Chances are the fleas, and possibly their parasites have spread from the dog to other areas throughout the home where they have napped, the pup’s bedding particularly. Any linens plus the bed needs soaking in soapy, very hot water for more than 15 minutes. After everything has saturated, wash, and thoroughly rinse. The entire process results in the dehydration and death of the pests.
As far as the remaining parts of the home, a good vacuum is essential in sucking up the fleas from all the cracks and crevices, each square foot of every room in the entire house. It’s going to be a juggling act. You either want the puppy clean and stay with someone during the cleanup. Or, if the dog still has the infestation, he should remain outside or in one particular space until he’s free of the outbreak. Areas that don’t receive a lot of sunlight are most prevalent because they prefer cool, humid areas. Read about the different ways to treat fleas.
