I use a Ultrasonic Pest Repeller. It seems to works well with fleas (I have a cat).
Many places sell them, but her is one I found for you: http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/endecaSearch/partDetail.jsp?SKU=LH00492&N=411
Sorry for the delay, Jaques. My son says he could see the insects crawling around, so it looks like they're not the same as the ones you're having problems with. They weren't "formally" identified, he found out what they were from a search on the internet.
Hope you've managed to eradicate your little beasts by now.
Hi Jaques
It sounds like you have fleas. I am having trouble getting rid of mine, it is completely awful and can't see light at the end of the tunnel. I am getting bit on the bottom of my legs all the time. I have bought something called "Staykill" from the Vets and it seems to have reduced the problem but I know that it is going to need to be done again because I have spotted a couple since (which is better than the 30 odd I was seeing before in one go). I would suggest giving that a go
Hi Jaques,
Not certain what insecticide it was. If it's fleas you'd have to spray everywhere, then spray again in a few days, because the spray doesn't kill the eggs, which hatch out days later and start the whole cycle off again. I remember earlier in the year our dogs got fleas off a hedgehog in the garden and for weeks on end we kept finding fleas in their hair. We used the stuff that you apply to the back of their necks, we bought enough for 3 applications each, about a month apart (this is long-lasting stuff!) and still saw the occasional flea. We sprayed the whole house a few times but they were really really difficult to completely eradicate. Now we're careful when the dogs go into the garden at night, if they're longer than a minute or two we're calling them in, worried that they might be trying to get a hedgehog!
Just keep at it, Jaques, you've got to win in the end!
