Things You Will Need

  • Fog bombs geared toward fleas and chiggers
  • Sheets
  1. Empty cabinets in the kitchen. Cover dishes and food with sheets. Cover all decorations and anything else you do not feel like cleaning when you get home.

  2. Leave furniture exposed, particularly cloth furniture where fleas might live.

  3. Put on a face mask or hold your breath as the fog starts going off.

  4. Start at the back of the house, farthest away from the door. Set off one bomb in a small- to medium-sized room. Put two or more bombs in larger rooms.

  5. Leave the house for at least four hours.

  6. Spray insecticide around the perimeter of your house to ensure the fleas and chiggers do not return.
