At long last after having so many cats throughout my lifetime,I am having my first experience with fleas. Not once in the past 5 years has my outdoor cat ever had fleas until we brought her to camp! Now I find myself in a daily combat with the itch causing little bastards. I, of course, am allergic to the little suckers and have been suffering with total body itch since just before they were discovered... I had nearly passed it off as environmental allergies as it was that time of year but now know otherwise :(
After 2 weeks of flea bathes and vacuuming we are still finding them I'm the kids room. Just tonight I finally tried the soapy water under a night light trick. 3 hrs later and sure enough there are 8 already drowned fleas. I'll be afraid to check in am...
Unfortunately I'm working the next 3 days so my all out war will have to wait until then. For now, we have vacuumed the house and washed/powdered the cats and quarantined them to the bathroom until we can fully tackle the house. Lets just hope my skin can hold up until then...
