will the heat from the dryer kill fleas that are living in the bathroom rugs?
Answers:
Fleas like animals. If your cats are treated, the problem will go away. We just had an issue w/ our dog having fleas. We treated her with frontline and it did the trick.
The heat from the dryer will kill the fleas.
Tell her not to worry. :)
Also, pest control could try to treat the fleas - but I found out by our vet that as soon as you treat your animals the fleas will die off on their own in a couple of weeks.
I hate fleas and can sympothize!!

Yea. It's hot as hell in the dryer. Just burn them in there.
They won't die, it doesn't get hot enough in the dryer to kill them! Your roommate was right they are going to spread to your clothes now!
makes ya feel good huh ruining a 300 dollar dryer over a 10 dollar floor mat!!!
Dee...Dee...Dee!!
I don't know the answer but I can suggest using Borax on your rugs and leave it on for 30 min and then vacuum
you need to use a fogger to really kill them heat won't get them all. unless you unleash a small nuke in your house.... but I don't advise it
the fleas can invade clothes. kick the cat outside and then get rid of the fleas. otherwise, enjoy seeing them everywhere , even in your hair and pubics.
if the washer dont drown em then the dryer will toast them lol no bite any more
throw out the rugs!
I don't know much about fleas and white kind of temperatures they can withstand, but i highly DOUBT they can live through a dryer cycle.
No, heat encourages egg hatch. Go to the garden store/ nurursery and get some Seven Dust. It is safe enough to sprinkle on your pets. You first really need to get the flea prob with the animal under control. Program will make the flea eggs sterile so your population wont increase. Infestation of unmanageable proportion can happen very fast.
