My cat has never had fleas (well except for when we first got her) and she just got fleas. She is an indoor cat. We moved to a new home an the previous owners had a dog. We have lived here for 3 months and I just noticed the fleas, they weren't too bad. We gave her a flea bath and put an advantage drop on her and don't see any more fleas on her right now. The vet said we need to either spray our whole house or steam clean everything. (she said bombing doesn't work?) I then told her I have never seen a flea in my house or every gotten bit and we just noticed our cat's fleas, so I don't think the house is infested. The cat has escaped to the garage a few times and someone brought their dog here a couple weeks ago and it came thru the house for a minute.
Do you think we still need to take all the precautions for our house such as steam cleaning, spraying etc? If there were fleas all over the house wouldn't we notice them?
I read something about putting a candle in water over night and in the morning if there would be fleas in the water if we had them. I might try that but nervous to leave a burning candle all night with the cat running around.
What do you think??
