Well, aparently spending $70 on frontline plus wasn’t enough to kill the fleas. Grrr… So, the next step was to try a flea spray that wouldn’t use the same ingredients. Today we tried Natrual Chemistry De Flea pet and bedding spray. Plus: Doesn’t smell horrible, fleas died. Minus: cats were not happy, and I didn’t realize how cold the stuff was or I would have tried to warm it a little first. They still look like drowned rats at this point, though I tried them as best I could. I don’t want to wash the stuff off (it isn’t required anyway) so they just look funny and pissy. However, the fleas were quickly getting out of hand so this had to be done. I’ve been washing all the bedding, rugs, etc. Now I get to spray the floor, vacuum and then shampoo. I’m hoping shampooing will be more effective.
I’m not happy that the expensive stuff didn’t work, and after this I think we’ll look for some other options. If this Natural Chemistry stuff works we’ll just stick with that since it isn’t toxic and the fleas can’t develop an immunity to it like a chemical. Hopefully this is the last time we have to worry about fleas, they very much suck!
