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. -- Drew

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.

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?

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.
