Soak your cat and carpets in vodka and sprinkle the area, and cat with a fine grit sand.
The little bastards will get drunk and stone each other to death.

Bug bombs worked well for our two takeovers (I should have left the fuckin cat in the house when we bombed, she's now 24 y/o and still going strong).

There is a lot of info on the net about how to get rid of these little buggers.
Bottom line is the flea bomb will kill the fleas but will not kill the eggs so you need to bomb several times to get rid of them, I think it is like a three week gap between bombings but it could be two not sure but you defiantly need to do it several times to get them all and keep them from coming right back.
Hope this helps.

Grab you a box of Mortons Salt and sprinkle it liberally over your carpets throughout the house.
Wait 24 hours and vacuum the salt and dead fleas up.
Problem solved.
No. Really.

At same time wash cat using the original Dawn dish detergent. It actually works, dont rinse all out leave residue ... 2 weeks lated repeat and fully rinse.

Use Frontline on your cat. Vacuume regularly. Re-treat cat after 1 month.
Keep cat out of bedroom areas.
The fleas will prefer the cat over humans. The Frontline is very good for fleas, lice and ticks and it works!!!

Frontline Plus!!!!
After years of flea problems, I found it to be the only thing that works. It not only kills the fleas, but prevents them from laying eggs.
Meantime, you still have to bomb the house a couple times or try the salt thing? to get rid of the overload.
Oh, yes ... avoid wearing white socks. Fleas are attracted to white and will eat your legs alive!
Once flea-ridden, but now flea-free .... Kris

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Cat's gone... Ran away... Or maybe the fleas threw it out... Dunno. I've so far used flea powder, spray, and a few bug bombs to try to get rid of these damned things... Each time, within a day, they come back, and they're pissed. Gonna try the Borax and salt idea I read somewhere after payday (Don't even have enough money for salt right now... LOL). Prolly if I would vacuum the floor once in a while, they wouldn't've gotten so bad, but my wife took the vacuum when she moved. Maybe I should stop buyin' beer so I can afford a new vacuum... Nah... As long as the fleas don't figure out how to open the fridge, then they ain't bad enough for that yet.

Advantage can work and work fast......kills fleas and alters them so the can't breed or lay normal eggs that will hath or sumthin along them lines. Little vials ya drain out on the skin on the pets neck.Kind of price but it works and stop new ones hatching that were born and fall off the pet onto the carpet. Sweeping alot disturbs and breaks then up so they can't hatch so that's sumthin ta do in the meantime. Rabbits and squirrels and even mice carry alot of flea into your house or yards to infest the house pets !!! I got so fed up years ago I sprayed all our carpet with malathion and soaked it and let it set a day. Smell was terrible and probly NOT SO SAFE but it worked........but ya gotta keep the pets off the damp or wet carpet till it dries. That woud be an extreme measure. Sum of the flea bombs damage furniture.....kind of fogs up and sticks on plastic on stereos and stuff causein it to cloud up wierd so be careful with that. I've always used the Advantage and ya can get it at a pet store now verses just a vets and ask for it. Kills fleas that jump on it from other pets too and keeps working for a while. nasty nibblers Pam

0.4 mL Advantage on the Kitty Vacumn the house. Then Sprinkle the place with Salt. Morton's Uniodized Salt works just fine. Vacumn and resalt your house on a regular basis. Flea and Ear mite eggs hatch in 14 days.
The problem with Bug Bombs is that the vapors get into places like your dishes and Linens. On the other hand this is one of their advantages.
I would try the salt and the Advantage first.

And then have the car running so your wife can take you to the ER to sew up all the cat scratches your face will have. Cats and water do not mix.

Hope ya have some de-lousing shampoo just in case....
I remember my friend's extreme devastation when an ER nurse handed her a bottle of de-lousing shampoo to take home and told her that her patient had fleas and she needed to go give him a bath.

Lice shampoo works on fleas? I've always heard that soap and water works well enough on humans... Oh well... I'll just use the flea shampoo that the cat left behind when it moved...
