Put s FEW moth crystals in your vacuum bag and vacuum every nook and cranny
of your house. this will pull flea eggs out of the carpet and kill them.
Then dispose of the bag outside the home. Bombing the house doesn't get
rid of the eggs. It took me 3 weeks of doing this daily to get rid of the
little buggers. The mothball smell goes away within an hour of vacuuming.
Move your cages to another room when you vacuum that room. You can spray
your yard with a dilute of chlorine bleach and water to keep fleas under
control outside. ALSO... you may have fleas or flea eggs in your clean
litter. Throw it out and buy a new bag. Check with your vet about any
topical treatment for your fert. Kiki may have a flea allergy that
continues to be a problem even if fleas aren't present. One flea bite made
my Chow lose ALL of her hair and she really looked pitiful until we got her
a cortisone shot.
Good luck.
