Answer #3

no need to bomb the house go to the vet ask them for revalution its the best,I have six indoor kittys there is never a flea on them,its like 30 or 40 bucks for 3 or 4 tubs depends on the vet .it works!!!

Answer #4

If you don’t have the option of getting a professional spray, here’s something I found that will work if you do it right:

First, get something like Advantage or Frontline for your pets. Give it according to the recommended dosage. This will keep the fleas off your pets.

Second, buy two types of insect killer: one type kills adult fleas, the second prevents flea eggs from hatching. Make sure you buy the correct types.

Remove the pets from the area (lock them up in the bathroom or something) and spray the carpets EVERY DAY for about a week or two. That should do the trick. Continue using the Advantage/Frontline and you should never have the problem again.

Good luck!
