F L E A S update: it is NOT over yet

I just caught the update on the fleas.

Flea control once they are as out of hand as yours are is a LONG TERM process. As long as you keep treating the pets in the house with Frontline PLUS every 30 days the fleas will eventually die and stop biting you. Don't forget what was in my original post. 1 female flea = 2,000 eggs. If there's fleas coming out of the carpet biting you then plenty of females have had time to lay LOTS of eggs. It may take as long as 1-2 years of treating the cats every 30 days to completely be rid of them but they will go away, you just have to have patience. The problem didn't happen in a few weeks and certainly won't go away in a couple weeks.

I personally wouldn't recommend flea bombs. They are nasty, and have a whole bunch of downsides to them.

Is there any way you can get an exterminator? I'd do that before bombing. There's so much you have to do with bombing a house. Normally with exterminators you have a one time fee, but you can sign up for a monthly contract and they will come out ANY time during that month that you have a problem. I normally use an exterminator in my house because I live in a row home and the basement gets "water bugs" in it because of dampness. Basically a nice way of saying the basement gets Oriental Roaches in it... ick... but it's city living, and they spread in row homes easily. Thankfully, that is all I've really had to deal with living in a row home, but the exterminator will come out and treat ANY infestation problem I have when there is a contract. I'd check into it, it's a an investment, but it's worth the peace of mind.
