New Effing fleas
My cat escapes. My cat disappears and runs for the lawn and then goes hangs out underneath the shed and then comes back. With fleas. So I put the drops on the back of her neck but we still got fleas in the house now.

When I went through this many years ago it got to the point where there was a cloud of fleas hopping at all times anywhere. I walked in my house. Those f****** would bite my legs when I went from the bed to the bathroom. No matter what I did, I could not get rid of them until.

I covered the whole house with flea powder on the carpet that was supposed to be vacuumed in a few hours but I left it for 3 months. I poison the f*** out of myself to get rid of those goddamn fleas.

And here I go again. I love this goddamn cat. But I hate those goddamn fleas. I comb her closely. She hates my guts when I'm doing it but I do it anyway. The next thing is for me to fill my house with ozone. Two floors. Top floor isolated from bottom floor. Ozone the f*** out of the world. Poison gas time. Flea bombs don't work. I've done that in previous location.

Any suggestions other than what I'm about to do?

New Karma
We just found out our old cat is infested. Not the other two cats or the two dogs, just the old one who barely goes out. He's on his last legs and just stopped fighting them, apparently that's enough.

Anyway, or bat recommended Virbac Knockout E.S. It's a spray that you put on the rugs and leave for 5 days then vacuum. I'll let you know in a week if it worked.

New Ordered
New Not waiting
Have a whole shitload of variety of carpet and upholstery poisons. All laundry and sheets and blankets being taken to the commercial laundry.

Spent the morning soaking the couch and chairs and carpet in the living room. Thank God this house only has one other carpeted room.

Will be flea shampooing and going over that cat with a fine tooth comb 10 times more. She went from being my best buddy to hating my guts. Oh well.

I actually don't like this couch that much. I bought it with the house. I might just toss it. Last time this happened about 12 years ago I had a leather pillow arm cushion couch that I loved. I wrapped that thing in plastic and dropped a no pest strip in there. That will kill anything including people. This couch isn't worth that effort.

Either way, this house will be bug free in a day or so.
New So how are you handling this?
I took my cat to the pet vet. They claimed whatever they put on her would kill everything in 20 minutes. I went home and I combed her and I found live stuff.

I look around at my carpet and couches. I have already soaked these things with pyrythamine-based flea killer and any flea that hops on here should die.

Everyday I comb her. Everyday I find live fleas. But sometimes these fleas are obviously on their way out. Today I found a flea on my leg. It was dead. Okay. Seems the various toxic substances are working But I'm not sure.

So do I do another pass and poison the world or do I accept that whatever I've already done will kill these things?

New Seems to be working
The vet said whatever they gave her should kill everything in 20 minutes. That was b*******. I had hopping fleas for another couple of weeks. In that time frame I re-poisoned the carpet and couches and everyday I've been combing her. Deeply. Pissing her off.

So today was the first day I combed her and could find absolutely nothing alive on her. I'll give her another week of daily combs to be sure and then I'll let her back in the bedroom. And I will continue to poison just in case.
New Well, there are the electric bug killers.
Examples.

I have no been using them.
