Oldest re-did her room, vacuumed, washed all bedding, VetKemed again.
One of the fleas I combed out of Finn and put in a ziploc plastic baggie yesterday is still alive today. Makes me think the Advantage is not working the way it should on him, although as far as I can tell it is working on the dogs. Def worked on Shadow but don't know if it is continuing or not, he will not let us comb him. Daughter is looking for fleas/dirt where he sleeps, found a couple of dead fleas this morning. When I first put it on Finn we saw the fleas dying off. It's been close to two weeks since his application, another two before it says I can reapply. So I ordered 2 boxes of Capstar off of Amazon, it will be here Tuesday. Will dose him every three or four days. I combed him today and got a couple of fleas, he is getting annoyed at me though and I don't feel like I'm doing a good enough job.
Re VetKemed the basement where he sleeps, the front half, and steps. Used up everything I had left. The manual pump spray smells different from the aerosol .. it stinks, don't like it. Did find four million-leggers dead along the baseboard. The stuff works. Once that's completely dry I will re-Borax the basement. Again, what possessed us to get Berber carpeting down there is beyond me. It's got too many loopy loops and makes it a great place for fleas to burrow into. If this round of everything doesn't do it I may just rip up the carpeting. It's beat, I don't like it, it's already half ruined from flooding a few years ago and also from Shadow.
DE'd the living daylights out of the living room and just left it there. Will do the same to the family room and remaining three bedrooms. Hadn't VetKemed the two bedrooms because the doors are constantly shut and the animals don't go in there, but Finn did a few times last week when I was cleaning. I thought it was ok because he'd had the Advantage. Will VetKem all rooms when it gets here next week. In the meantime, DE.
