| I haven't had a flea problem in many years, but back when I had my ferrets, we had a battle. I went to stay in a hotel one night and I "bombed" the house. That worked for a few days (for real). What really worked fast and permanent was actually doing the drops on the ferrets (like frontline or advantage). Get the drops that kill the adults, sterilize them, AND kill eggs. Within 2 to 3 days, fleas are gone. It was like magic. Hope this helps! Edit to add: Forgot to say to also vacuum the house really well after you do the drops and wash all your bedding (people and pup's).

| As long as I keep Advantage II on Gracie and my indoor cats we have no problem. I have some cats that practically live in the woods come in to eat and I flea comb them so they don't bring any pests in with them. I also flea comb Gracie after we go out for walks. They are out there and you have to fight to keep them from invading your pets and home. |
