Get over your aversion to pesticides for one day. Go get yourself some flea
bombs. Their effect is residual, so you most likely will not have to
re-bomb. My recommendation is not to skimp either. Use one bomb per room
because the fog has a difficult time making it from one room to the next.
This can be an expensive proposition but I would go this route.


Not so expensive compared to the aggravation of flea bites. Back in the days of
my owning a cat, every mid summer I'd get eaten alive by the little *******s.
I'd toss the cat out and fog the house... like you said, one can for each room,
and come back in a couple of hours and air the place out. I'd powder down the
cat before he was let back in.

Then in 10 - 14 days I'd repeat it to get the eggs that were now hatching. That
generally took care of business until the following summer.

You can usually find foggers in three packs at the grocery store or home center.
It would work out to about $3/room if I recall correctly.

My new critter (a dog) doesn't seem to get fleas. I give her a pill every month
and life is good.
