Answer 1

We can't help you if you're screaming.

Answer 2

A fleas lifecycle lasts 4 weeks so you will need to treat your house every 2 weeks for 6 weeks to ensure you have killed all life stages.

Answer 3

tell them to treat their cats and take a smoke bomb to their apartment...should flush those little annoying things right out

Answer 4

Theres a product called Indorex that is used to treat the household, it works for 12 months. you can buy is from most shops and veterinary practices or online.

Answer 5

You do realise that the cap locks on means you are shouting, but I can see why you have gone ape.  I think the chemical answer is worse than the fleas for your health.  Cat fleas can not actually live long after biting a human as they are not compatable.  The new fleas have probably just hatched out from your carpet or something similar.  I suggest you buy or borrow a steam cleaner (they only cost about £30) and steam areas you think the kitten has sat.  Prevention is far better than cure, so keep kitty out.  Relax before you get a flashing lights trip to the crazy house.

Answer 6

What did you treat your house with??? some of the flea treatments used have to be repeated in two weeks to kill the larvae when they hatch. Vacuuming really well is also helpful with flea control.

Answer 7

Boots sell a good spray but it'll cost you. About £12 a few years back but it works.  

Answer 8

Menthol, eucaplyptus and garlic are supposed to ward off fleas, but the best solution is to get something from the vet.  All vets flea products are guaranteed to work

Answer 9

I'm just wondering if you live in local authority housing, if you do the council or housing association will be able to fumigate your property and as they are not your pets they could possibly do it for free also if you are on any benefits you may be able to get free help too! bless you very nasty i know it happened to me i moved and the people who lived there before me had 2 dogs 4 cats! as i had no animals they decided to eat me awful really awful good luck hun hope i helped x  

As for fleas not living long after biting humans thats all very good but the neighbour still has the cats and the cats obviously still have fleas so that's not v hepful
