They won't leave! I found the fleas 2 weeks ago, used a flea comb and drowned them in soapy water, then applied Advantage and used IGR spray all over. Later, I washed bedding, towels, etc. and vacuumed like crazy (couches, rugs...). Now, I just found some adult fleas on him! This time he has hardly any of the "flea dirt" that I found before - so it seems much milder - but I'm afraid I can't get rid of them. He's always been an indoor cat, too!
Can I reapply Advantage only 2 weeks later? It was the right dose for his size last time and I used the whole tube. Also, is it possible that giving him a flea bath with BioSpot just one day after the Advantage lessened its effectiveness? (I was being neurotic and wanted to bathe him in case. Boy, did he hate it!) And should I have used a bomb instead of just the spray? I tried to be really thorough with the spray but could have missed something.
Any advice or help would be great. My kitty is my baby and I hate to see him scratching. Thanks!
