We recently moved into a new rental property and since then we have had a influx of fleas in the house. On the dog (which he didn't have before)
Carpets, bed, clothes on us!!

Honestly it makes me feel physically sick. This evening I've found some in my bedroom and on the bed. I don't think I sleep knowing they are crawling on me!! We don't allow the dog upstairs so most definitely is an infestation in the house. My daughter has so many bites and I went to check on her and a massive one crawled out!!!

We have pest control coming out tomorrow costing a fortune thankfully the landlord is paying! Anyone had success with pest control? Thanks

Years ago in an old house share we had the council come out and spray. They had to come for a second visit but that did see them all off.
You have my sympathy, I got bitten to death! It’s horrible.
I hope it’s easily sort for you.

Not pest control, but we looked after my SIL's cat a couple of years ago. We had fleas when he arrived and then the eggs hatch after a short cycle. 😰 They hatch in response to heat and movement... 🫥

Indorex spray was amazing, but you have to follow the instructions to the letter.

Good luck! We don't have pets after that episode. 🙀

@TootOnTheBends @beautifulbrothers thank you! Turns out we had a few bed bugs too! Pest control been in and haven't found any since. Been 24 hours just praying that this is it
