It's been very busy and hectic here since we found 4 fleas on one of our rescues. We also let him in the frontroom with ours a few minutes here and there. Between watching two sets of ferret's in different rooms and vacuuming and doing all the bedding on two rooms and cages this is keeping me busy. We got them Advantage today and put on all six of them (not sure if our four have them). I'm making as much time to read BIGs archieves but would like some support. We have never had a flea problem ever. Keep in mind only one of the two had fleas. Would four fleas cause a big problem? How well does Advantage work? Do we have to vacuum everyday and rewash everything everyday? I read we need to brush them twice a day, is this true? What else should I be doing to stop the growth of fleas? I read on one site it takes 14 days from stage 1 to stage 4. The place we got them from had three dogs.. not sure if this matters. Really do appreciate the support. Debbie [Posted in FML issue 2923]
