Fleas...they're awful, that's for certain. I have had inside cats forever and have had them contact fleas by sitting in a screened window area. I was amazed and astounded, but the cats NEVER went outside and there were no other animals in the house, so the window had to be the culprit.

Were you aware that flea eggs can be brought in on the bottom of the shoes? In my home everyone removes their shoes in the laundry room entrance where the back door is in my home. NO one uses the front door ever, because I keep the front gate locked because of the dogs going in and out of the house. Haven't had a flea in over 15 years and I have a lot of dogs and cats coming in that I foster after being dipped...

Fleas are a constant problem in the South, it seems as if they never go dormant in the yard. Actually, I think a lot of them come into our home on our legs and shoes, due to the fact that we have so many doggone squirrels in our area, they are always perched on our deck and just a-digging at themselves. At the first sign of fleas on any pet (dog or cats) bathe, put off flea bombs after we vacate for a few hours or do each room at a time, and frequent vacuuming and disposing each time of the bag. From what I have read, flea eggs can lay dormant and hatch up to 90 days after being laid, so the vigilance has to be an ongoing thing. Good luck!
