What would be a reasonable house price?

What is the average price for an exterminator to exterminate fleas in a house? Or a price range? ?

• Hi, What would be the average for an exterminator to come in and get rid of some fleas in my house? I dogsat a friends dog who I didn't realize had fleas and who didn't have any flea protection on and my house got infested. I got Frontline for my poor puppies and have bathed them, but the fleas keep jumping on them and me. At first I used Borax on my rugs and vacuumed them, taking the vacuum bag outside to the trash. That didn't work. Then I went to the vet and got a spray for upholstery (I threw out my rug at this point, it's not worth it) and I sprayed my couches and left them for 2 hours. I took all the couch cushions out on my deck and left them on plastic chairs and brought them in one at a time to wash in warm water with Borax and detergent and I dried them in my dryer with a lemon verbena Bounce sheet (I heard something that fleas don't like essential oils and lemon was supposedly one of them so I figured it wouldn't hurt). I brought them in one at a time. I just got bitten by a flea a few minutes ago (which I killed) but I can't stand it. I would have gone to an exterminator first, but the economy being what it is, money is a bit tight and I was hoping I could rectify the problem myself. I live in NY, about an hour north of NYC, and I'm looking into going to Orkin for help, but that's not a done deal. What do you think I'm looking at spending to have an exterminator treat my house? I realize that it probably you can only estimate, but how bad is the damage? Is it in the $100+ range or more? I need to know because I have to figure out how I can swing that this month. Please, only serious responses. Thanks so much for your help.

• Answer:

  Fleas are a huge problem this year . this is a quote from my vet , my pet shop owner and my exterminator who i had worked for in the past . frontline isn't working so we switched to advantage and my exterminator switched to vectra 3d . he also came to my home and sprayed and treated for fleas, it goes in two treatments the first one and than a Second about 10 -14 days apart . we are happily flea free at this point , price was 240 for both treatments plus the advantage of 42 dollars from the vet
