Our babysitter's house has fleas and she has bites. Can she infest our house?

Answer:
Yes, if she carries them in on her clothing etc. I would recommend to her that her family buy BORAX and sprinkle it all over the carpets, furniture, animals bedding and rub it in really good. Then let it sit there for 7 days and vacuum it up.
We have 2 outdoor cats and our house was INFESTED with fleas. Bombs didn't kill any of them. The borax had our house flea free in 1 week.
Good luck.

Yup, the fleas can hitch a ride on her.

Yes, they can come in on her clothes or shoes, in her purse, etc.

You need to have her not watch your kid, sounds like there is a public health issue here. If she brings a few fleas over (in her hair) then they can settle in you kids hair or your carpet or your dog... I recomend you have her get that cleared up.

---

Yes, she can. Those nasty little things are probably in her clothes or on her body.

If you still want her to babysit, you're going to have to treat your house for fleas, too! :-(

---

yes... they like to travel on clothing and in hair... ugh... that sucks! maybe flea bomb your house and that'll kill the ones that she brings over... or suggest to the babysitter to flea bomb her house... not sure how you'd bring that up... "Hey, babysitter... flea bombing is fun, you should try it!"

Yes, just walking thru a yard with fleas can bring them into your home. They get on your clothes, shoes, and in your hair. If the babysitter's house has fleas, then you will most likely have them in your car as well. Find a new babysitter, or help her rid of the infestation.

More important, why would you leave your child in a house infested with fleas? They will bite your child too! Yes, you can bring them home! I'd find a new sitter, pronto!

yes / she can
