^ Most of the stuff we used on the house(there was more than one product) made some outrageous claims that they kept fleas away for twelve months or whatever, I don't believe them for a second, sadly. I can't help it, I'm skeptical. Otherwise, here's an update for anyone who might be wondering...

^ Ah, thanks Puck, I think I must've just forgotten that part of your post, or in a panic just chose to ignore it. Either or. I will indeed talk to a vet about that though, there are a few different ones nearby I can try, and like you said, the worst they can do is say no. I think just seeing...

I might end up doing that, actually. I wound up giving in and just calling the company who makes the drops I use and talked the poor woman's ear off and got tons of technical information and comforting words that helped quell most of my fears, so that was insanely helpful in just helping my...

Bumping the thread for another update/relaying of some concerns. So we have still continued the treatment of the house, treating it as if it were an infestation and vacuuming pretty much any time we feel up to it, still spraying the Spectracide whenever and wherever we can, we've only let up a...

I'll definitely look into the Comfortis then. I have a friend who has three dogs and two cats and he's the one who lent me the Advantage spray, as well as two pills that I previously assumed were Capstar but are likely Comfortis or something similar since he has assured me that it offers...

^ Thank you for the advice. I appreciate it. Figured I'd bump the thread with a bit of an update. Since my last post we've continued with the treatment of the house and to a lesser extent the yard - at least until yesterday when we treated it again with an Adams product. I still haven't...

(I know some forums really frown upon double posts so my apologies if this is one as well.) Just figured I'd give a slight update. We've still been vacuuming and I essentially coated the inside of my closet with DE. I haven't physically seen a flea in two days and my room seems fairly clear...

You're all really helpful, thank you. You've given me peace of mind, even a bit. I really was curious about just how long our cats had had fleas and knowing that they had to have had them for many weeks i oddly... comforting, in a way. simply because we will now be more perceptive of the signs...

I know the sentiment about Florida weather, believe me. I've never been a fan and I've lived here all my life. We've always dealt with fleas fairly easily and it's only here recently that things started to go south(no Florida pun intended). Something about seeing all that dandruff, just...

I guess maybe I have been underplaying how important vacuuming could be. I'll be sure to keep that up and do so as much as possible. I'm just really irrationally worried about some stragglers making their way onto our cats and therefore eventually starting the whole process all over again, you...

I actually do have a follow-up question though. Should I still use the Advantage spray on the cats right now? I mean, would it pose a health hazard? Or should I hold off and see what happens for a while first? I just wouldn't want things to advance if it can be prevented, but i wouldn't want to...

Thank you for the reply. I'm actually not certain if the drops were were using were Advantage II. I wasn't even aware there WAS an Advantage II, the 'II' part is causing the confusion I guess. That's good to know though. I'm not entirely certain if the DE product i'm using is food grade, i'll...

I just made this account to ask this question, so forgive me if I'm not in the correct forum, breaking any unwritten rules, etc. I did search the forum a bit, but couldn't seem to find any others with a situation similar to mine, so forgive me if this has been answered. I have two cats. 10 and...
