I have fleas! Flea thread 2k10

[Miriel]

We've never had trouble getting rid of fleas. Just chemwarfare the cats and the fleas will be dead and gone real soon. Unless you're Miriel and live somewhere where fleas are apparently immune to such things or smart enough not to bite poisoned cats.

It's not a matter of opinion, flea eggs are incredibly hard to kill. It's just a fact: Flea Egg: Control, Description of Flea Eggs

They're immune to a lot of traditional ways of getting rid adult fleas. There's no known chemical that can penetrate a flea egg's cocoon. You can get rid of live fleas easily enough. Simply vacating a place for a week can kill them. But if you REALLY want to get rid of fleas completely, you have to kill all the lives ones, then wait for the eggs to hatch and get rid of THOSE before they have a chance to lay eggs of their own.

Y'all don't even know the amount of flea research I've done. Read freakin' books about it. Know thy enemy.

Also, using pets as a poison dispenser wasn't an option for us. It's not like we could spray frontline on ourselves and wait for the fleas to hatch, develop into adults, bite us, and die.
