WOW....and i thought we had flea problems. You might want to put in the expense of an exterminator since everything out there you can use failed. good luck...they're a pain in the a**!

What kind of drops have you used? If they were cheap ones (not advantage or frontline or similar) they never work. Things like Bio-Spot and others you can find at discount stores are usually a waste of money. So are flea collars, and most powders. If it's been good quality flea meds, and the bombs still haven't worked you might have to contact a vet for something stronger and a good spray and an exterminator.

First move everything away from the walls. Then call an exterminator. They live in the baseboards, and in the carpet. They escape to the baseboards so if you have an exterminator come in and spray, not bomb, twice in ten days, it will work. You will also need to cover the outside as well or they will come right back in. Good luck. Try Frontline to put on the cats as it kill eggs as well as adult fleas. Once a month with 7 days on either side of it's last bath.

Sounds like everything you've used has been bought from a store - so don't expect it to work! Pet stores aren't licensed to sell the proper chemicals for flea treatment - anything you find in store is just going to be a basic pesticide that you can't expect to work. Flea collars for instance are entirely useless - all they do is chase fleas away from the neck area, so the fleas just hide elsewhere on the animal!
You need to go to a vets to get some proper treatment. Frontline, Advantage, Revolution, all good. Flea bombs don't work, get a proper spray for your house. You may have to spray your house twice, 10 days apart, to get any newly hatched eggs.

Hi,Frontline is one of the the best treatments available that's why vets recommend it,I have used this on my kitten for 5 months now and since then he has not had a single flea on him.I used some flea bombs a few months ago and they got rid of all the fleas in my home,Did you use one for each room ? and leave each room to to fumigate for at least 3 hours.

Wash as much stuff as you can in dawn dish soap (it kills fleas) Yes im telling you to wash the cat in it too, and bomb the place again then vacuum a couple of times.

We are actually going through this as well, but out infestation is not as bad as yours. We have tried a spray, mycodex Plus, which we got from the vet. It seems to have helped. Best of luck.

I work for a pest defense company and it sounds like you need professional help, sir! You should call various companies and get quotes for a treatment. Fleas are a nasty business.

Bio spot (get it at a pet store)worked magic for me.they were all over. Try to get bug repelling natrual oils from your local health food store. you can find what kind of oils on the web or books. sprinkle some in the worst areas of your house.
