I had light coloured carpetting and was able to see the fleas perfectly when my cat was infested with them one time (from my old dog). Had to treat her for fleas for a while and catch and kill whatever ended up on her sleeping area (on my duvet cover!). I became somewhat of an expert at catching the jumpy ones off the carpet with a pair of tweezers... I hate little critters of any kind so that was a nightmare and I was the only one getting bit on occassion! I actually don't remember my hubby complaining of a single bite at the time. I also caught what I could off of the cat's hair too even though she's a medium haired girl, she's white and grey so it makes it easier to see the little black guys on her. The Advantage treatment might have been working on her slowly since the ones that fall off of her onto the blanket seem less energetic so they're easy catches. The more lively ones do well "swimming" through strands of hair hiding as I've watched them do before. |
