eeeew poor baby and poor YOU !! We just had a tiny flea problem - I think I nipped it before it got bad but Chachi is right - do the
Dawn Dish Soap Bath - and you will have to bomb probably 2 more times - once to kill the live fleas ...wait a few weeks - then again to kill the larvae....You'll def need to treat your yard too and all around your house outside.
Flea larvae (eggs) do NOT live on pets - they are deposited on them by adult fleas..... but fall off and thrive in carpet and dark places - they can stay in their STUPID cocoon type 'egg house' for a long time -
I forgot the proper word LOL ....but I feel like an expert on them now since seeing my 1st flea in MY house a month ago.
so you need to bomb and
VACCUME everywhere until you get this problem solved and wash ALL bedding blankets and clothes in HOT water too - it's ALOT of work to get rid of these evil creatures.
GOOD LUCK - fleas are the nastiest little bloodsucking creatures - I don't even know what purpose they have on this earth. Ticks either
