In October I moved into an apartment with two girls, one a friend, the other a stranger. The roommate I didn't know personally had not been treating her two cats for fleas. I was getting bitten by what I assumed to be spiders (I have never encountered fleas, the signs were not obvious to me) for a month before I wised up.
I have done everything I could think of to rid the apartment of fleas, with little help from my roommates: I have vaccummed the entire apartment, mopped, covered all the corners with IGR flea powder, washed all my linen, and we have fumigated the apartment twice with two different types of foggers--one specifically for fleas. My roommate has Advantaged the cats. After a two week absense, the fleas are back.
I want to get an exterminator but my roommates do not want to pay for one, and the cats are illegally hiding in our apartment so they are afraid to draw suspicion. One other thing: we do not have a carpet, only hardwood. What should I do?
