What.

No. Fleas are god damn HARD to get rid of. We had to do a cycle of flea bombing, vacuuming, steam cleaning the carpets, applying chemical powders to all the floor surfaces, and washing every single piece of fabric that the fleas could have embedded eggs into. It is nearly impossible to kill flea eggs.

It took a solid week of hard work to get rid of the fleas.

Getting rid of fleas on your pets is much easier. A nice soapy bath, followed by flea medication and you're set. Fleas inside a carpet floored home is disaster though. I got rid of fleas in my parent's wood floored house in like a day though.

Having fleas was literally one of the worst times in my life. I'm allergic to their bites so I was swollen up like crazy. I would go to bed wearing two pairs socks, leggings, pants, and a sweater with the hood pulled over my face and still wake up with bites. I was ready to move out and into a hotel. It was a smurfing nightmare.
