will slush around cleaning the tank, and later they melt and drains out!

  • @edithtrowbridge1775
    @edithtrowbridge1775 6 дней назад +1

    Get rid of the rug and bedding. Bomb and then after 4 0r 5 days bomb again. Maybe do that a third time. Do the same to the other camper if you really want to get rid of the fleas.

  • @bostonterriermomakasandy9722
    @bostonterriermomakasandy9722 6 дней назад

    I had them bad one time and the only thing that worked was a spray you get from the vet. The following is a copy of what I found online and it also said fleas live up to 100 days.
    Here are some tips:
    Aerosol sprays are recommended over foggers, as you can direct the spray under beds or other places that the foggers may be unable to reach.
    Choose an insecticide that contains both an adulticide (kills adult fleas), such as permethrin, and an insect growth regulator (kills the eggs, larvae, and pupae), such as methoprene or pyriproxyfen.
    People and pets shouldn’t come into contact with an insecticide or chemical treatment until it has dried. Be sure to wear gloves when you apply the spray, and only do it when everyone is out of the room or house.

  • @bibsoutdoors4786
    @bibsoutdoors4786 6 дней назад +1

    Keep on mind, permethrin . Safe for you and pets, cheap and deadly to all manner of insects.

  • @lori5142
    @lori5142 6 дней назад

    I know you don't want to hear it, but I'm saying it anyway..lol. When you bomb, you have to get her on the pills from the vet. OTC stuff doesn't work in bad years. I used the liquid on the skin from the vet. Once I started using the pills, it does ticks, fleas etc. My dog lived 12 years. It's kind of like us humans having to take medicine. I'm sorry you're dealing with that, what a nightmare.

  • @ItsMe-rl7ex

    Go to tractor supply and get the consetrate dip only way to get rid of them dip the dog keep the head out of the dip. That's only way to get rid of them all the same time I went that way with my dog , I tried everything you did but couldn't get rid all . Some times feed stores have a free dip once a year you can check with them m good luck. You can spay your carpet light with a spray bottle like washing a window make sure to keep windows and doors open.

  • @don_at_large
    @don_at_large 6 дней назад +2

    I owned a used Coachman. Leaked like a sieve. All the exterior surface joints seeped. The roof exterior cover developed pin holes along the surface also slow seeping moisture. The moisture soaks into the interior insulation and lays there until you can recognize water stains along the interior wood walls. Had lots of black fungus in between the interior walls and exterior surface. Just do a real good inspection, get a moisture meter from amazon to help identify water seepage under the walls. Best Regards

    I’m just gonna take a wild guess here, but I bet there are still fleas in the van. Sometimes you have to do more than one flea bomb. Once you get a bad infestation, it’s not easy to get rid of them specially with the weather you’re having.
