Hi Cheryl,

Some veterinarians sell cans of "bug bomb" and that really helps, but you need to put all food away first, and then run out of the room quickly, or leave the house for a couple hours.

My indoor cats also had infestation several years ago, they had been getting into the basement crawlspace and getting fleas there, and then sometimes in summer, one of my son's friends comes over, he doesn't bring his dog with him, but has a dog at his house and possibly is bringing in a flea or 2 on himself when he visits, it only takes one or a couple to create more very quickly.

Hi Cheryl,

The bug-bomb was our last resort, that year of 2005 or maybe it was 2006 was a very bad year for fleas in west Michigan, the vet said everyone's pets and houses were full of fleas that summer. That was a hot humid pollen-filled summer, also bad for our allergies. The bug-bomb got rid of every bug for a year, none came back for a very long time, not even the daddy-longleg spiders we usually have in the basement.

Have you tried the flea-medicine you put on the back of the cat's neck? They don't like the drops of liquid but it gets rid of their fleas within 24-48 hours and they don't come back for over a month or sometimes a couple months.
