Marilyn, take it from a flea expert. We lived in Hawaii for six years with two cats. When you live with pets in Hawaii you become experts on flea control. It does little good to merely deflea the pets. You have to seal off and fog the entire house too. Preferably at the same time. De-fleaing the pets gives relief for a few days at most. When you fog the environment too, the relief lasts for weeks and weeks. You gotta get to the source. For every flea on your pet there are at least five replacements waiting their turn to invade. They are hiding in the rugs, draperies, carpets, everywhere. Get a few fog bombs and follow directions. Good luck. Dixon , Barbara, Max the cat, and Scooter Dallas, Tx [Posted in FML issue 1057]
