Oh where do I begin
Our new kitten keeps getting fleas! We vacuum and vacuum and have looked for signs of fleas in our apartment, and we see none.
We gave our babies Frontline and our older cat seems to have no problems with fleas at all. Our kitten seems to be the one taking the brunt of the fleas.
We couldn't figure out where they were coming from until we talked to our vet. It seems that fleas can come through windows, under doors, and even on our clothes. So now we think we know the culprit.
Our neighbor, while a very nice person and animal lover to boot, has ALOT of cats. And a good majority of them she keeps outside, where they can pick up fleas and such. So no doubt when we walk through the yard or if the cats are hanging out on the porch, they could be getting in our apartment and onto our baby.
So we vacuum and we Frontline, but is their a way to keep the fleas from getting in? We try to avoid walking through the yard when coming home and we are considering keeping the front porch window shut (which would make our babies very unhappy). Is there any products out there that we could spray around our doors and windows that would make the fleas stay out?
Winter is around the corner here and with daily vacuuming and monthly Frontline, the fleas will most likely disappear for the winter months, but I know that when summer comes back around, so will the fleas.
And just how safe is a "flea bomb"? We were considering doing that to try and take care of any that we miss with vacuuming.
