I visited my BFs aunt for Thanksgiving with our kitten (she has outdoor-indoor animals). We came back and noticed a week later we had developed a flea infestation!!
I am very allergic to fleas! I cant get a good nights sleep while we have this problem.
So far I have:
Applied FrontLIne (DOESNT DO A THING!)
Sprayed my house and furniture with "Zodiac" ... active ingredients (S)-methoprene and permethrin
Gave a flea bath with a natural flea and tick shampoo (didnt want to compound too many serious pesticides on a kitten at once, I also did this a week after the FL, which means I should have compromised its efficacy with bathing)
Put on a flea collar, I guess for novelty sake...
I am looking into using either:
Hartz Home Fogger, which would be nice because I cannot effectively spray under my wrought iron bed (I have no room to move my mattress and the frame weights like a billion lbs)
Siphotrol spray from home depot, but it doesnt have the same ability to get things under the bed without major uprooting of things.
Maybe apply advantix for the next round of flea and tick prev.
I have been fighting this in my apartment for weeks!!! I will take all the advice posted ... and this has become a very expensive problem ... I dont have much $$$
