I woud be so grateful for any advice before I lose the plot completely!
We have a cat and we also have a flea problem in the house. I haven't managed to find a single flea on our cat, and I have looked thoroughly more than once. He is treated with spot on treatments, which we always do on time.
We have a cat flap in our door through which at least 2 other local cats like to come. My theory is that one of these cats is bringing fleas into the house. One of them in particular doesn't look at all well cared for and I suspect he is the culprit. I don't know who he belongs to and have so far been unable to get anywhere near him because he bolts the minute he sees me.
We have treated the whole house 3 times with 2 different treatments (Bob Martin and Indorax), last treated a week ago and thought we were clear but then last night I caught one of the little buggers hopping up my arm and DD1 has a few new bites.
We have been away for the last few days and I think the other cat has probably been making himself at home in our absence.
So...how do I get rid of the fleas for good? We have discussed calling in the council or Rentokil but is there any point when this cat keeps bringing them back in again? I would be more than happy to treat the interloper but I don't think theres any chance of me catching him!
