We had an infestation last summer. All the sprays that we tried would knock 'em down, but not knock 'em out. It got so bad that if you went down into our basement (where they really seemed to enjoy "hanging out") you could feel and see them crawling up your leg. Sometimes 2-3-4 at a time. We tried the Diatomaceous Earth. Within 2 days...massive improvement. Within 5-6 days (less than a week, I know)...absolutely no signs of the tiny little bastards...anywhere. Not on the dog, not on the cat, not in the carpet, not on the furniture, not in the basement, not anywhere.

And...it doesn't cost any more than some of the chemical sprays that we bought, that didn't do anywhere near the job.
