Fleas??

We've got two dogs, fairly recently adopted a cat. Never had issues with fleas before and I've always been laid back about flea treatment, but since I got the cat I decided to up my game - and they have all been treated for fleas, proper stuff from the vets. But I keep getting bitten! Could it be that the fleas have moved off the treated animals and on to me? I haven't seen any fleas, and the bites are not on my ankles, but randomly all over. Three in a line on my hand this evening. They are itchy too. Any ideas? Do I need to Indorex the entire house???

3 bites in a line is a common pattern for bed bugs...

Bloody hell I hope not...these bites appeared after sitting in the living room so hopefully not...and DH sleeps in the same bed and no bites...

If you're getting bitten they're likely in the house. We're currently battling this too, it happened all of a sudden and it's been a nightmare! We got tablets from the vet for the dog which have worked after advantage did absolutely nothing, he was crawling! We've sprayed the house with Indorex after bleaching everything and washing anything that could be washed on 90°. Vacuum daily. I haven't actually seen fleas in the house but DCs are being bitten so must have some somewhere. I'd get ahead of it now if I were you because this is so ridiculously stressful. Next plan is to spray again and salt everything. Good luck!

@gooseygoosey12345 thanks it's a nightmare isn't it - we're still getting bitten but not as bad - time to break out the Indirex I think!

Absolutely! Hopefully it won't take too long to get on top of. Makes you feel on edge in your own home
