You need to flea bomb again and possible than another time. The vibration of the vacuum make the eggs hatch. You can't have piles of clothes or anything piled up they can hid in it and survive. Fleas live where there is blood human or otherwise. I don't think you understand how advantage works. It works on your pets only there is nothing that stops fleas in your house. When you have an infestation it can be bad and it can get worse. The best thing to do is have the pets professional groom and flea dipped. Than you have a company come in and do the house professional. they know where to look and where to put the poisons. Fleas live in fabric, carpet, laundry they are just as bad as roaches. It also might end up being cheaper than constantly trying the cheaper route. I have made this mistake before, believing that I could save a quid or two (£). In the end, it worked out to be cheaper to get the exterminators in. @ least if there is still a problem, you can call them again, & let them, know that it didn't work, & they will come back & sort it out for you. The other thing is that once they break the cycle, you can get on top of the cats uninvited visitors again. To answer your first question, "No, *I don't think* that fleas live in human hair." They are really good ankle bitters, but they don't habitat in humans hair, like head lice do for instance. I hope you get on top of this problem soon, Best Wishes, Sheelagh"o" |
