The bombing has begun!→[More:]That is, the insecticide bombing of the bedrooms in hopes of ridding our apartment of fleas. I return in 2 hours to display a "Mission Accomplished" banner.
Good luck! BoPo went through this recently. Based on what I've seen at the clinic, the mild winter has led to huge populations of fleas (and ticks....and mosquitoes...and grabblefrazzle everything).
Fortunately, I've been spared so far. *knocks on wood*
OMG yes. We had a horrible outbreak and fought it for over 2 months. If the bombs don't work, ping me and I'l tell you about this evil spray we got that seemed to do the trick. (Though I got a bite this week after a couple of weeks of "victory," so I don't think we've completely won even now.)
Good luck! We're fighting ants at the moment, which is no fun. But I know fleas are a whole other level of combative attack needs. Hope you raise the victory flag soon!
