flea's

[capuishis]

My son brought his dog into the house who had some flea's on him. My cat began scratching behind her ears and on her neck and found that she had fleas now also. We got the medication from our vet to cure the flea problem on her and she is fine. The problem is that there are flea;s still remaining in the house biting ankles. We bought a bomb to kill fleas, did exactly what was asked of us to do on the package. We washed every piece of clothes in the house, all bedding, vacummed. It has been three days and there are still bites on ankles from fleas. There is no longer any animals in the house at all. My question is. How do you know if the fleas have just hatched eggs so you know when to bomb again? It says wait 14 days and bomb again, but it is suppose to be done right after the eggs hatch and they don't have a chance to lay more eggs. This is the biggest problem we have ever been thru. I hope you can help. Thank you.

Hi capuishis
Even though you have treated the animals, you also have to treat the whole house, especially carpets or flooring.
Your vet can supply you with a special spray which you can use around the house. You may need a couple of cans but it will rid your house of the fleas. The spray does work.
Good luck!

I have just used Gentrix R.I.P. spray which I got from the vet...it does seem to be working and is supposed to continue to kill the eggs and pupae for 12 months.
