Please help me-Repost
Repost-this is home/pet issue-but i need help!!!
so, my kitten def has fleas. the vet gave him a flea bath and tomorrow im putting the Prevention on him.
i vacummed possibly every inch of my apt, and put down the flea/larvae/egg killer spray ALL over.
i bought foggers-but it doesnt sound too good-i have to turn off pilots and gas valves??? i live in an apt-so i dont think i can do this
are foggers worth it? the one i got says you have to stay 2-3 hours away from the home
i dunno if im not doin enough or wahtever....for the rest of the week, i wll spray and vacumm every day...
Please help!!!

Do what you are doing...throw away the vacuum bags after each vacuum. The fleas can crawl back out if you don't.
I wouldn't use the foggers, but they sell flea traps at Home Depot or Lowes, try them. They are safe to use and effective.
Good luck

When our dog had fleas we just vacuumed every day - threw out the bags after each vacuum. We also changed the sheets daily, caused a lot of laundry but apparently eggs can survive months before hatching. They can wait for the perfect environment to hatch.
We also gave Peanut a pill named Capstar. It would kill any live fleas on her within 24 hours.
We were flea free within a week.

I would wash your bedding in HOT HOT water.
And get the capstar. We just boarded my dog last week and as a precaution she was treated with Capstar when she went in and then again when she left. It was only $3 per time, so it can't be that pricey.

So the vet gave your Revolution?
Ok, if you put it on Kitty, RELAX NOW!!! It WILL work.
What will happen is....fleas will JUMP on kitty. Fleas will become sterile, then die. The cycle will be broken. In about two months I think, the cycle will be broken. All will be gone!
You can call Revolution directly. They will talk with you. I called them when my doggie had fleas on him. I guaranteee you it will work. You dont need to keep using all kind of stuff in the house. you just need to use the Revolution once a month (NO MORE!!!!, you will hurt kitty). And IT will work.
And as I told you, you can use a flea comb to pick off live fleas and drown them.
LET THE KITTY walk around. It is actually BETTER for you and your house. You WANT the fleas to jump on kitty cause kitty has the medicine on. The fleas need to jump on kitty to become sterilized. That is VERY important. Please write back so I know you got this!!!
