Due to fucking fleas

Iv had this probelm for a few months.. at one point got rid if them then they reapeared.
Iv spent well over a 150 on stuff.
Iv treated cat.. she had begun to lose hair and done the whole flat every week

Today i moved my bed out to clean under it. Steam mop it and to spray and bomb the place again

My partner is also allergic to them so gets bit and its not v pleasent at all. The past 2 3 weeks hea only got a xouple of bites so i think im winning

But after today if thia doesnt work im seriousely going to cry.

The cat has NO fleas on her at all. Her fur has grown back i am at a lose to what else to do. Shes eveb a inside fucking cat so no idea how she got em them in the first place.
I also have one of thouse lamps that the fuckers are suppossed to be attravted to.. 20 quid and the fucker dont work or the fuckers are smart.
Iv tried sprays.. floggera... powder.. bombs.. all sorts of brands.

So hellllppp please munsnet... what other ideas have u got

with a regular infestation like that you need to deep clean your flat. Which means cleaning/hoovering/spraying everything in the rooms and hallways.

Like down the sides of the sofa, under the sofa, light fittings, any cupboards etc.
I'd also spray the mat in front of the door - if you have one- with disinfectant regularly and keep your outside shoes in a box or something until it's all in order.

i doubt it's your cat, poor thing getting all the blame Grin

Part of my day job. One of the reasons endless de-fleaing of cats and dogs doesn't work is because the critter involved is actually Pulex Irritans AKA the human flea. Caught and examined they do not have the spikes on their legs (for anyone interested and in possession of a microscope). I have not RTFT but Indorex sprayed and then left down for days (no vacuuming) will break the back of it.
