i find that if you put a dinner plate on the floor in the problem area, some dishwashing liquid and some water on the plate, then place a tealight in the middle, when you turn the light off at night then the fleas cannot resist the candlelight and jump in the water and cannot jump out as the detergent sticks to them. This is quite effective and can kill lots of fleas. Best to do it over successive nights for best results. But also much more effective if you treat the pet with Advantage which affects the larval stage as well as the adults. It has no smell at all to humans and seems very safe (i have never had any problems and the cats get over it pretty quickly if you apply it before they have a chance to get a whiff.) It is expensive but the best you can buy and it does give lots of relief to the pets themselves from skin irritations from bites/etc and it lasts about a month per application. (each application is a little tube of liquid you squirt on the back of their neck). There is about 4 - 6 applications per packet. You can get it ( ... )
