Fleas: One Week Later

I wanted to give a follow-up report on the kitties.  It has been just over a week since we gave them the Comfortis for the flea infestation.  The kitties have not had any adverse effects to the Comfortis whatsoever.  Of course, I cannot speak to long term, but they have responded beautifully to the treatment thus far.  We have our babies back!  It had gotten so that all they did was lay around all day and did not want to be bothered...of course they loved being combed.  They came to recognize that this meant a certain amount of relief, I think. 

We still have the remnants of the early stages in the house: whatever eggs had been dropped, the nymphs, the pupa and then the tiny adult fleas.   But when these bite the cats, they will soon die.  They will never have the chance to lay eggs.  The population will dwindle out eventually. 

We began to notice an almost immediate difference in the house last week.  I still have to vacuum frequently to suck up whatever has hatched and I also must wash the sheets every few days.  I can tell that it's time when we begin to feel the creepie crawlies while we are trying to sleep. 

I have vacuumed up the diatomaceous earth in most of the house.  It remains only in one room that does not get used.  I have never had to put down any pesticide powders or have the house bombed/fumigated or anything else!  The kitties are now taking care of the problem themselves and they don't even know it!
