We've just realised that the rented house we've just moved into has fleas. We don't think it's a massive infestation, but I've had bites and seen a few fleas too.
I'm 38+4 and being induced on Thursday.
The council pest control people are supposed to be coming round on Wednesday and apparently use a water-based insecticide which is safe, but I wanted to ask if anyone had any experience/expertise on this and on what precautions, if any, we need to take to make sure the house is OK to bring our newborn into and/or check that her clothes/bedding/etc are OK after fumigation.
I'll give my MW a ring tomorrow to ask her if she has any experience of this but in the meantime, any ideas/advice would be much appreciated.
