A gentleman strolled up the City Hall’s information window today and asked to contact our Parks and Recreation Department. He was seeking help from a specialist on how to get rid of sand fleas. He has a sand box for his toddler daughter, but when he let her play in it she came back covered with flea bites.
How do you get rid of sand fleas? eHow Health offers a solution,
1. Remove all of the sand from the sandbox. Shovel or pour it into a strong garbage bag. Take it to the dump. Put it in the back of a truck, if you can, to avoid getting fleas in your vehicle. You may be able to put it at the curb for regular garbage pick-up, if there is a reasonable amount.
2. Wash your sandbox with a water and vinegar mixture. Mix about half and half in a bucket. Dip a cloth in it, and wash the box vigorously.
You may not want to have to buy all new sand, but it’s worth it.
