: I had the same problem, and exterminators weren't able to eradicate the fleas. They explained that many pesticides kill the adults but not the larvae. So, the larvae hatch, and you have a new generation of fleas! Try vacuuming like crazy. Go over each area of your carpet several times. And, you'll probably have to do this once or twice daily. Use the attachments on your furniture. If you want to play it safe, you might shove the dust bag from your sweeper into the freezer when you're finished. Take care - you have my complete sympathy! God bless you.

: : ok, any help is appreciated, even though by now i feel like an expert. only a FAILING expert. i have been dealing with a flea problem now for about two months. i have two cats who have had capstar and i have them on advantage every 3-4 weeks. i have used zodiac spray on the entire apartment (which is wall to wall carpet unfortunately) zokiac foggers, zodiac powders, and even a professional exterminator. i have even done treatments every 2-3 weeks as to try and kill the life cycle. BUT THEY KEEP COMING BACK. every 2-3 weeks after i treat the apartment, i begin to see the flea droppings and i notice my cats itching again. has anyone experienced similar problems?? please help. going insane.
