[Closed] Flat full of fleas!

fr0sty · 2015-11-17T19:20:59Z

Hello forum. I've recently moved in with an elderly relative whose cat clearly has fleas. They don't seem to bother her but they certainly do me! To paint the scene if you walk barefoot between two rooms, you'll arrive with a couple of fleas on your feet. Sitting up in bed you'll be picking them off any exposed skin every couple of minutes. Last week I laid solid wooden floors in the kitchen and bathroom and you can see them skating about on it after they've dropped off your trouser legs. It's a real nightmare. The cat seems relatively flea free really. I've given her two baths in as many weeks (sounded like the exorcist), and washed out probably 30 in total, and when inspecting her daily there's never any obvious ones on her. Though I do hear her scratching a fair bit (bell on collar). I've treated her with the usual flea drop treatments over the past few months when visiting but I think the eggs are in the carpets etc and it's just a perpetual cycle of fleas. It's only since moving in that I've come to learn how many there are! I bought her a new flea collar today btw. Aaaaaaaanyway, is there a long term solution to this problem as it's not a healthy situation for anyone. Please help! Cheers [img

Bombing does not work. Go cheap and end up paying forever.
Fleas also carry disease that are harmful to humans

£40 for the pensioner rate sounds like excellent value so long as you can clear the house for 24hrs or whatever it is - I'd certainly be looking at a professional for an infestation as bad as you're describing.
