I know it's been asked, but here's my situation:
I adopted a kitten, she brought fleas, I adopted her back out (have 2 adult cats) Fleas are EVERYWHERE! My treatment began with a spray. Nada. Then, baking soda and boric acid. Nada. Then, Borax. So-so, but still fleas. Next, Sevin dust. Better, but fleas still present! Treated my cats with Advantage, put a light with Dawn and water in L.R., caught hundreds or more. Still have fleas. Bought a powder the other night that is supposed to be an IGR. Still jumping around. They even managed to crawl into the stitching on my mattress!! We didn't sleep in our bed for 5 days! Finally, sprayed the bed, vacuumed it and put fresh sheets on. Fleas are back. I vacuum nearly daily and empty the canister as soon as I'm done.
My home is 1500 sq. feet, 2 levels and except for 2 rooms... all carpet! I am at my wits end. It's been over 3 weeks and everytime I feel I'm gaining ground.. I see more. Bombs are last resort. Suggestions?
