Flea bites

The real issue here is deciding whether you want a cat that stays indoors or a cat that spends its time outside. You can't really have both. If you rely solely on Fipronil, they’re just going to bring those fleas inside during flea season, and then the pets start biting people.
What does pest control typically do for situations like this? Look, setting a literal fire on your floor isn't exactly a practical solution. Personally, what worked for me was being obsessive with Biokill, mopping everything down with a bleach solution (which kills them almost instantly and leaves them stuck to the rag), and vacuuming constantly. Just thinking about it again... it was a nightmare for about a week, but after that, they were gone for good.
A smart move is making sure they don't get a chance to bite you under the sheets while you're sleeping at night. The whole goal is to stop them from feeding. Once they feed, the entire cycle restarts, and you're right back to the endless cleaning grind.
hey there😁
Just wanted to jump in here. Yesterday, our vet gave my kitty an applicator ($19) that he claims works for both internal and external parasites, but he said it only lasts a couple of months.
