Flea bombed house now cat won't come in?

Question

Ever since we bombed our house for fleas my female cat doesn't like to come inside. What can I do?

Answer 1

sometimes cats are very picky and have to have the right type of enviorment...maybe your home smeels bad cuz you flea bombs it...soon the smell might go away and the cat will move back in

Answer 2

It probably just scared the crap out of her - in time she should get over it, especially if her food source is still coming from inside!

For the record, don't bother with flea bombs in future, because they aren't effective. Same goes for any pet store product, whether for your house or your pet.

Answer 3

Since she is closer to the floor, she can smell the poisons. Open the windows (if weather permits) and air out the house as much as possible. As soon as the smell goes away she will come inside.
(And that is good for you too, because you cannot smell it and she can, it might have been a little to strong).

Answer 4

Did you air out the house well afterwards? Did you vacumn your carpets and furnitures well and/or wash your floors?Cats are smart. They also have better senses of hearing and smell than you do. If there is toxic residue from the fleabomb she may well feel ill every time she comes in. Remember, she is closer to the ground than you are. Clean!

Answer 5

Does the house still smell?

Is there something else that could be the reason?
Cats are pretty sensitive. It could be that she doesn't like the odor. If you can't smell it, it doesn't mean that she can't.

I would call your vet and ask for some advice. Or check with this website Dr Jon's Petplace.

Answer 6

Well the house probably still smells bad to her. Just bring her in.
