We live in an apartment, and the neighbors have pets. We also see cats roaming the complex at night. Having said that, we have started to see fleas in our apartment!!! This is such an annonying problem! As you all know, you can't just SMASH a flea -- they're already flat. Are there any household items that could be used to keep them away??

First bomb your apartment. This will eliminate any existing fleas and their offspring.
A little bit of vinegar mixed with water will repel fleas from biting you, also garlic helps a little also.
I don't know a way to keep them out of the apartment unfortunately. Call a pest control service and ask them - then talk to your neighbors. If they have the problem and refuse to do something about it, report them to the management office! I know that's a violation of the lease.
Also talk to them about the stray cats. If they are a nuisance you can ask them to have them removed. If your leasing office won't do it get the management company's phone number and talk to them directly
Good Luck

Flea bombs, go pick a couple up at the grocery store, cover up food and plants and leave the apt. Return a couple hours later and you should be flea free, however, if your neighbor has dogs and you are near them, they could jump onto you and you would carry it into the home. I would think the outside area would have to be overflowing with fleas for it to be an issue with you.
