While driving home i had afew itches around my ankles only to find out id been bit after getting out the shower, i later discovered a flea in the foot well of the passenger seat, ive not used the van all week as ive had the week off work, ive been out in the van late moring today and while i was goin to but my boots on out the van i saw a flea in the boot but it was dead, so went shooting now iching lol on my return to the van i put my rifle in the back and after getting home empty handed this time i went to zip my gun bag up only to find another live flea on my scope.....so basically what im after is how long do rabbit fleas live off the rabbit or have i got them in my van for good untill treated? what do i treat the van with....ect ect Thanks Edited September 15, 2012 by MrRoberts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bolt94 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 If you ask in your local Veterinary Practice there are many different types of Aerosol and Spray on Flea killers give your van a good blast and then lock it up for a few hours and I can't see too may living after that.

Dougy Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Find yourself sack,spray it with stayaway ( large yellow tin) and chuck your bunnies in there as you shoot them ir just after. Also get a plastic box & lid from diy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyb79 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) In future, if you can hang the rabbits from a tree/fence post for 30 mins after shooting, most if not all the fleas will jump off.

T-Bolt94 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) Had a check today and there is a product called Acclaim which is a large aerosol used to remove fleas which have entered the home from pets Edited September 26, 2012 by T-Bolt94 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Any GOOD shot would shoot the fleas first and then the rabbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
