I do not have any pets but I live in the city where the houses are right next to each other, like row houses. My neighbor has dogs that they let out in the backyard and I recently noticed them itching and biting their backs. I have found fleas in my house two weeks ago. I had Terminix come out and treat the house for fleas. I have carpet everywhere except for the kitchen and bathrooms. I have been paranoid for the past few weeks. I have been walking around with my flashlight on my legs constantly checking for fleas. I have found and killed a few of them with my fingers. I am assuming the fleas are coming my neighbor's dogs. We don't have grass in our backyards but we do have small plants. Our backyard is the size of a one car garage and they are right next to each other separated by a fence. There fence provides no privacy in the backyard so the fleas can easily hop over.
The problem is that I used the backyard to get in and out of the house everyday. I park my car in the backyard. The past few days I haven't spotted any fleas in my home and none were found in the bowls of soapy water that are placed around my house. But just today, my leg/sin area is itchy with a few small bumps that looks like flea bites. I'm thinking that got in my car while I left for work these past few days.
Please, what are my options. I am losing my mind over these fleas. I'm afraid to get back into my car.
